A few weeks ago I started putting together a Microcinema Map on
Wayfaring.com (i was bored and admittedly obsessed with diagrams and ways of
further organizing and classifying my life in complicated and time consuming
ways). Basically, the map is styled after Google Maps, you can click on a
point and information about that point pops up. This can be a website link,
a picture, a movie, your address, whatever.
I have about 30 venues entered (some of the US biggies). There is no way I
can manage this map, especially with flux of local microcinemas so I've
opened it up to allow anyone to edit it. It would be great if anyone on
this list running a microcinema or someone very familiar with the area could
register sites on the map.
http://www.wayfaring.com/maps/show/1151
Editing the map requires opening an account that just requires a username
and password, no long forms to fill out. If you have a somewhat permanent
screening space I would enter that address, If your venues vary you can
place your point anywhere in a city (maybe put yourself in a lake or river
to avoid confusion of occupying an actual space) and not specify an
address. Under "links and information" post your website and write "venues
vary." You can also include a brief description
I'd like to keep the list reserved for ORGANIZATIONS that regularly screen
this type of work and not have this become a list of Arthouse Cinemas or
bars that occasionally let people set up screenings. Better to have a
listing of the SOURCE.
If you need any help feel free to contact me. Hope this works.
