Single Channel VT Video Festival
Burlington, Vermont, USA
broken compass - land ho
We are thinking about visibility, vantage points and our mutualistic relationships to place: seeing and being seen within and through the reverberations of shifting worlds. Pressed against the earth, what’s under your nose? Breathe it in. Draw from memory one end to the next.
Is to be unknowable, to be free?
What would the notion of discovery look like freed from its extractive, violent history?
Where could nomadic movement guided by difference, ambiguity, and detours lead us?
Can we imagine and be in relation with what we can’t fix by name?
We are thinking about land.

Single Channel VT explores the moving image and time based media through a series of ongoing collaborative viewings and discussions. Artist curated screenings are presented quarterly throughout the year highlighting the history, practitioners, and genres of the moving image and time based media. Our thematic video festival is held annually.
Single Channel VT recognizes that it occupies the unceded lands of the Abnaki, Mahican, Pennacook and other indigenous peoples. We also recognize that many existing systems of power, including arts organizations, grant privilege and access unequally. We seek to engage with artists and their work without regard to, and with respect of, their race, class, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, gender identity & expression, geography, citizenship status, religion and mental or physical ability.
Single Channel is a project of the Artist collaborative Snakehouse.
