Many of these will be provided by well-known scholars and professors, allowing an avenue for many to publish their work and ideas. What will be created is an interactive environment where the user can be immersed in, and learn about a culture as close as possible without actually being there. The web page will serve as living entity on the Internet and will contain glimpses of the media from the CD-ROM and the film. It will serve as an avenue of communication and distribution to interested people worldwide. It will contain general information about the project, updated information related to the festival and an avenue for scholars, researchers and anyone else who may want to publish and present their work or ideas to the world.
Media can be uploaded and people can have their own images, video, or audio placed on the web.
Users of the CD or film will also be able to communicate with us, provide feedback, or share their own experiences. In addition it will act as a database and network of people who may share similar interests. We will market the film and CD together as a high-impact educational package. We plan to distribute the film and CD to educational institutions, museums and galleries, cultural and religious organizations, festivals, public television, theaters as well as the world music market. The uniqueness of the festival and the originality of the formats our media will be presented in will create great interest in various markets.
