    >Dear friends,

    >Heidi Phillips and me organized a live screening in the middle of
    >the city on extra nice and big LCD screen showing 9 short
    >experimental movies (including our own, recorded same week with
    >lomokino!). This art intervention, as we like to call it, was our
    >response to over-commercialized urban landscape. We would like to
    >think that we set free a small piece of public space and offered
    >something else to people than everyday monotonous, all-encompassing,
    >in-you-face, commercial adds.
    >
    >Plus, there is something beautiful having large LCD screen showing
    >colours and shapes, with no immediate messages. So we called it
    >Breathing Space, a space where you stop, take a breath and enjoy.
    >
    >We would like to extend this project to others we know and care
    >about. We would like to screen your films on the sreen as long as we
    >are alowed, and we would also like you to look in your neighbourhood
    >for similar screening places where this can be done.
    >
    >Please send us your VIMEO links to short videos, no entering or
    >exiting credentials, no sound (or if there is sound and credentials,
    >your permission to cut them out of the movie), no longer than 2
    >minutes (ok, not that we will count every second), no shorter than 3
    >seconds. Preffered is full PAL, but any will be ok, as long as we
    >can convert it. Heidi and me are very demanding curators, so don’t
    >send just anything – send us your best! No commercials, pls.
    >
    >Do spread this email to people you care about, and would like them
    >to show their short movie in public.
    >
    >This is non-for-profit event, so we are sorry that we cannot offer
    >any royalties.

    >wishing you all best,
