Big Week for PACE

Hey Guys,

Very important week for PACE next week

There are three major things happening next that we need members to support in a big way. Starting on Thursday, continuing on Friday and Saturday

Thurs Nov 19^th at 9:00 a.m. at the Pastoral Centre

Workshop on a Strategic Plan for PACE

A draft plan was circulated earlier for your comments. It’s attached again so have a look at it. This is a crucial meeting as we will attempt to lay down a strategic plan for the CREATIVE SECTOR which includes fashion, music, film, visual and performing arts, arts and crafts, advertising, audio-visual and architecture.

This plan will guide the work of PACE for the next 2-3 years so please we need your involvement on Thursday November 19^th at the Pastoral Centre from 9:00 a.m. Maxine Alleyne-Esprit of the Export Development Unit of the OECS Secretariat will be there as well, so please turn out in good numbers for this. We need to demonstrate that things are happening in St. Lucia – it’s the only way we can qualify for grants and other financial support. So be part of it.

Friday Nov 20^th – Film Premier of ‘A Winter Tale’

Trinidadian Film Director Frances-Anne Solomon will be here on Friday next week for the St. Lucia premier of her film “A Winter Tale”. Ms. Solomon who now lives in Canada also puts on annual film festivals there featuring Caribbean and African film producers. Come support a Caribbean film producer. The Caribbean Cinemas as agreed to premier the film from 7:00p.m. on Friday Nov 20^th – so again we need the members of PACE to attend this event. Also feel free to invite other persons as well. It’s not a free movie, so walk with $15 to pay for your ticket. Ms. Solomon will meet with members of PACE after the film in the small party room at the Cinema. Please support this event.

Saturday Nov 21^st – Meeting with Trinidad Film Producer

On Saturday November 21^st at 3:00p.m. at Bay Gardens Inn [venue to be confirmed] we will be hosting a session with Frances-Anne Solomon to discuss a number of film related issues – she’ll talk about her experience as a film director/producer, the Caribbean Tales film festival in Canada and the possibilities for St. Lucian film producers in Canada. It’s a big deal, so be part of this as we move towards advancing a film industry in St. Lucia.
