Last summer, the Meridian Society was a partner organisation at the BBC Silk Screens event at Leicester Square on July 19th. The event featured video shorts made by members of the Chinese community around the UK. In case you didn't have the chance to see them on the day or would like to view them again, we're pleased to announce that the videos will be shown on the Community Channel over the Chinese New Year on the following specific dates and times: You can find the Community Channel on Sky 539 • Virgin TV 233 • Freeview 87 (6-9am) and you can watch some of the output also on their website and check for scheduling information etc. at http://www.communitychannel.org/ Please note these are the films which were shown on the Big Screens only, not films of the events which took place on the 19th July.
