ANNOUNCEMENT TO ALL PANGEA DAY FILMMAKERS:
In our first year, Pangea Day received over 2500 entries from over 120 countries worldwide. Thank you for being one of them.
The volume of submissions and the high quality of the work we received made the selection process extremely competitive. All of the submissions were carefully screened and assessed through an extensive editorial process involving independent media professionals. We recognize the challenges facing independent filmmakers today, and we commend you on your efforts. We welcome the opportunity to review your future projects.
All winning filmmakers have been contacted individually.

ABOUT PANGEA DAY:
In a world where people are often divided by borders, difference, and conflict, it's easy to lose sight of what we all have in common. Pangea Day seeks to overcome that -- to help people see themselves in others -- through the power of film.
On May 10, 2008 -- Pangea Day -- sites in Cairo, Kigali, London, Los Angeles, Mumbai, and Rio de Janeiro will be linked to produce a 4-hour program of powerful films, visionary speakers, and uplifting music. The program will be broadcast live to the world through the Internet, television, digital cinemas, and mobile phones.
Pangea is the name of the original super-continent which contained all the world's land mass before the continents started splitting apart 250 million years ago. We're launching Pangea Day with the vision that the people of the world can begin to overcome their divisions, and that the power of film can help make it possible.
Movies can't change the world. But the people who watch them can.
On May 10, we want the whole world to be watching the Pangea Day program. Join an extraordinary community of people who are coming together to do just that by hosting an event.
You can host a Pangea Day event in your home, school, town square, or wherever you want to gather your friends, family, and community.
Visit www.pangeaday.org/events.php and plot your event on our map today! And check out our website www.pangeaday.org for more information.
And, join our new YouTube group to discuss Pangea Day and share videos on May 10th!
