CHEZ MONICA






















  • Chez Monica






Many of you who attended the Prix Europa and the previous Prix Futura spent


long nights in a little, brown café near the Sender Freies Berlin.


A most hidden very basic volkskaffee in the dark sidestreets of the Kaiserdamm.



Chez Monica was and still is the meeting place for the night cap, for


feverish feature discussions, for new friendships, co-productions plans


and radio dreams of all kinds. There I met Katarina Blomqvist from Finland,


who developed with Hannu Karisto new ways to explore the marriage between


radio and Internet. Katarina mailed us this interesting invitation to all


who want to join for a virtual rendez-vous Chez Monica and to share their


experiences on the matter. And frivolous Willem added the drinks!



Come and join!




















Chez Monica





I find the IFC-web site


a very useful tool. It provides information of what's happening and it


also has good archive resources. There's one thing, however, that I'm missing


at the moment: a web page to discuss actual programs. Would it be possible


to create a site where we could listen to the same program and be able


to discuss about it?


That type of site could be constructed


in many ways, of course, but here's some ideas how it could work.


First


of all, that type of site would make it possible to get professional feedback


of one's work. And that's valuable!



Site could be a "short feature


corner". It could concentrate on short features, because they are easy


to listen to via the Internet. And as the world is going towards the shorter


form, it is relevant also for radio feature makers to enter that area.


Going short doesn't mean going shallow!


Web


site could also be a test bed for experimental works. It would be a forum


where we could try out new forms and unconventional ideas.



New program could be "released"


at the same time as the IFC-newsletter. So the site would renew itself


once in a month and provide a fresh subject for discussion.



The language of the program wouldn't


be a problem because it is easy to have translations available in the site


as well.


I


know that there is a huge pile of copyright problems involved, but people


do make programs also from copyright free material.


Dear colleagues, what do you think?


Is there any need for this type of virtual "Chez Monica" at the IFC-website?


Would you like to discuss programs also outside the conferences? Or, is


there some other way you'd like to use the IFC-page more efficiently? I


hope to meet you all in the cyberspace,

Re: CHEZ MONICA


a grand idea -- but where is everybody?




the bar only gets the juices flowing after it reaches a critical mass. at least three people. (two to argue, one to control edwin... heh heh)




hey gang, I have seen flower arranging forums that generate more sparks than this! where is everyone?
