Digital video, circulated among
communities, friends and the Internet
at large, is becoming one of the
primary ways we tell stories about
ourselves, our interests, opinions and
passions. The videos we find online
are as varied as the conversations
we have in our everyday lives, but
there are also themes, techniques,
and shared source materials that tie
together diverse genres of DIY
video.
Our Featured Screening program
opens with a video telling of the
threads and commonalities that
have emerged from our viewing of
DIY video in different genres. Curated
through a collective process that
tapped the intelligence of our
curatorial and conference committee,
we trace the "meta" context that
frames what we see as a new
golden age in DIY video production.
The program is organized as
segments that feature video and
response, the use of common
source material, shared topics, and
shared techniques in different forms
of DIY video.
Part Two of our Featured Screening program features videos
that stood out among the thousands
that we viewed as part of our
curatorial process as the most
outstanding and compelling DIY
video works. Sit back, enjoy, and be
inspired to do it yourself.
