Third World Newsreel
Mission
Third World Newsreel (TWN) is an alternative media arts organization that fosters
the creation, appreciation and dissemination of independent film and video by and
about people of color and social justice issues.
It supports the innovative work of diverse forms and genres made by artists who
are intimately connected to their subjects through common bonds of ethnic/cultural
heritage, class position, gender, sexual orientation and political identification.
TWN promotes the self-representation of traditionally marginalized groups as well
as the negotiated representation of those groups by artists who work in solidarity
with them.
Ultimately, whether documentary, experimental, narrative, traditional or non-traditional,
the importance of the media promoted by the organization is its ability to effect
social change, to encourage people to think critically about their lives and the
lives of others, and to propel people into action.
