COMING SOON - NEW FACES IN CINEMA!

NEW FACES IN CINEMA - THE SERIES

 

New Faces in Cinema is an exciting new series that will showcase the documentaries of independent filmmakers.

The goal of the series is to create a forum for documentaries that specifically address contemporary issues facing us today. The documentaries featured represent the best in bold storytelling, and discuss major issues affecting our communities. The series will go beyond broadcast to create local and national conversations using townhall meetings, live streaming and DCTV's Facebook. New Faces in Cinema debuts in Feburary.

2011 will have plenty in store, so continue to support DCTV -
the Nation's Community Television Network - and tell your friends about us!

 

All new and renewing members, and members who attended November's DCTV 101 will be given a new membership identification card. This card must be worn at all times in the facility.

It will also contain a barcode number which will be used in the future for transactions including equipment and reserving studio space. If the identification card is lost or stolen,
we will provide a replacement card for a small fee.
