Organizing/ Filmmaking/ Archiving: Films from the Third World Newsreel Archives will present rarely seen and recently preserved 16mm films made by the Newsreel and early Third World Newsreel. The Newsreel, founded in 1968 as an activist film collective, produced films documenting radical social movements of the late 1960s and early 1970s, including the Black Panthers and the Young Lords, the anti-Vietnam war movement, the second wave Women’s Movement, national liberation movements overseas, and community based efforts to fight for equitable housing, health, and education in New York city and beyond. In the early 1970s, Newsreel became Third World Newsreel, which continues to produce, distribute and train in social issue media, while working to preserve its historic collection of films.
