At the last Open Screen/Open Mic on the 31st of January at Sarai, about 
30 people came together to listen, watch and experience mixed media 
forms over a period of about three hours.

We wish to continue these sessions as a way for people working across a 
diversity of forms to come and share their work in an open, fun and 
relaxed context. We like the dynamic that is produced when all kinds of 
forms are brought together in the same space, a feast with many dishes 
to choose from, so to speak.

The next Open Screen/Open Mic is on the 10th of March. Perhaps you might 
want to transfer some older footage onto DVD/VCD format, or forage 
through photographs and select some you would like to share, or choose a 
piece to read/perform aloud.

Everyone gets upto 10 minutes to screen/play video/audio works, and 
read/perform text based work. You can share video, audio, poetry, spoken 
word, a short prose piece, a performance, singly or in groups, in any 
language (though do be prepared to translate for those uninitiated) The 
screening/performance is decided on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Film, Video, Animation and Audio pieces should be between 1-10 minutes 
long, and on DVD/VCD format only. Alternatively you can also pipe from a 
laptop. You can share a complete work, parts of a work, a work in 
progress, even stills, in B/W and/or colour.

Do come, tell your friends and share an evening with us!
