Dear Robin,<br><br>precisely because of its success, and some of the inherent dangers of their message, it's important that some people speak out, so I really hope you can do this,<br><br><br>On Fri, Jan 21, 2011 at 6:02 PM, robin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:robokow@gmail.com">robokow@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
wrote about zeitgeist/venus project on the list before (in a pretty<br>
biased way) and things are moving forward with the zeitgeist movement.<br>
I am thinking about a possibly somewhat balanced blog-post, but I am<br>
not sure yet.<br>
<br>
Haven't seen this new movie yet which as far as I've understood/ heard<br>
is less superficial than the ones before. Anyone went to see it?<br>

Subject: Zeitgeist: Moving Forward Update | Internet/DVD Release<br>
<br>
Bravo to the Movement!!<br>
<br>
*UPDATE:<br>
I'm happy to report that "Zeitgeist: Moving Forward" is a wild success and<br>
turned into an unprecedented film release premiere. What started as a<br>
thought of having maybe 30 total theaters screening the film instead turned<br>
into 30 languages alone with a total count of 335 theaters in 60 countries,<br>
and still growing daily! With multiple screenings at most of the 335<br>
theaters, our total number of screenings is well over 1,000 world-wide. The<br>
response to the film has been huge... reports coming in of sold-out crowds<br>
in venues ranging upwards of 500-900 seat capacity.<br>
<br>
With only minimal feedback so far, here are some noteworthy examples of the<br>
global impact of ZMF. In Vancouver, Canada they booked an 820 seat theater<br>
but had about 2,000 people show up! Ryan, the coordinator, had to turn<br>
hundreds away and fortunately was able to secure another 700 seat venue for<br>
a few days later. In Serbia, the coordinator Milan, had a 400 seat theater<br>
overflowing with people, many people sitting on the floor and in the<br>
aisles! They "had" to book additional screenings to meet the demand. �Bruno<br>
from Brazil is reporting over capacity crowds and booked new screenings in<br>
larger venues. �Natalija, the Croatian coordinator, had sell out crowds<br>
with professors, scientists and media in attendance and requests to<br>
interview her. �Stefan in Denmark and Seth in the Netherlands have both had<br>
press and public screenings that included former members of Parliament,<br>
scientists and professors as well as media with interviews. �In Russia, the<br>
theaters finally caught the buzz about the film and have agreed to screen<br>
in 2 theaters, which were virtually impossible to secure before.<br>
<br>
South Africa had overflow capacity and booked additional screenings. Rishi<br>
from India, has reported our largest venue at 2,000 seats at Goa<br>
University. Malak, our Palestinian coordinator, will be screening at the<br>
Ebdaa' Institution at the Al-Dehesha Refugee Camp in the West Bank.<br>
Federico, the Italian coordinator, had arguably the biggest TV celebrity in<br>
Italy, Paolo Bonolis, attend the Rome screening and publicly express his<br>
love for ZMF. �He wants to dedicate an episode of his programme, "Il senso<br>
della vita", to the Zeitgeist Movement. His show reached up to 8 million<br>
viewers and is among the most watched in Italy. Dozens of broadcasting<br>
requests have come in for post Jan 25th television broadcast, as well as<br>
film festival interest.<br>
<br>
The Los Angeles premiere hosted by Artivist Film Festival on Jan. 15th was<br>
a big hit with a sell out crowd of 845! There was audience applause<br>
throughout the film and a standing ovation at the end. Michael Ruppert was<br>
in attendance and Lili Haydn, whose music was featured in parts of ZMF, as<br>
well as noteworthy progressives. LA's most popular independent radio<br>
station KPFK was filming the event and interviewed Peter and guests.<br>
Artivist filmed the Q & A with Peter and that will be available online<br>
soon.<br>
<br>
This has developed to possibly be the largest independent global theatrical<br>
premiere, covering the most languages, countries and locations. The movie<br>
and the movement are on the global radar now and your efforts are a huge<br>
part of this success!<br>
<br>
*INTERNET RELEASE:<br>
The Online Release is set for Jan. 25th but could happen sooner depending<br>
on the level of theatrical interest. This delay is to ensure that the<br>
non-profit events are sustained enough so the parties who have taken on the<br>
risk can hopefully make back their expenses. Any money obtained otherwise<br>
goes towards their Chapter's work - specifically ZDAY 2011<br>
<br>
*DVD RELEASE:<br>
The DVD release will occur in late Jan., including the free, full<br>
resolution, dual layer DVD Torrent download in 30 language subtitles.<br>
<br>
A 5$ DVD is also available from <a href="http://zeitgeistmovingforward.com" target="_blank">zeitgeistmovingforward.com</a> and is now<br>
available for Pre-Order:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://zeitgeistmovingforward.com/dvd" target="_blank">http://zeitgeistmovingforward.com/dvd</a><br>
<br>
Please note that while Peter offers his films for free online viewing and<br>
free download, with no restriction on non-sale duplication/distribution and<br>
free public display - he simply cannot continue creating such media unless<br>
some do, indeed, actually buy the DVD. So, please respect this if you care<br>
about the Zeitgeist Film Project. The DVD is a dual layer, 8 gig with the<br>
full 2 hour and 41 min film, in a standard, sealed case; offered for 75%<br>
less than the commercial price of most DVDs. This film cost over $200,000<br>
to create and if you want to see Zeitgeist IV (!), you will need to help<br>
him recover from this huge work.<br>
<br>
*PRESS/MEDIA:<br>
Please submit all photos, videos, press, local promotional materials and<br>
quotable statistics to <a href="mailto:zmf@thezeitgeistmovement.com">zmf@thezeitgeistmovement.com</a>. �We are going to<br>
compile all your materials into a virtual "scrapbook" to be posted on the<br>
ZMF site. At a glance, this will illustrate the reach and success of this<br>
film release. Once the premiere period ends Jan 25th and I get the final<br>
counts in, I will compile our potentially record-breaking numbers and post<br>
that information on the site.<br>
<br>
Have a look at the global map and see the span of locations ZMF is<br>
screening:<br>

Thank you all for your tremendous work in making this film such a global<br>
sensation- we are doing it!! :)<br>
