We have a film center (www.filmcenter.boun.edu.tr) here at Bogazici
University (www.boun.edu.tr) with a nice screening room that seats about 55
people and we can show from a PAL DVCAM tape if that is preferred.

Mekas opening screening Tonight
So far it's been DVCAM.  I believe all upcoming screenings are also using
this format.  However, we do have the piece on DVDS (both PAL & NTSC).
