DeeDee
Halleck is a media activist and founder of Paper
Tiger Television and co-founder of the Deep
Dish Satellite Network. Her first film, "Children Make Movies"
(1961), was about a film-making project at the Lillian Wald Settlement
in Lower Manhattan. "Mural on Our Street" was nominated for Academy
Award in 1965. She has led media workshops with elementary school
children, reform school youth and migrant farmers. In 1976 she was
co-director of the Child-Made Film Symposium, which was a fifteen
year assessment of media by youth throughout the world.
As president
of the Association of Independent Video and Film Makers (AIVF) in
the seventies, she led a media reform campaign in Washington, testifying
twice before the House Sub-Committee on Telecommunication. She has
served as a trustee of the American Film Institute, Women Make Movies
and the Instructional Telecommunications Foundation. She has authored
numerous articles in Film Library Quarterly, Film Culture,
High Performance, The Independent, Leonardo,
Afterimage and other media journals.
In 1989
she received a Guggenheim Fellowship. She has organized installations
at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Austrian Triennial of
Photography, the Wexner Center, the Berkeley Museum, New Langdon
Arts and the Gallery at the San Francisco Art Institute. She received
two Rockefeller Media Fellowships for "The Gringo in Mañanaland,"
a feature film about stereotypes of Latin Americans in U.S. films,
which was featured at the Venice Film Festival, the London Film
Festival and which won a special jury prize at the Trieste Festival
for Latin American Film. She coordinated a twelve part series on
the prison industrial complex in the United States entitled, "Bars
and Stripes." She is one of the founders of the Independent Media
Center Movement, which has created alternative media centers in
thirty-eight cities around the world.
Her current
film project is "Ah: the Hopeful Pageantry of Bread and Puppet,"
a ten year document of the experimental theater group. She is on
the board of the Association of Independent Video and Filmmakers,
Deep Dish Network, the Independent Media Center and is a member
of the MacBride Roundtable on International Communication. Her book,
Hand Held Visions: the Uses of Community Media, will be published
by Fordham University Press in Spring 2001. She is currently developing
a national daily news program in collaboration with Deep Dish TV.
