Community Life"
6th Annual
Alliance For Community Media Northeast Regional
Fall Conference & Video Festival

Highlights will include an opening night reception and
live cablecast featuring some of Maine's best musicians at the studio of the
Community Television Network, Portland Mayor Jim Cloutier will make opening
remarks, workshops sessions on four tracks (policy, producer, youth and
documentary) throughout the day on Saturday, keynote speaker for the
luncheon will be the former governor of Maine: Angus King, time to explore
Portland's terrific attractions and restaurants and the Video Festival
Awards Ceremony in the evening, followed by an "apr�s festival soir�e" at
the Top of the East bar.
Our conference will focus on the role of public,
governmental and educational access stations in documenting community life.
We are making a special effort to plan workshops that will be of interest to
the smaller, more rural access stations in the northeast region that operate
on largely volunteer labor.
