Global Village Video (Global Village Video Resource Center) was a pioneering Manhattan-based media center that operated from the late 1960s to the 1980s. It produced and showcased "Guerilla TV" style documentaries that featured subject matter and stylistic qualities not seen on mainstream television of the period. Using the battery-operated Sony CV video portapak introduced in 1968, Global Village also trained numerous artists and activists in the new technology, launched the first major video and film festival devoted solely to documentaries, as well as spearheaded a movement to get the work of independent producers on public television.
