[imc-auckland-video] Trouble finding the "right things" to screen as short item at Antodote 9

[anthony downs]

Sounds like the program is coming together. I can look in to bobo's 
stuff if we still need it.

I was actually just wondering if there was a more recent copy of the 
newsreel project as the one we previewed the other night was from 
december last year?

Cheers
Ant
