Subject: swapathgami filmmaking workshop

dear friendsHope you all are doing well!

I am writing to let you know that the sixth annual Swapathgami
Filmmaking Workshop will be held from October 3-13 2009, here in
Udaipur, Rajasthan. Our intention is to support community media and
diverse expressions.

As in years past, we will jump into filmmaking and genuine living!  We
will spend our time: making a film with a team, discussing various
kinds of films, participating in learning exchanges, bettering our
interviewing techniques, making a sound story and an image story, and
much more!  A few different independent / swapathgami filmmakers will
be coming to support our learning journey.  If you want to learn more
about the workshop, check out images and happenings of past years’
workshops at www.swaraj.org/shikshantar/walkoutsnetwork.htm

No prior filmmaking experience is necessary, nor are any
qualifications or degrees.  We are looking for dynamic, creative,
sincere people to be a part of this workshop.   We only have room for
25 people this year, so please get in touch as soon as possible, if
you're interested.

We will be serving delicious vegetarian and zero oil food and focusing
on local grains (bring your favorite recipes as well). We are asking
that people cover their own travel to-from Udaipur, and contribute
Rs.800 for food, accommodation and materials. As with all Swapathgami
events, people are invited to give what they can; scholarships are
available to those who need them. And if you can, your additional
contributions help to support other peoples’ participation.  We are
proud to say that the Swapathgami Network does not take any funding,
but rather is financed by its own members.

Please feel free to forward the invitation to others.  Please let me
<manish@swaraj.org> know, as soon as possible, if you are interested
in coming.

Best wishes and love,
Manish, Shammi, Nitin
