PROGRAMME
screening & talk by Ryan Conrad in collaboration with la lumière collective
The Maine Video Activists Network (MVAN) was a monthly video newsreel produced by activists throughout the state of Maine from 2006 to 2010. It was an extension of the Indymedia movement, in which grassroots organizers and average citizens produce their own media content and distributed it through non-commercial avenues such as the internet platforms, public-access television, print, and community radio. Maine Indymedia was founded on the Maine/Quebec border during the April 2001 Summit of the America’s demonstrations in Quebec City in order to relay coverage of the events back to Mainers. MVAN was co-founded a few years later by Lewiston, Maine-based video activists Craig Saddlemire and Ryan Conrad. The program received regular contributions from other media makers based in Biddeford, Freeport, Portland, and Madison. MVAN was an entirely volunteer-run and the show consistently aired more than 40 monthly episodes online with Democracy Player and through 16 Maine public-access television stations covering most of the state’s inhabited areas.
