Pangea Day: Largest Global Film Festival in History: May 10th! Watch, listen, learn and share

Like most global modernists, I love indie flicks and can’t get enough of their edgy content. So when I learned about Pangea Day, I realized I had to participate in spreading the word about this historical event.

If you have not heard, Pangea Day (May 10th, this Sat folks!) will be the largest global film festival in history.

Festival Mission

To help build global unity – through the power of film. Got to love that!

On May 10, 2008, locations in Cairo, Kigali, London, Los Angeles,Mumbai, and Rio de Janeirowill be linked for a live program of powerful films, live music, and visionary speakers. The entire program will be broadcast – in seven languages – to millions of people worldwide through the internet, television, and mobile phones. The 24 short films to be featured have been selected from over one hundred countries. Details on the Pangea Day films can be viewed here.
