Hi all,
Hope everyone is well! The deadline for proposals for the Archival Screening Night at ACA is tomorrow (Friday). So far we have 11 submissions, which is great!! I don't expect we'll get that many more between now and tomorrow night. So I know we had talked about a selection committee BUT 11 clips at 5 mins is only 55 minutes. I was thinking we should just accept all of the people who applied. Does anyone have a problem with this? If you'd like to see the responses before you decide, let me know and I can do a report and send it around after the deadline closes. But honestly, I would feel a bit weird about saying no to someone when we have loads of time.
Also, depending on whether we get more entries today and tomorrow or not, we could talk about starting a bit later (I know that was a concern raised that it started too early). I will have to talk to Julia on the Host Committee to see if it's possible to change the time when registration is already open.
Anyway, please get in touch as soon as you can if you are against just saying yes to everyone who sent a proposal, otherwise, I will assume you're okay with it.
best
