$5,000 Needed to Screen A Name is A Name in Washington, D.C.
UMD would like to hold a public screening of the new documentary A Name is A Name in Washington, D.C. in the beginning of 2010 (January or February). In order to hold such an event, it will cost UMD $5,000.00, this will include rental for a theatre, catering for a pre- or post-screening reception, and minimal marketing of the film (printed invitations and flyers). This is for one screening only. It would be great to have a two-night public screening one week apart so word of mouth can spread. But our goal is to raise $5,000.00 in order to hold this screening.
As you know the Greek-American community and the Greek diplomatic community in Washington, D.C. has been in uproar trying to not allow the screening of A Name is A Name or anywhere else for that matter. They put so much pressure that the Icelandic Ambassador canceled a private screening at his home, which several members of Congress were planning to attend.
Are we going to allow them to deny our right of freedom of speech in the United States, and other places? NO!
