Latin American Video Archives (LAVA) |
|||
| Most of our knowledge about Latin America comes from the U.S. mainstream media. The Latin American Video Archives Project (LAVA) is a collection of videotapes produced by independent media producers from Latin America--including artists, grassroots groups, and many others. Primarily produced for audiences in Latin America, the LAVA tapes provide a unique look at life in Latin America from the perspective of those who live there. The LAVA project was established at Ramapo College of New Jersey in 1986 through a Humanities grant awarded to Professor Pat Keeton in the School of Contemporary Arts. The tapes are available through the Potter Library at Ramapo (call number AC1.V6L3). Tapes can be purchased through the International Media Resource Exchange (IMRE) at http://www.latinamericanvideo.org. | |||

Beijing Journal Below are stills from a video report, Beijing Journal, which my husband, Peter Scheckner, and I made based on our experiences living in Beijing during the student democracy movement in China in spring, 1989. Beijing Journal aired on PBS, June 1989, as part of a series, The 90s. |

Beijing Journal (6 mins.) |
The first demonstration we saw occurred on April 25, when students marched past the Friendship Hotel where we were living. | Students were holding up this banner in English at Beijing University, a center for the student protests. | |

|
| At Beijing University people would come to record the writings on the huge wall posters into their tape recorders, a major means of communication during the student movement. | On May 17, 1989, the largest demonstration to date was held. Close to one million students and workers biked and marched to and from Tianannmen Square. | Three students, killed when the People's Army entered Tiananmen Square on June 4 were brought to the Law University, where many mourners came. | |

Lucia's Year of the Dragon Our family spent the 1988-1989 academic school year teaching at the Beijing Institute of Tourism. We taught courses in literature, "hearing and speaking," Western Studies, and composition. Our students were studying to work in the Tourism Industry. Our daughter, Lucia, age 6, attended Fang Cao Di School, a school for Chinese and international children. Below are some of the stills and video from her experiences as a first grader in China. |
