Call for contributions

Looking for the contributions to our Pilsen to Pilsen / Plzeň do Plzně festival.
It will consist of lectures, screenings, discussions, performances.
It will take place in Pilsen, Chicago and simultaneously in Plzeň, Czech Republic. 8 - 10 June 2007.

Hledáme příspěvky pro náš festival Pilsen to Pilsen / Plzeň do Plzně.
Jeho součástí budou přednášky, promítání, diskuse, performance.
Odehraje se v chicagské Pilsen a simultánně v české Plzni. 8. - 10. června 2007.

1. "There is no place like home" video screenings
The slightly ironical title suggests that of course there can be various places which can become home. We are looking for moving images about the transformations of (not only) Chicago and Centre European neighborhoods, travelogues, urban study videos, diaries, documentaries, whatever; also documents or other moving images on these and similar subjects: deja vu, feelings in a family way somewhere you don't belong, floating ideas of home/community, patriotism inside out.

2. Also looking for old documents, amateur films, photos, books, diaries, etc. from "Bohemian era" of Pilsen, people who have some experiences they want to share which we can publish on our website or just read/hear/watch.
We will be in Chicago between 26th of February - 13th of March this year. If someone wanted to meet us, excellent!

3. Participants for internet interconnecting the two Pilsens on two continents
- help us invent ways how to interchange ideas, photos, sounds, objects, communicate with the B/bohemian ghosts, making simmultaneous performances, etc. etc.
