The works distributed by Media Burn cover many topics, but they share important qualities: all were produced by independent videomakers outside of corporate contexts; they engage with the issues and concerns of ordinary people, locally, nationally, and globally; they teach us about the world and our common humanity; and they demonstrate artistry, skill, and creativity in the art of videomaking. They encompass many genres, from documentary to animation to narrative, but they all share a spirit of innovation and creativity that sets them apart.

Go to mediaburn.org to view nearly 1,000 full-length programs, read historical info, download related ephemera like programs and contemporary reviews, and be a part of what we do.

Media Burn is partially supported by the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency; the Community Arts Assistance Program from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs; the National Historical Publications and Records Commission; the Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation; and many other generous supporters.
