With media production technologies changing rapidly, our community is overdue for a retrospective of the productions and visions created and expressed locally over the years. Community Vault will showcase these archived programs alongside contemporary media work and will create a dialogue between the past and the present, asking “What has changed?” and “What has stayed the same?”. We envision surprising and revealing juxtapositions in screening the past beside the present.
Participating Community Media Centers that have submitted to both the ARCHIVE and CONTEMPORARY categories include Northampton Community Television, Cambridge Community Television, Somerville Community Access Television, Ashland Community Television, Easton Community Television and Stoughton Community Television. These productions will be curated into the Community Vault screening on Saturday June 20 in Somerville at the Davis Square Theatre. Works may be screened either in full or in excerpt depending on length.
