Welcome 2007
2006 has passed, 2007 is here, the year of Conflux 4!
We’re ready to throw ourselves into the organising of the con. In particular, work on the Regency Banquet is moving apace, with recipes being tested left, right and centre. If you’re interested in testing recipes, go to www.foodpast.com and have a chat to Conflux’s very own historian and culinary genius Gillian Polack. If, like me, your thoughts have already turned to your costume, look out for some links to some great sites, coming soon to the Conflux website.
The first progress report will be out later in the month, and it’s going to be a great read, with information, interviews and more. Make sure you don’t miss it. It will go up on the website in February.
And look out soon for announcements on the film festival and art show. Yep, Conflux will be the place to be in 2007.
Have a great year!
Nicole

If anyone wants to follow the testing and not have to hunt for the posts, I try to remember to collect them here: http://www.foodpast.com/category/recipe-tests/
And there will be more recipes for testing floating round for the next few months, so feel free to contact me if you want to try cooking something just a bit different.

Film Festival? Excellent! I was hoping the media stream would continue. Could the Media chair contact me, please? There have been significant changes in the situation as regards CBS/Paramount and Star Trek fan films in the States over the last year.
Cheers

Hi Kirok
We don’t have a Media chair as we’re not having a full media stream. However, if you want to pass on any information or thoughts for great media panels to me, I’ll make sure they’re considered.

That’s a shame, Mike did a good job last year. I assume that the same arrangement will be in force for fan films of copyrighted material as last year, that they can be shown as exhibition films?
As candidates for showing in the cinama, if the ground-work of permissions is to your satisfaction, I could get a half-dozen Star Trek fan films although I would go for the most notable - ST: New Voyages, ST: Hidden Frontier, Starship Exeter and ST: Of Gods and Men
In addition, Star Wreck has a new “Imperial” version that is not only covered by a creative commons but is being sold for profit in Scandinavia - Samuli and co have already said they would be pleased to have their film shown again.
I also have a lead on showing “Pitching Lucas” which won the critics and people’s choice at the last official Star Wars awards and possibly an online chat with the producer Shane Felux.
I am hoping to run a combined Star Trek table in the Dealers Room (Sci Fi Studios, TrekUnited, USS Southern Cross and friends) where we will be showing every Trek fan film currently available on a loop, plus (assuming internet availability) online chats with the producers and other Star Trek related exhibits.
I was amazed at the facilities at the NMA last year, the cinema is awesome and the dealers room looked like the right place for us to exhibit!

Rob Hood is organising the film festival this year, I’ll pass on your thoughts to him. It won’t necessarily be the same as last year, as Rob obviously has different thoughts and ideas to Michael.
Sorry to disappoint you, but we’re not at the NMA this year, so we won’t have access to their terrific facilities. The entire con will be based at Rydges Lakeside and we’re looking at the technology we need to showcase the films as best we can. However, we will be having the dealers room, I’ll send you the dealers information.
