Session Abstract
A special presentation of selected historic videos from the landmark New York Women's Video Festival (held 1972-1980); these videos, most of which have not been seen for decades, include Videofreex member Nancy Cain’s Harriet, Susan Milano's Tattoo and Christine Noschese's Women of Northside Fight Back.
Q and A with Susan Milano following the Saturday screenings. Susan Milano’s introduction to video coincided with the birth of portable technology, making documentaries, and then creating video environments and sculptures. She started the Women’s Video Festival to provide a platform for other women like herself, who had little or no entrée to work in production.
