During the 1970s and 1980s, the independent community media and
various youth movements across Europe inspired and abetted each
other. The young activists discovered the video tape as a medium
and as a means to express their protesting mood and concerns. The
easily produced moving images in videos soon also became also a
weapon in the political and communication fights for the autonomous
culture spaces the movement demanded in many countries. Videos were
participative productions, done almost in real time and fast. This
appropriation of video technology as means of two-way communication
between sender and recipient also proved a key step towards the
digital age. Today, consumers, citizens, and professionals not only
receive moving images and audio documents. Anyone almost anywhere
can produce and broadcast such pieces at no expense. The young
activist-directors of the 1970s and 1980s went beyond dreaming of
such a development. They explored it and experimented within small
networks. 'Rebel Video' portrays protagonists of this activist
movement in London, Basel, Berne, Lausanne, and Zurich. It
documents what topics and concerns these creative rowdies picked-up
and the lasting effect their work has until today. Richly
illustrated and completed with brief essays by expert authors on
specific aspects of film documentary and video art, the book
demonstrates and illuminates the significance and manifold facets
of the community media movement.
