SUMMARY:The Art of Storytelling: Part 1
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to create and edit reels and other short form video for social media! Step your digital storytelling game up with BRWNGRLZ.\n\n\nBAVC Media is back with a second year of VERSED – a series of free and low cost media workshops taught by experienced and independent artists. \nWe’re excited to kick 2023 off with a two part workshop series on the art of digital storytelling taught by independent Bay Area artists\, Gretchen Carvajal (BRWNGRLZ) and Alex “Frak” Fraknoi. \nIn the first workshop\, you will learn how to create and edit engaging short form videos from reels to more experimental formats. Whether you’ve never made a short form video before or want to take your video skills to the next level\, this workshop is for you. If you’re an independent artist looking to share your craft\, a small business owner wanting to connect with new audiences\, or a social media manager at a nonprofit or company\, you will learn tips and tricks to help you create and edit more engaging and connected videos.  \nThis workshop will be taught by Gretchen Carvajal. Gretchen is a multidisciplinary artist from the Bay Area. As a 1.5 generation Filipina immigrant\, she turns to art to excavate different forms of language through poetry\, visual storytelling\, glass bending\, and adornment in order to tell stories that are universally accessible. An alumni of Youth Speaks SF and the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s First Wave Urban Arts Scholarship\, she was raised under the school of thought that positioned the poet as not only a witness\, but a historian of truth. Gretchen’s work has been seen in Vogue\, Spotify\, Variety Mag\, and Button poetry. When she’s not writing and performing\, you can catch her with her headphones on editing content or making earrings under her brand\, BRWNGRLZ.COM. \n– \nPlease note: If you have any access or support requirements in order to participate fully\, please email Isa at isanakazawa@bavc.org. The venue is accessible for people using wheelchairs and other mobility aids.

SUMMARY:Building the American Dream
DESCRIPTION:An intimate screening and discussion in the East Bay\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nFor those who cannot attend the San Francisco premiere at SF DocFest\, BAVC Media is hosting a second screening in Oakland in partnership with local advocacy groups in hopes that more people can have an early chance to see this timely and powerful film. \nCo-presented by StudioToBe and UC Berkeley’s Investigative Reporting Program along with local education and advocacy groups to be announced. \nDoors open at 7 for a reception and discussion before the film. \nAcross Texas\, an unstoppable construction boom drives urban sprawl and luxury high-rises.

Grieving their son\, a Mexican family campaigns for a life-and-death safety ordinance. A Salvadorian electrician couple owed thousands in back pay fights for their children’s future. A bereaved son battles to protect others from his family’s preventable tragedy. A story of courage\, resilience and community\, the film reveals shocking truths about the hardworking immigrants who build the American Dream\, from which they are excluded. \n“An eye-opener about the abuse of workers whose immigration status makes them victims.” – The Hollywood Reporter \n“Chelsea Hernandez tugs at our heartstrings and puts fuel to a fire of righteous anger.” –FilmThreat

SUMMARY:From Video Activism to Early Immersive Media
DESCRIPTION:Watch the evolution of video art and activism in the archives of early video pioneers\, The People’s Video Theater and Survival Arts Media\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nJoin us as we follow the story of early video collectives The People’s Video Theatre and Survival Arts Media through their archive of preserved analog video. From their roots as video activists to their mind-expanding experiments with video art and early immersive media performances\, the story of PVT and SAM is the story of early video’s growth into its own distinct form of expression and storytelling. \nThis event includes a screening and a Q&A session with former members of the collectives\, Howard Gutstadt and Ben Levine\, as well as NYU archivist Kelly Haydon. The entire stream will be recorded for future viewing. \n\nIn these 90 minutes you will…\n• Gain context for and learn the importance of archival footages \n• Understand the history of early video\, with emphasis on community impact \n• See remarkable footage from the archives \n\nBackground\nThe People’s Video Theater and its successor Survival Arts Media were pioneering video collectives active in New York State during the late 1960’s –1970’s. PVT-SAM along with the Videofreex\, Raindance and Global Village\, and individual artists defined analog video as a distinct creative medium as opposed to the independent filmmaking of the era. In February of 2020\, 10 terabytes of digital files restored at BAVC Media from analog tapes in the PVT-SAM archive were accessioned to the NYU Special Collections Library in Manhattan. The breadth of the early video archival content spans liberation movements–such as those organized by women\, LGBT communities and people with disabilities–downtown SOHO artists and culture\, video street theater\, environmental and health issues\, live immersive media performance\, electronic art works and the Artists Craftsman Anthology. \nIn March of 2020 Netflix premiered Crip Camp\, an deeply moving documentary film about the heroic personalities and collective struggles and fights involved in bringing rights to the disability community. This documentary contained a number of arresting images from archival video and film sources\, and among these were clips from Camp Jened\, a summer camp where teenagers with disabilities were given the opportunity to be themselves. In a beautiful twist of fate\, the Camp Jened footage was captured by members of PVT\, who were in the right place at the right time and were the right people to do it. Through their unique documentary methods the PVT members were able to capture the personalities and struggles of the camp goers\, and playback the video images allowing the teenagers to see their own images reproduced on television. \nThis event includes a screening of archival content from the PVT-SAM collective. Some of this material was used for Crip Camp\, while some of it hasn’t been seen by the public in over 40 years. After the screening there will be a Q&A session with former members of the collectives\, Howard Gutstadt and Ben Levine and NYU archivist Kelly Haydon. \n  \nAbout the Guest Speakers\nHoward Gutstadt and Ben Levine (People’s Video Theater – Survival Arts Media) \nHoward Gutstadt and Ben Levine were early members of People’s Video Theater in New York in the early 1970s. The collective traveled the region with their Sony PortaPak cameras\, playing back video for their subjects to facilitate discussion and participation in the storytelling process\, and documenting various counterculture and liberation movements. \nHoward Gutstadt and Ben Levine went on to co-found Survival Arts Media\, which explored the use of video in diverse areas including: improvisational street theater\, political activism\, artistic biography\, public access television\, and immersive multimedia performance. \nHoward relocated to Berkeley\, CA in 1978 to establish Digital Image Productions and work with Sony and Autodesk Corporations to develop software tools for artists. Today he lives in San Francisco\, CA\, where he is a consultant and educator focused on the intersection of contemporary arts and moving media technologies. \nIn 1976 Ben moved to Maine and founded the documentary and distance learning lab at the University of Maine In Augusta. He later became an independent producer of community education and social issue documentaries. Working within marginalized communities\, he adapted PVT/SAM’s community participation methods using video feedback\, founding Speaking Place in 2010 to document and revive endangered languages. \nKelly Haydon (NYU Elmer H. Bobst Library) \nKelly Haydon is the Audiovisual Archivist for Special Collections at New York University’s Elmer C. Bobst Library. Previously\, she was the Preservation Manager at Bay Area Video Coalition. She holds degrees from NYU’s Moving Image Archiving and Preservation Program (where she is also an adjunct professor) and School of Visual Arts. In addition to XFR Collective\, she is a volunteer archivist at Third World Newsreel. \n  \nTimeline\n➜ People’s Video Theater began in the early 1970’s as a group of documentarians using the first portable video recorders as a substitute for film in recording the lives and struggles of underrepresented communities and identities. \n➜ PVT Realized that they could videotape their subjects\, then playback the images to the subject could watch themselves on screen. This was the first time many of these people could see someone like themselves on television \n➜ Eventually the screenings moved from indoor theaters into the street\, where public closed-circuit television performances were held. Ordinary people could participate in performances and see themselves on screen as they were performing \n➜ PVT turned into Survival Arts Media as the members became interested in creative immersive multimedia experiences\, using synthesized and manipulated video signals in creative and artistic ways to create previously unimaginable visual imagery and textures. \n➜ 10 TB of footage from ½” Open Reel and U-matic audio cassettes was digitized through BAVC Media’s Preservation Access Program and will be held in NYU’s archive.
