portland indymedia video collective

The aim of the Portland Indymedia Video Collective is to utilize the medium of video to report on important events and issues in the Portland region and beyond. Members of the collective shoot, edit, distribute, and screen videos that document things happening in our community and the world, news that the corporate media cannot be trusted with to give the whole story.

In addition to the core collective's work, we encourage videomakers from the larger community to make available for our screenings any video work they have produced that covers recent events and issues.

If you know of an event that should be covered, contact us (as far in advance as possible).

Videos are available for download through the use of various peer-to-peer networks. There is a list of online videos as well as a guide to downloading and viewing.

The video collective presents several screenings each month around Portland, called Videos from the Resistance. Regular screenings happen, usually once a week, at one of these locations, and other places too:

Contact us if you're interested in setting up another screening.
There are also occasionally special screenings at the Clinton Street Theatre.
For details on all these screenings, check the calendar.

Copies of our videos are also available for showings elsewhere. We're also interested in screening videos of events happening outside of Portland, so get in touch if you'd like to send us something (again, just email us).

Doing this work requires a variety of supplies and eqiupment. We are gladly accepting the following:

  • blank tapes (miniDV or digital 8)
  • lights
  • external microphones
  • walkie talkies
  • camcorders and camcorder batteries
  • Firewire hard drives, DVD burners
