Community Video, also sometimes known as radical or alternative video, street video or participatory video, refers to video practise in a community setting. This can be a geographical location or a community of interest, from the local to the global level. Projects can be in any form: local television, art production, YouTube-videos as part of social media use in campaigns and urban movements, drama work with young people, etc. Community Video activities are often developed in areas of social exclusion, with members of different communities coming together to express and communicate their concerns to themselves or a wider audience. Community Video normally involves, as facilitators or co-producers, filmmakers, professional artists or researchers with backgrounds in media and cultural studies, sociology, anthropology, oral history, or community development. For this panel on "Community Video - now and then" papers are invited to reflect on community video practice from its early days in the 1970s up to the present: how have ideas, collaborative methods, and social and economic conditions differed over the last twenty to forty years? What are the similarities over time? How has the development of the Web shaped these developments? What is the legacy of the Miners Campaign Tapes or the "scratch video movement" of the 80s in the UK and other projects of radical video interventions worldwide? How do practitioners today position themselves between community development, alternative media practice, participatory research and public art? And to what extent do community video and participatory video practitioners preserve their work and make it accessible to a wider audience through archives and the internet? We are also interested in contributions comparing community video with similar practises involving other visual media: photography, film, and television.
