Open Screening @ Artists Television Access

Editor’s Pick

“I’ve never been to one of these monthly events but this promises to be wild: the community is welcomed to bring their works to be screened at ATA monthly (on Digital file (PC or Mac), DVD, miniDV/DV-cam, VHS, beta, 8 mm, and 16 mm!) What’ll wash up? Like an open mic night, expect a mix of great and possibly some not so great submissions, nothing overstaying its welcome as everything must be under 15 minutes. ATA has long been a bastion of independent, underground media, and it doesn’t get more underground than this.”

-Aaron Harbour
