Netroots Nation Screening Series Presented by Screening Liberally
The Netroots Nation Screening Series runs throughout the conference, presenting films, videos and discussions of the use of such media in progressive organizing and communications. Past series have included premieres of full-length works, showcase segments of works-in-progress, discussions about grassroots and online film production and distribution and interviews with filmmakers and activists. You can view past Screening Series tracks for 2009 and 2008 to get an idea of what we've done in the past.
Due to the limited time and the abundance of talent and expertise, we show very few full-length features. Instead, we highlight films -- finished and in-progress -- through a series of showcases, where filmmakers have 15 minutes to show clips, answer questions, solicit ideas, seek alliances and supporters.
The deadline for submissions is March 31, 2010. The deadline has been EXTENDED and is now Tuesday, April 6, 2010

How are submissions chosen?
Members of our Screening Series team, lead by the good folks at Screening Liberally, will review all of the submissions, both films and sessions. We'll be evaluating them with many of the same criteria in mind as general session proposals, so we encourage you to read those guidelines.
