Paper Tiger Reads Paper Tiger-Extended Cut from Papertiger TV on Vimeo.

Paper Tiger Television (PPTV) is a group of video artists, activists and scholars that originally came together in the early eighties to pioneer a public access show that engaged in thoughtful, highly inventive media criticism. On almost zero budget, the group used marker-drawn sets and an improvisational style to critique the slick production values of the corporate media that dominated the airwaves. Paper Tiger Reads Paper Tiger Television captures a history of the media activist collective and includes rare clips from the public access show and interviews with founding members such as DeeDee Halleck. If you scroll forward to 21:06, you'll catch NAMAC Blogger Patricia Zimmermann "reading" Variety. Learn more about what PPTV is up to these days by visiting their website: http://papertiger.org/.
