Hosting TFSA
2006 The TFSA package
comes with the 15 films in professional-quality
Mini-DV tapes (or VHS cassettes or DVDs), TFSA
posters, festival catalogues and display material.
It is recommended that the TFSA be shown through
high-quality video projection systems. The 15
films vary significantly in length and may ideally
be screened over three consecutive afternoons-evenings,
though a more flexible schedule may certainly
be considered. Cumulatively, the 15 documentaries
constitute approximately 15 hours of viewing time.
Please note that
the festival will only travel to cities where
host organisations are willing to take full responsibility
for publicity, screenings and all associated logistics.
As per FSA's agreement with the individual filmmakers
and production houses, the screenings may only
be non-commercial. This means that entry fees
at TFSA may at best be used to offset screening
costs, and nothing more.
Costs
There is no charge levied on hosts and venues
within South Asia. Beyond the region, an all-inclusive
charge of USD 700 per venue is levied by the FSA
Secretariat in order to defray all TFSA-related
costs (anything left over will go to the organisation
of FSA’07, to be held in September 2007).
The local host (whether in South Asia or overseas)
takes the responsibility of dispatching the set
of films to the next venue as directed by the
FSA Secretariat.
Budget allowing,
the TFSA host may want to invite the individual
filmmakers to their venue. While it is not obligatory,
the host may also consider inviting an FSA official
from Kathmandu, who will be able to introduce
the festival before the local audience and in
doing so promote the agenda of non-fiction film
in South Asia. Any host seeking the presence of
an FSA official will have to pick up the related
cost of travel and stay.
