Peace Tree & Shinnyo-en reply

I am interested in at least showing it once at Casady. Are you all interested in the film at all? See below the e-mail from the director.



Thanks for your message and for your interest in showing The Peace Tree. Will this be a one time screening or will the university keep the DVD and show it again in the future? That determines the license which will go toward the post-production of our new film that we recently shot in India.

Thanks and hope you have a great International Day of Peace celebration.

Warmest regards,

Hi Carmen,

Yes, if a high school acquires the dvd, they can show the film in perpetuity too, but it can only be shown within the high school.

Best regards,
Mitra

May I suggest for the meeting to take place on the 5th unless there is a problem with Bill and Mikel. Mikel has younger children and maybe she could be on speaker phone like we did with Joan at the last meeting. Joan, Steve and Gigi have responded as able to participate.
I received the following response from Shinnyo-en:At the Foundation we are at a critical junction formulating our strategic plans under new leadership, and by September we will move to another office within the same building. In light of these issues, we are very sorry to inform you, but we won’t be able to provide substantial sponsorship to your peace events this year.

As for the DVD, Barefoot Gen, I believe we have an in-house copy. I will inquire to other staff if we could make another copy for an educational purpose without impinging on the copy right issue. In addition, we have a booklet that includes discussion questions about Barefoot Gen that Stanford’s SPICE program created. I’ll ask our staff to make copies of both the DVD and the booklet and mail them to you shortly.

I wish you the best for the Peace Day events! We’d love to feature this year’s activities on our website again. It will be great if a faculty member or an older student could write an article and send us some photos!

Best regards,

Ineko
