<div dir="ltr">Sound like interesting event, I think maybe we can arrange a nice cocktail for the volunteers and other people who will want to "celebrate" with us - and them show them the movie in a cinema here, and arranging such a panel after that. <br>
<br>I will be happy to know if the foundation will can arrange the chapters who want to do that..<br><br><br>Itzik<br> <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Oct 21, 2010 at 12:31 PM, Samuel Klein <span dir="ltr"><<a href="http://meta.sj">meta.sj</a>@<a href="http://gmail.com">gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

York City @ the Paley Center (I was in person, he by skype), and I got<br>
to talk with the distributors after the event.<br>
<br>
a) their primary distributors are the people who worked on RIP:<br>
<a href="http://ripremix.com/" target="_blank">http://ripremix.com/</a><br>
I just found out last night; this is good news.<br>
<br>
b) everyone can stream the film for free for the next few weeks from<br>
<a href="http://snagfilms.com" target="_blank">snagfilms.com</a>, one of their online channels:<br>
<a href="http://www.snagfilms.com/films/title/truth_in_numbers_everything_according_to_wikipedia/" target="_blank">http://www.snagfilms.com/films/title/truth_in_numbers_everything_according_to_wikipedia/</a><br>
<br>
c) we can arrange wikipedia screenings through them, but do need<br>
permission. They want the film to generate discussions useful to the<br>
movement as much as possible. I believe a screening in Germany and<br>
one at the Drumbeat Festival in Barcelona are already planned. My<br>
understanding is that any event designed to generate recorded debate<br>
and followup, or translating the extending into a new language, would<br>
be welcome. If we make a list of wiki-X screenings we can ask for<br>
permission for all of them at once.<br>
<br>
d) they are thinking about creative ways to run a series of<br>
outreach/publicity events around the film; getting new audiences to<br>
read or edit or talk about a favorite topic [the end of the film has a<br>
cute sequence in which many of the non-wikipedians interviewed for the<br>
film are asked if they have read their own bio, and shown a copy -<br>
then watched as they read over it. this could be repeated with local<br>
celebs in each place where there's a screening.]<br>
<br>
In general, I like the film a lot more after seeing it for the second<br>
time, in a very different audience (and seeing their live reactions).<br>
