Hey y'all,

It is with great pride, enthusiasm, and excitement that we announce that Reel Grrls is making a trip to the 2008 Sundance Film Festival!

The Sundance Institute awarded us with a ticket package that covers films and panels for grrls and chaperons, but we need to raise the money for travel, lodging and food.

If you are looking for a good cause to support this holiday season, visit www.reelgrrls.org and click on the "donate" link under the Sundance announcement. We only need to raise about another $1000, so every little bit helps! You can make your secure, tax-deductible donations via PayPal and know that you did a good deed.

Spread the word!

Thank you from the bottom of our film-loving hearts,

Reel Grrls.

Hey Reel Grrls! Three important and quick announcements for all you cinephiles* out there:

ONE:

Just a quick reminder that the first Reel Grrls Film Club outing is happening TODAY - and a note that the time has changed:

We are meeting at 4:00pm at the AMC Theatres at Pacific Place, which is on 6th Avenue and Pine Street, in downtown Seattle. Here is a map: http://www.pacificplaceseattle.com/map.html

First, we will have a tour of the projection booth!

The film begins at 4:50.

We are seeing Across the Universe, which was directed by Julie Taymor, and is rated PG-13. You can scope it out here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0445922/

If you plan to come, please let me know by 3:30 today! We would love to have you join us. Oh, and I forgot to mention that this excursion is totally FREE! (Thanks, Ruth!)

TWO:

Our fabulous mentor, Rita, has been hard at work coordinating the amazing upcoming Independent South Asian Film Festival, which is happening at the Broadway Performance Hall at Broadway and Pine in Capitol Hill October 3-7, and Reel Grrls does not want to let this amazing event pass us by!

I am going to attend the screening of The Shape of Water at 4:00 on Sunday, October 7th, and I would love it if you would join me!

And check this out: The post film discussion will be facilitated by the Tasveer Youth Initiative, a collective of diverse South Asian youth helping promote a progressive outlook on issues related to South Asia and the Diaspora through the medium of independent film. They offer vital information, unique perspectives, and background knowledge to post-screening discussions of independent South Asian films.

I think Reel Grrls should definitely be there to show our support for other wicked-awesome Seattle youth organizations.

You can find out more about this film here: http://isaff.tasveer.org/2007/program.php?id=12ev_17

And more about the festival in general here: http://isaff.tasveer.org/2007/index.php

If you are interested in taking full advantage of this Festival, Rita gave me a few more recommendations:

Saturday 2pm View from a Grain of Sand (one or two gory afghan taliban scenes) but otherwise it is a great film, made by a woman about 3 brave women.

Sunday October 7th, 2007 2:00 PM: Global Shorts: Love, Dreams and Despair (shorts from all over south Asia).

And best of all, every bit of this Festival is totally FREE! So please join me at The Shape of Water on Sunday, October 7th, and take advantage of this fantastic event.

THREE:

Superduperquickreminder: Animation Workshop applications are due October 1st, which is this Monday! Space is limited for this event, so hurry up and register! Information is available on our website and you can always email or call me.

Hope to see you soon!
