Video Mundi Program 5 Thursday, April 22 6:30pm at the Chicago Cultural
Center Despite a bad media rap, Buffalo, New York is home to a burgeoning and often unacknowledged d.i.y. media arts scene. Squeaky Wheel has been at the center of the city's independent media arts community and has been an indispensable resource for over fifteen years. A media access center by day, a screening and performance space by night, Squeaky Wheel offers film and video equipment rentals, educational workshops, produces a cable access show, publishes a magazine, provides residency programs, and offers a screening space for both local and traveling media artists. Contrary to making a squeak, squeaking by, or squeaking along, the works in "We're Not Dead Yet" demand the grease! This collection of film and video work made in the last 4 years by people active at Squeaky Wheel explore issues and aesthetics in new ways that reflect the dynamic and critical media arts community of the city.
