Friends and colleagues: Archaeology film festivals have grown in number and
popularity in recent years, especially in Europe.  One of the best known
among the European festivals is the Icronos International Archaeology Film
Festival of Bordeaux, France.  We asked Laetitia Dion, the organizer of the
Icronos Festival, to give us an inside view of such an event in the latest
Audio Interview featured by our public education website, The Archaeology
Channel (www.archaeologychannel.org).

Every two years, the Icronos Festival brings archaeological film producers
to France to share their works in front of a live audience.  One of a number
of such festivals in Europe, the Icronos Festival has created a valuable
venue for producers specializing in this genre and a wonderful opportunity
for the public to experience archaeology through the medium of film and
video.  Ms. Dion and her organization have been very helpful also in
providing assistance to ALI as we organize The Archaeology Channel
International Film and Video Festival, to be held at the McDonald Theatre in
Eugene, Oregon, USA, during 16-19 July 2003.  More information about that
event as well as the Icronos Festival is available on our website.

This and other programs are available on TAC for your use and enjoyment.  If
you feel that this project is a worthy endeavor, please participate in our
Membership (http://www.archaeologychannel.org/member.html) and Underwriting
(http://www.archaeologychannel.org/sponsor.html) programs.  Only with your
help can we continue and enhance this nonprofit public-education and
visitor-supported service.  We also welcome new content partners as we reach
out to the world community.

Please forward this message to others who may be interested.
