The mission of Wide Angle Books is to document,
chronicle, and honor those institutions that have worked effectively
to maintain a public presence and public spaces for alternative
forms of media. These books recognize that institutional support
of media happens at a variety of levels in a film series, in a video
distribution organization, in a transnational digital network, in
a grassroots production organization and in locations across the
globe. Individual volumes in the series focus on such forms of primary
documentation as letters, institutional records, and oral histories,
presented and contextualized by leading media history scholars. |
