Panel:  “Building the Next Community Media Portal” --

A powerful new communication model has been developed in Maine by a group of filmmakers, software developers, educators and linguists.  It was created to save a dying language, Passamaquoddy, by using documentary film and software to link vocabulary with direct experience in the context of traditional activities.  So many more community needs can be addressed with the creative use of media and the internet.  Entrepreneurs, creative professionals, technologists, policy makers, social advocates, and any interested persons are invited to participate in this workshop. We will present video case studies and help facilitate attendees to brainstorm their own community documentation needs with feedback from an interdisciplinary panel.

Admission $10.  MFVA Members Free.  Annual Membership $25 professional; $10 students Light lunch included.
