TEDtalk: Your body language shapes who you are

'Body language affects how others see us, but it may also change how we see ourselves.

Time: International broadcast begins at 8pm PDT, see below for specific venue schedules.

VFX Town Hall is presenting a night of independent discussion to answer some tough questions about the IATSE union on this Tuesday, June 25 at 8pm PDT. Following our panel presentation, we will have a Q&A session, fielding questions from attendants and internet viewers. Please join us for this open conversation, investigating the pros and cons of unions.

This event will concentrate on the specifics of the existing North American entertainment union, but will also offer a blueprint of topics for the international audience.

Attendants are encouraged to bring challenging questions and confirm what they've heard and read on the internet, from the smallest detail to the most sweeping proclamation.
