During this 2 weeks, we have started to advertise the whole film festival in a few main Chinese quarters in Sydney, such as burwood, chatwood, strathfild, hursville. The work was so simple but repeated. The volunteers have to put up the posters and distribute flyers nearby Chinese shop, restaurant, market etc. I'm sure the information of film festival have been broadcasted on TV, radio and published on the magazine, newspaper. We will also be hanging the flags of film festival around the city just ahead of opening ceremony day. So poster and flyer are the most basic way to make public to know what is going on. We assigned 7 groups to the different districts we were planning to finish all the works in 2 weeks.
When I assigned the flyers to the passers-by, most of them were nice and kept it, but some others were not kind to us. They got it but thrown it away when we left. That was really uncomfortable. If you don't want it, just refused at first. That still reminded me of taking flyers from other people. If you received it kindly, that will be the biggest respect for the people who's working.
In the meantime, we still have other stuffs to do, like chose the ceremony site and dinner restaurant, arrange the hotel for the guests who will come from China. Besides, the place of the media conference and film forum. We chose one theatre in UTS to be our film forum room and UTS also was one of the sponsors. From all the work, I realized that there will be various of work to be prepared behind the every event or festival. Maybe we can only see the superior views and shining star in front of red carpet, which is all relied on the hard-working staffs and volunteers. We should give applauds for ourself as one of the members in the event.
