THE MINERS' CAMPAIGN TAPES
The Miners' Campaign Tapes, 1984, video, 92 mins. "The apotheosis of the 
populist avant-garde." - David E. James, "For a Working-Class Television" In 
1984, coal miners in the north of England began what would become a year-long 
nationwide strike and one of the largest mass actions in British labor history. 
Prompted by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's move to privatize the coal 
industry, the strike grew to involve over 140,000 miners, their wives and 
families, as well as a coalition of unions and other activist organizations. At 
the strike's beginnings, a network of young leftist film and video makers from 
across the UK met in London to determine how they could contribute support; the 
result was the Miners' Campaign Tape Project, whose members sprang into action 
to shoot and edit a series of agitational documentaries that could counter the 
anti-strike sentiment then prominent in the press. Produced quickly and 
cheaply, The Miners' Campaign Tapes include footage of protests
and clashes with the police, interviews with striking workers and their 
comrades, historical analyses, critiques of corporate media bias, and brief 
guides to organizing, punctuated by lo-fi graphics and propelled by dub and new 
wave pop. The National Union of Mineworkers distributed VHS cassettes of the 
Tapes free of charge, putting over 4,000 copies into circulation. These videos, 
in turn, were watched in working-class homes as a form of alternative 
television, and used for fundraising purposes both locally and abroad. The 
strike is described throughout as the last stand against authoritarian 
conservatism: if Thatcher is able to break the miners, it is repeatedly 
stressed, the loss would signal the 

[Frameworks] Article on the theory and practice of the audiovisual essay

[M.Witt]

Frameworkers with an interest in the theory and practice of the critical found 
footage audiovisual essay might like to know about this article I've just 
published in the features section of NECSUS: European Journal of Media Studies 
in which I take stock of my experience of? teaching audiovisual film criticism 
over the past twenty years:
http://www.necsus-ejms.org/taking-stock-two-decades-of-teaching-the-history-theory-and-practice-of-audiovisual-film-criticism/

The article focusses on a course I developed in 2002, Audiovisual Criticism, 
which sought to harne?ss the potential of the then emerging generation of 
non-linear digital editing software for the purposes of film analysis and 
criticism. This course has now been taken by approximately 600 students. The 
article is illustrated by 140 minutes of sample student audiovisual essay work 
organised into nine themed compilations.

I hope some of you might find this article useful.

Best wishes,

Michael Witt
