Government access channel nets 4 first-place honors
SEATTLE — TVSea, Seattle’s municipal cable channel, picked up four
first-place awards in the Alliance for Community Media’s "Best of the
Northwest" contest, which honors outstanding community television programs from
Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming and Alberta and British
Columbia.
Noncommercial programs produced for public, educational and governmental access
channels are eligible. Of the six programs Seattle entered, these four received top
awards:
- At Their Fingertips (human understanding category). This short documentary, about
three Seattle residents who were born deaf and are now losing their vision, examines their
concerns about going blind while they display courage and pride in themselves as active
members of their communities.
-
Voices of the WTO (documentary). This documentary offers an overview of the WTO
ministerial conference, focusing on the issues rather than the aftermath. It features
"on the scene" interviews with WTO delegates and protestors.
-
A View From Here (The Northwest). This video blends art, poetry and musical
performances in honor of the Mount Rainier Centennial celebration. Artists discuss how
Mount Rainier has inspired their work. The video was taped an at event at the
Seafirst/Bank of American gallery.
- Longfellow Creek (environment).
This video, co-produced with Seattle Public
Utilities, is the first in a series of videos examining Seattle’s Urban Creeks Legacy
project, which highlight urban creek restoration in Seattle.
