Hi colleagues:

Still not certain how or even if people share their grad classes within and across CUNY but this is a pretty special one, building out from the GC Center for the Humanities working group: VHS Archives.
The class will be co-taught by Jenn McCoy from the Art Dept at Brooklyn College and me, Screen Studies at Brooklyn College.

7032G: Special Topics in Film History

VHS Archives considers how to store, transfer, share, research, and reactivate media collections facing obsolescence Theories and practices of media and digital archives and queer and feminist media will undergird close interaction with 12 VHS AIDS activist videotapes focusing on women and sexuality, a digitized corpus from which students will research and build new resources, including original interviews, writing about historical context, media analysis, community-based and interactive media programming, and creative praxis.

It will also have MFA students from PIMA (Performance, and Interactive Media Arts): students will enroll as a PIMA class as well.
It will take place at Feirstein School of Cinema at Steiner Studios on Thursday afternoons.
Could you all pass on the word to potential interested students at the GC or other CUNY campuses working on these topics?
The class will have a community-based component working with Visual AIDS and the AIDS activist group Vocal NY.

Alex
