What has worked with the 100 Second Festival screenings is having a 50/50 show. 50% or so of local videos and 50% aggregated content from elsewhere. For us, it broke down into an 80 minute show of videos with a 15 minute intermission. The balance - whatever ratio it breaks down for your Pixelodeon screening - both empowers your local community by putting their work to the big screen and inspires them with works they might have never seen before (like this gem from blip - http://blip.tv/file/175106).
