We think your work may have some link to this specific subject or that you may be able to pass the information to someone who would be interested.
Once this first edition is created, we will then be able to actually set up the diffusion process and meetings we wish to organize around this video library.
You can mail us at collectionanad[at]gmail[dot]com for the details of the project and the application process (in french/english).
Deadline is the 31st of January 2012. We will then select the videos mid february."
