Letter to the Editor Inquiring About the 6th Orphan Film Symposium

Here is another type of Letter to the Editor you could consider writing to Walking Off the Big Apple:

Titania, Queen of Fairies
Fairyland Film Archive
Athens, Greece

Dear Walking Off the Big Apple,

Though I am a fairy and can actually fly, I enjoy a good walk and love your work. Say, some of us plan to be in New York City for the 6th Orphan Film Symposium on March 26-29, 2008. I am in charge of the overlooked moving images here, and I plan to bring several of Puck's home movies and Peaseblossom's experimental shorts to NYU. Our recently restored print of Theseus and Hippolyta's wedding is not to be missed! Many of the sprites have a particular interest in small-gauge formats.

As all the archivists, filmmakers, scholars, and moving image theorists in the fairy kingdom like to plan in advance, we would appreciate any additional hotel recommendations you may have. We hear New York is expensive, and as fairies, we're in an awkward position as we have no currency to trade. We just need a few rooms, as many of our group prefer to stay in a forest.

Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,
Titiana

P.S. Oh, I almost forgot Home Movie Day tomorrow, Saturday, August 11. Nick Bottom did a spot for our imaginary location on the local TV.

Reply: Thanks, Titania! I will certainly post more hotel recommendations in the days ahead. See here for two hotels.
