About

Media Burn is a nonprofit dedicated to video’s overlooked histories and its most fiercely independent voices, from the 1960s to today. Our mission is to create positive social change by amplifying underheard voices, both in contemporary dialogue and the historical record. Since its founding in 2003, Media Burn has saved more than 10,000 videos, which are available to watch and share for free on our website. Media Burn provides a home for the videomakers who provide an alternative to the mainstream of commercial media – fiercely independent voices, outsiders, and ordinary people. Media Burn features the extraordinary work of globally renowned artists and videomakers but also that of community members, students, and activists taking cameras into the streets to chronicle the people and the places most important to them.
