Day Two was hosted by KQED - in the morning we invited the Producer’s Institute participants and a few other noncommercial media arts orgs and producers to attend the awesome panel discussion “NEW MEDIA/NEW MEANING: Multi-Platform Technology, New Media Innovation, and Documentary Storytelling” moderated by Scott Kirsner of Cinema Tech. Check out what he had to say about the discussion.
The panel was great, very interactive, and the podcast will be available soon. (more…)

We are transferring a large number of tapes from The Kitchen’s archive. The Kitchen is a non-profit performance and media arts organization dedicated to providing artists opportunities to create and show new work. It was founded in 1971 and continues to grow to this date. BAVC has been preserving parts of The Kitchen’s archives for several years. Artists we have seen on these tapes include Laurie Anderson, The Talking Heads, Fab Five Freddy and the Rock Steady Crew and many others.
One highlight from this shipment is jazz composer and saxophone player, Julius Hemphill performing “Ralph Ellison’s Long Tongue”. Ralph Ellison was an African American author best known for his excellent book, “Invisible Man”.
Here are some informative links about Julius Hemphill:
