So What? A Cinematic Tour of Philosophy

Author: 
Arlene Goldbard
So many of us want to make things better: the world, our lives, the lives of others. Some are driven by a vision; if not the lion and lamb cuddling up together, at least a greater harmony and wholeness.

Arlene Goldbard
Media artists share with their counterparts in other fields the huge task of moving public opinion on culture's social value. It's been a long tunnel, but every now and then, there's a glimpse of light.

What does CommonWealth look like?

By Donna Choi

Just came out of Friday's opening plenary with some interesting discussion on the meaning of Commonwealth and collaborative work.  The plenary, moderated by Valerie Linson of WGBH and led by discussants Kristina Newman-Scott, David Bollier, and Tamara Gould, explored varying and evolving manifestations of Commonwealth-- from the new digital commons via the Internet and Web 2.0 to the move away from purely broadcast to a multiplicity of communication outlets.

Sharing the Wealth - by Wendy Levy, Director of Creative Programming at Bay Area Video Coalition

I’m heading to Boston on Wednesday for an industry conference called Commonwealth. The conference, co-hosted by the National Alliance for Media Arts and Culture (NAMAC) and the Center for Independent Documentary, is a place where community media centers, national media arts organizations, university educators, museum presenters, film festivals and archives, youth media programs, public access television stations, national arts policy think tanks, and related groups come together to assess the state of the field, share resources and best practices, inspire each other, build relationships to benefit local neighborhoods, national movements, and global communities.

NAMAC in Boston - by James Nadeau of Big RED & Shiny

When I first read about this I was pretty skeptical, "of great another conference that purports to think about media and the future," yet as I look through the program I am genuinely curious. And for a bitter person like me, that is saying something.
