As we move into the new year, it is time to start a new list of blogathons. Maybe I will start breaking these out by year. Added as I find them. This is mostly for my own use, to keep track of them (even if after the fact), but I hope this is useful to people...

Great job weepingsam! I forgot about your page for the 2007 calendar. I took out the 2006 list of blogathons from the sidebar at Unspoken Cinema, but I archived it on a page, and linked to your site.
Thanks for your dedication. I hope to see you at the Contemplative blogathon. ;)
It's a challenge keeping up with them - I try... I'm looking forward to another go at the contemplative cinema - there's a lot of ideas there to explore. I'm in the middle of Bordwell's new book - his discussion of art cinema has interesting ramifications for thinking about CC, I think...
Very much appreciate your spreading the word on the Val Lewton blogathon, Weepingsam. Thank you. I've just announced the Kiyoshi Kurosawa blogathon for his birthday on July 19, 2008, if you want to add that to your files.
