This Tour Has 7 Days

In addition we are hosting a local film making project similar to the 48-hour movie, called "This Tour has 7 days" where local film makers have 7 days to film "Exercise Charging Bison" of troops on Winnipeg Streets, and create a short to be screened on the last Sunday afternoon of the festival at Cinemateque. The idea is to also create an archive of the raw footage of troop movement in Winnipeg to create a stock footage archive for members of the Film Group and Video Pool to use in the future as well. The opening session of this part would be a workshop to set out the legal aspects of guerilla and documentary filming on the streets entitled "Shooting in the Streets: Know Your Rights!"

We are holding a registration session on April15th for all film makers who would like to film this extraordinary event. We will have an advance screeening od "Medium Cool" for inspiration. Like the "Pirates of The Caribbean", our workshop at 7PM on the day before the festival will set down the rules of engagement, that will be considered "more like guidelines". We are asking for pre registration on the 15th, as we are going to issue identification for our film makers, camera operators, etc.

Films will be shown starting at 2PM on Sunday, May 7th at Cinemateque. We are still looking for prizes. Anyone who could help out here?
