NAPT
is heading to San Francisco in May to partake in the annual INPUT conference.
INPUT (International Public Television) is a unique conference that brings
together 2,000 independent and public broadcasting producers representing
60 countries to view films produced for public broadcast, facilitate discourse
on various topics related to public broadcasting and join in workshops and
discussions. INPUT offers the opportunity to meet other independent producers,
learn more about public broadcasting from a worldwide perspective and discuss
the issues that concern public broadcasting. Eighty to one hundred fi lms
produced for public broadcast will be screened during the week followed by
moderated discussions. Hosted by ITVS this year’s conference will “make
an unprecedented commitment to diversity, collaboration and international
exchange.” More information is available at www.input2005.org.
