Clippings:
- "So
whatever happened to avant-garde films and filmmaking
in Boston? Don't give up on it if you haven't experienced
Video Balagan, the ongoing series celebrating independent
cinema and video at the Coolidge Corner Theatre. Today's
theme is "Poetry in Motion," wherein poetic shorts
by local talents including Henry Ferrini's "Kerouac
Blues" (2000) and Jeanne Liotta's "Muktikara" (1999)
are interspersed with unfilmed poetry readings."
- Boston Phoenix, October

- "Video
Balagan, the weekly program of offbeat visual enthrallment
at the Coolidge Corner Theatre, resumes with a screening
of avant-garde visionary Craig Baldwin's "Specter
of the Spectrum" (1999) ..."

- "In
its brief existence Video Balagan, a round-up of local
independent and experimental work screening at the
Coolidge Video Screening Room, has proven a refreshing
stimulus to local film and video artists and fans."
-- Boston Phoenix, April

- "For
most of us, films from Yugoslavia are limited to video
of NATO bombing raids during the recent Kosovo action.
Video Balagan, a group of local canoeists, will try
to rectify that situation with "Eastern European
Winds", a program of shorts and experimental
cinema from a country that has endured tremendous
trauma and change and seems to have prevailed despite
the odds. Perhaps these films might provide an insight
to why."
