Three years ago, CAMP co-initiated the online footage archive PAD.MA.
This was a specific proposal for how video material could exist and be
“thrown forth” beyond the limits of the filmmaking economy, and differently from
YouTube. Now containing several hundred hours of densely annotated,
transcribed, and open-access footage, PAD.MA poses many questions for
digital archiving, film, and online video. It also seeds a set of
possibilities and practices around footage, distribution, screening,
referencing, and writing through video. Its implications for the contexts of
art, documentary, and theory will be the subject of this presentation.
