[matilda] Lost Film Fest in Sheffield

[Fabian Frenzel]

Hi Doughald,

> I'm not being paranoid.

I was not saying you were paranoid, but you were suggesting we should not
adress to the media, because 'sniffing journalists' might harm our
position towards Matilda and that is were I disagree. What I was saying
is: If they start sniffing (which they might or might not, unconnected to
the press release), thats good for us...we do not need to be afraid of
that.

>decided at the meeting on 19th June.

it is not about annoucing the opening and by the way Matilda has already
been open for the G8.
Also in the meeting on 19th June there was a decision to have the event,
which also makes it necessary to publicise it...and also:
Isn't the group process  based on the idea to get Matilda going as a
social centre (a wide open term, used for a variety of different spaces
throughout Europe)? Therefore I understand it implicit to the process that
there is a consensus on starting Matilda as a social centre. (and not a
hospital, a cinema or a club)

Anyway what could be more like seeking actively publicity then having big
banners hanging down from Matilda ?

So what do we do wrong/new with a press release annoucing an event in
Matilda?

(Is that our conversation only ? does someone else has an opinion about
this?)
