<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "palatino"; font-size: 9.0pt;">DeeDee Halleck is an award-winning media
activist, educator, and independent filmmaker. From her work with Shirley
Clarke’s TP Video Space Troupe, to co-founding Paper Tiger Television, the Deep
Dish Satellite Network and helping to build the Indymedia movement—Halleck has
subversively (and playfully) deployed media tools to critique the corporate
landscape for the past 50 years. Halleck’s archive is an unparalleled resource
on alternative media arts and culture and would be a valuable asset to scholars
looking to historicize the uses of analog and digital technologies (film,
video, internet, and social media platforms) both as experimental art forms and
politically-engaged media for social movements, citizen-journalism, and
critical pedagogy. </span><span style="font-size: 9.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "palatino"; font-size: 9.0pt;">The materials in this collection embody
Halleck’s individual artistic achievements, as well as those of the networks of
socially engaged artists and citizen journalists she was part of. Halleck has been
a longtime participant in numerous campaigns and movements to challenge
corporate media control<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">—</b>from the
cable access movement, projects promoting the cultural exchange of community
media-makers worldwide, and with the establishment of alternative media centers
following the counter-globalization movement. This work reflects a vast legacy
of creatively disrupting the dominant paradigm of media production through
collective interventions. </span><span style="font-size: 9.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "palatino"; font-size: 9.0pt;">Early in her career as an educator, Halleck
was at the forefront of the media literacy movement. In 1961 she recorded these
early efforts in the first film documenting youth media, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Children Make Movies</i>, at Lillian Wald Recreation Rooms and
Settlement. The film was screened at the 1962 UNESCO symposium, and was recognized
by media theorist Marshall McLuhan as pioneering work. The use of filmmaking as
a tool for youth empowerment is exemplified in the collection’s 16mm and super
8mm films produced in workshops taught by Halleck, which include the Henry Street
Settlement Film Club (1962-1966) and a film program for incarcerated teens at
the Otisville School for Boys (1968-1972)<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">.
</b>The archive also includes essays written about these experiences which were
published in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Film Culture </i>and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Film</i> <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Library
Quarterly</i>. Her film made in 1964 about a community mural project at Henry
Street (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Mural on Our Street</i>) was
nominated for an Academy Award in Documentary Short Subjects in 1965.</span><span style="font-size: 9.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "palatino"; font-size: 9.0pt;">In the 1970’s Halleck was part of an eclectic
cohort of artists groups who facilitated playful media experiments outside the
spaces of traditional arts institutions. The diary she kept while working on
the artist Robert Frank’s film <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Keep Busy </i>(1975)
exemplifies her experiences from this period through a series intimate and
often humorous reflections. The archive also contains flyers from Shirley
Clarke’s Teepee Video Space Troupe’s happenings, photos of the Videofreex’s
pirate television broadcasts, collaborations with Richard Serra, Nancy Holt,
Liza Bear, and Joan Jonas, and films from the community-based arts organization
Live Arts (Middletown, NY) which Halleck co-founded. Through these artistic
endeavors, Halleck and her collaborators ushered forth a new era of
participatory media production.</span><span style="font-size: 9.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "palatino"; font-size: 9.0pt;">Beyond a ‘guerrilla’ aesthetic—Halleck’s work
reflects a deep commitment to creating and participating in socially engaged
work. The archive contains documents, stills, and audiovisual materials from
over 30 films she directed in addition to numerous television productions.
Halleck was a steadfast documentarian of the Bread and Puppet Theater, and
created several films from footage of their<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">
</b>annual circus festivals. The archive also contains extensive research and
rare materials from Halleck’s decade-long project examining the history of
Latin American stereotypes in US media from 1898-1945. The film she created
from this work, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Gringo in Mañanaland</i>
was the target of the first censorship of NEA media funding in 1983 and the
archive contains legal documentation and correspondence from the case. The
finished film was selected for several international film festivals, including
The Venice Film Festival, The London Film Festival and the Trieste Festival on
Latin America.</span><span style="font-size: 9.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "palatino"; font-size: 9.0pt;">Halleck’s activism and media production
focused notably on political issues in Latin America in the 80’s, and gross
misrepresentation in mainstream media. The materials in the archive are of
great value as they exemplify alternative perspectives on topics including the
revolution in Nicaragua, and the history of Haiti’s political economy. The
archive also includes a vast array of materials from Halleck’s solidarity work,
including posters and publications produced under the Sandinista government. It
includes many audiovisual materials from the region, such as materials prepared
for X-Change TV, a group that collected and translated videos from El Salvador,
Guatemala, Nicaragua and Mexico for distribution to community access channels
throughout the United States. </span><span style="font-size: 9.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "palatino"; font-size: 9.0pt;">The archive reveals myriad unsung histories
of activists and artists creating community-driven alternatives to mainstream
media. In 1981, Halleck founded Paper Tiger Television, a groundbreaking
innovation in video art and public access television which presented a critical
view of mass media with a handmade, irreverent aesthetic. The archive contains
videorecordings, organizational papers, and documentation of their
installations in galleries and museums. In addition, Halleck also co-created
Deep Dish Television in 1986, the first grassroots satellite and cable
television production and distribution network for independent media-makers,
artists, and activists. Halleck’s work has been instrumental for citizen
journalists documenting grassroots social movements. The archive contains
extensive materials from seminal projects—the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Gulf Crisis TV Project </i>(a distribution platform for media
protesting against the first Gulf War), and the first television broadcasts of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Democracy Now</i> with Amy Goodman. Halleck
was the initiator of the first year of Democracy Now TV, turning what had been
a radio program into an important international source for daily news.</span><span style="font-size: 9.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "palatino"; font-size: 9.0pt;">The collection significantly documents
struggles for media democracy and reform within the US. One pivotal campaign
which is represented is the fight to increase support and channel space for
independent video and film on public television, the legacy of which is
illustrated by the inclusion of programming such as <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Independent Lens</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">POV</i>
today. As President of the Association of Independent Video and Film Makers
(AIVF) in the 1970’s, Halleck led this campaign in Washington, testifying twice
before the House Sub-Committee on Telecommunication. There is extensive
documentation of organizations such as the Coalition to Make Public Television
Public which spearheaded the Coalition for Public Broadcasting campaign. The
archive also contains material from the cable access television movement,
struggles to insure public interest set-asides for Direct Broadcast Satellite
(DBS) and low power radio. These struggles fundamentally altered the media
landscape, enabling the broadcast of media made by independent producers,
citizen journalists, and university students.</span><span style="font-size: 9.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="normal">

<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "palatino"; font-size: 9.0pt;">The materials in the archive epitomize
Halleck’s involvement in media reform and community media on an international
level. There are documents, ephemera, audiovisual materials, and photos from
her workshops at alternative media centers around the world, which include
several trips to Nicaragua (1983-2000) where Halleck worked with the
Communication Office of the Ministry of Agriculture (MIDINRA) to train and
assist video makers in creating educational video. She presented workshops in
Japan, Mexico, Korea, Brazil, Cuba, Colombia, Spain, Netherlands, Germany,
Austria, the UK and Ireland. There is also extensive correspondence and
documentation from Halleck’s leadership in international organizations—such as
Videazimut, a federation of community and independent television—and from her
participation in gatherings including the World Summit on the Information
Society and more recently ICANN (The Internet Corporation of Assigned Names and
Numbers) where she has been an active member of the Non-Commercial Users
Constituency. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Significantly, the archive
contains materials documenting the formation of “Indymedia”--independent media
centers—participatory networks of citizen journalists--which formed
internationally after the protests against the WTO in Seattle in 1999.</span><span style="font-size: 9.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="normal">

<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "palatino"; font-size: 9.0pt;">The collection signifies Halleck’s
substantial contributions to media scholarship. She held a Full Professor
position at the University of California for 17 years, where she specialized in
alternative media and Latin American cinema. The archive includes syllabi and comprehensive
materials she compiled for her courses, as well as the work of her students,
many of whom went on to make their own scholarly contributions. The collection
also contains documents from her collaborations with student activists
including the Burn Website (1993), one of the first uses of an early
pre-internet browser (Mosaic) for social issue activism and radical imagery.
The archive holds numerous articles and essays about alternative media Halleck
authored during her tenure, as well as writings compiled in her book <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hand Held Visions: the Impossible
Possibilities of Community Media </i>(Fordham University Press).</span><span style="font-size: 9.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "palatino"; font-size: 9.0pt;">DeeDee Halleck’s body of work occupies a
unique place between art and activism. She has achieved recognition and acclaim
for her contributions including four awards for lifetime achievement: an Indy
from the Association of Independent Video and Filmmakers, The George Stoney Award
from the Alliance for Community Media; The Lifetime Achievement Award of the
National Alliance for Media Arts and Culture (NAMAC), and the Dallas Smythe
Award from the Union for Democratic Communication, 2008.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Traversing the artistic avant-garde, her
archive essentially charts a complex and critical narrative of networks of
communication, from the 1960’s to the present which fully present the depth and
breadth of community media history and the cultures of social movements
globally and within the United States. </span><span style="font-size: 9.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">Network Initiatives:
Planning and Dreaming of a Network for Independent Media<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is a collection of proposals and ephemera from several initiatives
that Halleck was closely involved with for creating new sources of programming
for US television.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Artists and activists
had long chafed at the spread of corporate media, (and that includes PBS), making
it difficult for other points of view and more adventurous creative forms to be
seen on broadcast television. Halleck was an active leader in many efforts to
create independent infrastructure that would distribute alternative media to a
wide public. This box is a collection of records of those efforts.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">In June 1976, DeeDee Halleck was part of a group of video
activists to document the Democratic Convention in NYC live on cable access.
Video makers included the Videofreex, Tom Weinberg, Eddie Becker, Maxie Cohen,
Joel Gold and many others. The 5 nights (@ 3 hour programs) were called The 5
Day Bicycle Race. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">This effort was considered a successful use of cable
resources to show independent views of a national event—the Democratic and
Republican Conventions. The group also created a 3 hour program on election night
in November, entitled Mock Turtle Soup. Although a program on local cable
channel, it included media makers from across the US and was seen as a test of
collaborative television for possible national transmission in the future.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The name Image Union and the varying formats of independent
media became the a weekly show on Chicago,’s WTTW, now recognized as the
longest running independent media series on public television.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
