The Radical Media Forum is a regular meeting for left-aligned
politically-engaged media practitioners, activists and researchers.
Participants include those working with: film/video and television,
online media and Indymedia, radio, books and print publication,
community and media events, archives, and media research. It is open to
individuals and groups working at any level across voluntary activist
and community-based media to those working within mainstream and
academic contexts.

The forum provides a space for networking, news exchange, skills
sharing, discussion, debate, and building a more consolidated base for
critical media in Scotland and the UK. Meetings take place every two
months at various venues.

Each forum provides time for meeting and exchanging news, issues, ideas,
etc., followed by a dedicated skills and discussion session.

For the January 2012 meeting, film and documentary maker Barbara Orton
will facilitate a practical workshop to discuss issues and practices
around engaging audiences through mainstream formats and alternatives to
these. The debate around mainstream access is an important one in
political film-making, whether to work with it, challenge, or reject it,
and it is useful to understand how such positions may determine the ways
in which work is realised. Participants are invited to bring along film
and video projects they are currently working on to review and discuss
as part of the session.
