20-min screening sets stage for 75-min screening
a Iraq for Sale in Austin, MN on October 23 hosting review
Riverland Community College's International Club sent officers to last Tuesday's Austin Library's 30-person screening of 75-minute i4s film. Then yesterday RCC IC at noon screened for 15 students, faculty & staff the 20-minute organizing version of i4s. The instructor who led the discussion after yesterday's screening will tomorrow faciltate a larger goup of citizens and students in a public community 75-minute screening to take place in the same well-equipped room with excellent tiered seating for 50. Next week, instructor(s) might show the film to class(es) they teach. These four-stages -- 1) previewing, 2) organizing, 3) public, and possibly 4) class screenings -- work well in a community college setting.

Questions for the host:

Q: Why did you host this screening? What were your goals?
A: to involve younger citizens/students as well the previously involved more senior citizens in viewing & discusssing this film

Q: Any additional materials you could have used?
A: An unrequested envelope of large posters and other promotional materials arrived last weekend and proved to be very helpful.

Q: Any ideas on how you can use "Iraq for Sale" in the future?
A: We are still learning, as these screenings snowball here in S MN!

Q: Any advice for future screening hosts?
A: Treat libraries, colleges, homes and political campaigns differently, in that such diverse venues attract varied audiences.

The venue, Riverland Community College Austin East Building Room C100, gets 5 stars
