NORTHWEST FILMMAKERS' UN-CONFERENCE 2015
NORTHWEST FILMMAKERS’ UN-CONFERENCE
Saturday, November 14, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
Whitsell Auditorium, Portland Art Museum
1219 SW Park Ave.
AND
Northwest Film Center
934 SW Salmon St.
The Northwest region is brimming with filmmaking talent and expertise—and the Filmmakers’ Un-conference provides an opportunity for these makers to come together and share their own ideas and inspiration. The Un-conference is unique in that it is largely user-organized: participants suggest the topics, make the schedule and lead the discussions. It’s a dizzying carnival of practical breakout sessions where novice filmmakers might meet their next collaborators and accomplished filmmakers might meet their inspiration. Thanks to KIND Healthy Snacks for providing breakfast snacks and to Chipotle for providing lunch vouchers. Contact Festival Manager Thomas Phillipson at thomas@nwfilm.org to sign up.
ADMISSION $10. (This includes the Chipotle free entree card and proceeds help the Northwest Film Center provide services to filmmakers).
For those new to the BarCamp world, welcome to a user-generated un-conference organized for and by filmmakers like yourself. This is an opportunity to meet and share information with scores of experts and foragers alike. Think about topics you would like to know more about or that you might want to share your own expertise about and then imagine a roomful of whipsmart filmmakers think-tanking the issues and sharing best practices and scary roads to avoid. It's fun, it's lively, and it's the best way we could ever imagine to get our wildly talented and creative film community (that's you) to help each other and to help themselves with on the ground ideas and inspirations you can plug right into your next production. Remember, user-generated means just that you are needed to help organize the event and you decide how it all comes together.
HERE’S HOW YOU PARTICIPATE

You will be asked to register with wiki—the password is: c4mp
Important note: If you prefer not to receive e-mails every time a BarCamp page is edited, go to: https://my.pbwiki.com/?p=home and adjust your preferences.
Once you have registered, you are logged in and will come to the edit page where you can add your name, title and contact info and also suggest a topic. You just type right onto the page and then click "save" at the bottom. If you have a topic you would like to present, just add your name behind that topic. It sounds a little scary to be fiddling with the web page, but know that I save versions of it often so if something goes wildly awry, just e-mail me and I should be able to sew it back up lickety-split.
If you are totally confounded, e-mail film@nwfilm.org with the subject: UN-CONFERENCE
