From the Vault! Rochester Indymedia digs for content from the past
Primary tabs
In the spring of 2013, our old video channel host--Blip.tv--decided that our content didn't fit in with their new make-over of being the place to go for fictional video webseries. So, Rochester Indymedia was given a week to download all of our content before it would be deleted.
Needless to say, we got our content. Re-uploading it onto our YouTube.com channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/RochesterIndymedia) has been a much slower and tedious process.
On top of that, many of the people who have participated with the IMC over the years have content that was never published. This content comes in the forms of video, audio, written work, and still photography.
From the Vault! is a new type of feature where we can unearth some of our old and unpublished stuff and put it out there for our (new) audience. Other feature types we've used in the past and might be used in the future again are IndyTV (our interview show at Rochester Community Television) and Indymedia Uncut (a feature usually showcasing a lengthy interview or lecture).
Aside from letting folks know about the vault, we wanted to actually share some footage that has just been transfered to our Youtube.com video channel. (Mind you, we are not going to republish the hundreds of videos we've already uploaded to the channel.)
The first videos we wanted to highlight were shot by Al Brundage. Resident of Turtle Island and peace activist Jimmy Johnson gave a lecture titled From Disney to drone wars - Settler colonialism, militarism and empire in the United States and Israel at the Flying Squirrel in Rochester on March 21 2012. The lecture was followed by an hour of question and answer.

The second video we wanted to share from the vault was an interview conducted by Dawn "the Barefoot Host" Zuppelli and produced and shot by the Rochester Indymedia collective: Indy TV #22: Making Sense of Gaza: A conversation with Aunali Khaku and Imran Rafi.
