6th Annual

Alliance For Community Media Northeast Regional

Fall Conference & Video Festival

October 24 and 25, 2003 - Portland, Maine

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.

CTAM Fall 2001 Conference Tapes Still Available!!

Randy Visser at the Spring Point Media Center at SMTC has edited Lake Region TV's video of the morning sessions into two tapes:

Tape 1 - "Giving Voice to the People" contains the Morning Workshop Session for Managers and is two hours in length. It is recommended for showing to small groups interested in community access rather than for cablecasting to the general public.

Tape 2 - "Building Community Through Media" includes the keynote address by Mr. Dirk Koning, Executive Director of the Grand Rapids, MI Community Media Center and is 30 minutes in length.
