What they do

PTTV IS RECOGNIZED INTERNATIONALLY FOR ITS CONTRIBUTION TO VIDEO ART, THEORY AND DOCUMENTARY TRADITION. PTTV PROGRAMS ANALYZE AND CRITIQUE ISSUES INVOLVING MEDIA, CULTURE AND POLITICS. MANY PROGRAMS EXAMINE A PARTICULAR ASPECT OF THE COMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY, FROM PRINT MEDIA TO TV TO MOVIES, LOOKING AT ITS IMPACT ON PUBLIC PERCEPTION AND OPINION. OTHER VIDEOS REPRESENT THE PEOPLE AND VIEWS WHICH ARE LARGELY ABSENT FROM THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA. THE GOAL OF OUR WORK IS TO PROVIDE VIEWERS WITH A CRITICAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE COMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY. WE BELIEVE THIS CRITICAL CONSCIOUSNESS IS A NECESSARY STEP TOWARDS MORE EQUITABLE AND DEMOCRATIC CONTROL OF INFORMATION RESOURCES. SINCE ITS FOUNDING, PTTV HAS EXPANDED ITS ACTIVITIES TO INCLUDE THE PRODUCTION OF ORIGINAL DOCUMENTARIES AND ACTIVIST VIDEOS, AND PROVIDING MEDIA LITERACY AND PRODUCTION TRAINING TO ACTIVISTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS.
