Paper Tiger Television Collective, a New York based public access producers' group known for their imaginative and low-tech media critiques, in conjunction with the Boston Film and Video Foundation, produced the pilot series of Deep Dish TV in 1985-86. Each program was made up of excerpts from tapes made by community TV producers from around the country. The series was offered free of charge to access stations that wanted to record it off the satellite. The Paper Tiger collective formed ten production teams including some people who were new- comers to access production. Over 186 stations down-linked the first series.
One of the shows from this groundbreaking series was "That's Women's Work: TV by and about Women." Women's work in public access exposes viewers to alternative images of women's lives and helps audiences see how insidiously sexist most network TV is. This show includes work from three women's cable groups: Videowomen in Pittsburgh, Women's Video Collective in Boston and The Women's Cable Consortium in Tucson. (58:00)
Produced by Martha Wallner and Adriene Jenik (NY, NY)
