[Frameworks] Reminder: Call for Entries: Festival of (In)appropriation: deadline May 15!

[Raquel Schefer]

Dear Jaimie,

I hope everything is fine with you.
I sent today my application to the festival’s 2012 edition. I think the dvd
will probably take 4-5 days to arrive to L.A. I hope it won’t  arrive after
the submission's deadline.
How is the dvd’s preparation going?

Best,
Raquel.
