SANAHIRVIÖIDEN MAAILMASSA
Pitkälti Lönnrot2017 projektin seurauksena viritellään kansainvälistä ennenkaikkea nettiin perustuvaa hanketta, joka yhdistäisi eri julkaisualustat golbaalissa prosessissa. Täytyy tunnustaa, että uuden median alueella on aikamoisia sanahirviöitä, kuten "global multi-media,crosssplatform. net-based 360 grades project."
Sunny Side Of Docissa pelkästään kutsutuille tarkotiettu palaveri meni niin hyvin, että jatkoa seuraa nyt eri tapahtumissa ( EsoDoc, Sheffield, IDFA, LINCT) ja mahdollisimman yksinkertainen kutsukin on julkaistu. Sen teksti on seuraava:

The process continues:
At Sheffield documentary film festival we will have a 2 hour session (participation by invitation only) where 5 projects will be introduced with a demo of net platform.
After Sheffield the process continues at IDFA with a similar kind of a session.
Between of these two we hope to have one session in New Delhi and 1-2 sessions on-line.
