If so, maybe we could collaborate on something? Pangea (think "connectedness") is a four-hour event on Sat. May 10th, celebrating independent films from around the world. It's the brainchild of Jehane Noujaim, the Egyptian American documentary filmmaker, who won a $100,000 TED "wish" and decided to spend the money on "world peace"--for starters she proposed a worldwide day of seeing each other through the eyes of documentary filmmakers. And while our center's humble lounge will not rival the outdoor theaters being set up in Cairo and Rio and 350 other places in 60 countries, it seems like a nice way to bring people into our center (or possibly outside the center) on a Saturday in May for a good cause.
