                  <text>VHS Activism is based on collections of VHS tapes linked to themes like AIDS and Activism. Over the course of her career, Prof. Alexandra Juhasz collected hundreds of VHS tapes by film artists out of the mainstream of cinema. In some cases, these films are not commercially available. This collection is designed to bring together the digitizations of the tapes themselves with student-driven annotations, as well as records and references in other media, such as reviews, websites, and study guides. This project is part of the OER Pilot Project at Brooklyn College.</text>

I write about him and them in an early essay on AIDS video, "So Many Alternatives." On a quirky, you can't make this up note. I had been trying to get permission to digitize their amazing tapes for several years, but my emails weren't reaching the project's producer. I sat next to him on a plane, and he granted permission then and there.</text>
