global initiatives in your back yard

My friends Jill Binder and Kajin Goh are attempting to create a Vancouver chapter for Pangea Day, a global film festival, “The day the world comes together through film”.

From the site: “On May 10, 2008, a 4-hour live streaming program of films & social consciousness outreach will be broadcast everywhere — everyone around the planet will be watching the same thing at the same time. The idea is a movement to promote World Peace through the medium of moving pictures. Films are powerful. Are they powerful enough to cause a global shift?”

If you’re interested, they’re having a meeting tonight at the End Cafe on Commercial Drive, (just north of Broadway SkyTrain Station), from 5:30 – 7 o’clock. I’m told that they are often late to their own meetings, so don’t be discouraged if you don’t see them right away.
