Super ‘80s: Greatest Hits From VC’s Filmmakers Development Program

FREE PROGRAM

As a pioneer in small-format, community-based mediamaking during the 1980s, Visual Communications supported a new generation of emerging artists who lacked the access to a traditional film school program. The result, as seen in this program of works that included a major production produced beyond the classroom but with weighty things on its mind, was nervy, at times awkward, but full of spirit and vision.
– Abraham Ferrer
