For 22 years the Video Association of Dallas has provided access to insightful and forward-looking, cutting edge media. From its beginnings, the Dallas Video Festival focused on championing the democratization of media through spreading the gospel of affordable video technology. Bart Weiss, area coordinator of the film/video program at UT Arlington, was ahead of the curve in 1987, opening one of the first U.S. video festivals. (D Magazine article on the Dallas VideoFest)
