What has worked with the 100 Second Festival screenings is having a 50/50
show. 50% or so of local videos and 50% aggregated content from elsewhere.
For us, it broke down into an 80 minute show of videos with a 15 minute
intermission. The balance - whatever ratio it breaks down for your
Finding videos probably isn't a challenge for those who would be interested

sort of FAQ/Tips on how to accomplish such an event:
1) What sort of venues might be interested in participating?

yeah see that's excellent info. I'd love to see people with this sort of
experience flesh out a FAQ on the wiki. Finding videos doesn't scare me
away from doing this, its not knowing what all I don't know. :-)

Echoing Jen's post on all counts- great observations and suggestions. The
context/aesthetics issue is a big one worthy of more discussion.
Two other thoughts come to mind:

Ironically, much of the canon of tha A-G film world that is now studied
academically arose from EXACTLY the conditions and ethics that you talk
about in your post, except that the A-G world WAS the backyard screenings on

yeah i've started thinking about doing screenings
where people actually read the blog post and project the page
and then play the video
so you get a sense of how one might actually navigate from video to video.
this would give people a better understanding of how people are

I was just thinking exactly this today - the playing of text on the
screen.
I've always loved how much you can do with a title to lead
expectations and inform people's experience of a film.
And I love how text before and/or after a film can bring out a whole
new experience of it.

As Cheryl describes, the Pixelodeon DVDs already exist. Is there any
chance they could be bittorrented, or put on SpinXpress, so they could
be downloaded burned? I'd love to screen them at the coffee shop!
Here's an idea: I can switch between the dvd and a laptop feed to the

Excellent post Jen.
I have been working on a repeating microcinema type event using vlog
videos. The one thing that you reminded me about in this post was
respecting the CC on any and all videos that would be included.

was somewhat cryptic--
When I talk about the recontextualizing of videos when they're shown

I see your point, Jay, but I wouldn't equate the
grant/installation/festival process with the academic world - these
are often very separate communities. I do agree that both of those
communities need to be more open to new work coming from new circles,
but vloggers need to do some of
