Description

During the 1970s and 1980s, the independent community media and various youth movements across Europe inspired andabetted each other.

The young activists discovered the video tape as a medium and as a means to express their protestingmood and concerns.

The easily produced moving images in videos soon also became also a weapon in the political andcommunication fights for the autonomous culture spaces the movement demanded in many countries.

Videos were participativeproductions, done almost in real time and fast. This appropriation of video technology as means of two-way communication between sender and recipient also proved akey step towards the digital age.

Today, consumers, citizens, and professionals not only receive moving images and audiodocuments.

Anyone almost anywhere can produce and broadcast such pieces at no expense.

The young activist-directors ofthe 1970s and 1980s went beyond dreaming of such a development.

They explored it and experimented within small networks. 'Rebel Video' portrays protagonists of this activist movement in London, Basel, Berne, Lausanne, and Zurich.

It documents whattopics and concerns these creative rowdies picked-up and the lasting effect their work has until today.

Richly illustrated andcompleted with brief essays by expert authors on specific aspects of film documentary and video art, the book demonstratesand illuminates the significance and manifold facets of the community media movement.
