About
Red Channels is an open collective. We have weekly meetings where we discuss and plan for upcoming events and projects. If you would like to come to one, to learn more about what we do, and find ways to collaborate, please write to collective[at]redchannels.org
We have organized screenings and discussions at spaces like Anthology Film Archives, BAMcinematek, Bluestockings, The Brecht Forum, e-flux, Flux Factory, Maysles Cinema, 92Y-Tribeca, OKK/Raum29, 16Beaver, Spectacle Theater, and UnionDocs. In 2011 we traveled to Berlin, Chicago, and San Francisco.
The collective has produced 8 short videos, as well as 5 publications, both in print and online, of collected and original writings. Our work has been screened at B_Books, The Brecht Forum, Brooklyn Community Access Television, Flux Factory, International House Philadelphia, Manhattan Neighborhood Network, MassArt, MoMA PS1, New Nothing Cinema, 92Y-Tribeca, Philadelphia Community Access Media, La Plaza Cultural de Armando Perez, Spectacle Theater, and West Germany.
