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.

Love, as described throughout the tapes, is not defined by any one singular meaning, but is instead contextualized by the variety of personal perspectives and experiences within this collection. Such interpretations of love explore lust, friendship, first love, and familial love. This selection consists of 32 edited tapes from 1978-2011. The Love Tapes project began in 1977 and is ongoing. -- <a href="https://www.vdb.org/titles/love-tapes">VDB</a><br /><br /><i>Love Tapes: Series 18</i> includes excerpts from the extensive <i>Love Tapes</i> series. Representing a cross-section of contemporary American culture — from prison inmates and disabled veterans to lovesick adolescents — the participants' anecdotes and confessionals reveal an eclectic range of personalities and psychologies. <i>Love Tapes</i> are personal, cathartic statements that illustrate the video camera's role as mirror, witness and voyeur — a vehicle for direct confrontation with the self. --<a href="https://www.eai.org/titles/love-tapes-series-18">EAI</a> the feature-length first entry in George Kuchar’s monumental Weather Diary series, which eventually spanned six parts and a slew of related supplementary works. Like much of Kuchar’s diaristic work, Weather Diary 1 is an utterly characteristic and deeply entertaining mix of the observational, the naked, the poetic, the uncomfortable, and the hilarious. Shot almost entirely in camera on Kuchar’s visit to Oklahoma in search of dramatic weather phenomenon, the video ultimately functions as a probing, idiosyncratic document of the humor, morbidity, and humanity of a “Bronx boy’s friendly, if somewhat freaky, foray into Americana”. --<a href="https://www.lafilmforum.org/archive/spring-2014-schedule/george-kuchar-s-weather-diary-1/">Los Angeles Film Forum</a><br /><br />George Kuchar was a legendary figure in the underground film scene. Raw and often outrageous, his low-tech video diaries chronicle an ongoing personal history. Kuchar's eccentric presence pervades these "home videos," which veer from the scatological to the sublime as they observe the banality and intimacy of the everyday. With perverse humor and melancholy, his video journals resonate with an unexpected poetry. --<a href="https://www.eai.org/artists/george-kuchar/titles">EAI</a> Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived EAI 1981; 1989 feminist Love Tapes/Weather Diary sexuality video video art Wendy Clarke/George Kucher woman filmmaker; gay
