  • 1 2 3 4: A Position Statement on Upstate Media Development Bibliography

    Position paper to the New York State Council on the Arts arguing that Upstate New York’s media arts environment differs from New York City and requires targeted State support; it links regional isolation, access to camcorders and editing equipment, and public access cable with cultural heterogeneity and development. The paper proposes a dedicated NYSCA Upstate Media funding category with initiatives including entry-level publications, equipment redistribution, artists’ residencies, small-scale public access TV, organizational development, video rental libraries, micro-grants ($200–500), and encouragement of entry-level videomaking. It also recommends a one-person NYSCA satellite office in Buffalo, Rochester, Binghamton, or Syracuse and expanded Media Bureau travel guidelines to support intra-State conferences and visiting-artist programs.

  • Media Ithaca: Description of Programs (1997, 1998) Groups

    Media Ithaca was formed after an Upstate Media Conference in Ithaca in spring 1987 and operated as a community forum to encourage independent media work; NYSCA supported a Coordinator for the Central New York Programmers Group and the office was housed at Ithaca College. The organization was initially a program of Cornell Cinema in 1988 and received support and services from Ithaca College School of Communications. In the early 1990s it awarded small grants (program begun 1991), organized a summer Film and Video Festival (begun 1990), hosted workshops including an Amiga workshop, and presented screenings and discussions by Cheryl Dunye, Craig Baldwin and Wilhelm Hein; leadership changes occurred in 1993–1994 and Media Ithaca was disbanded in 1994, with the Regrant program administered by Cornell Cinema.
