VC Atlanta meets monthly to plan gatherings, workshops, and Video Labs, where documentary shorts, feature excerpts, and works-in-progress from members are screened for feedback.

Our goal is to uplift nonfiction media makers and bring together every voice working in Atlanta's nonfiction film and video landscape — and to provide resources, feedback, and support to ATL's growing community of visual storytellers.

VC Berlin, freshly founded in the spring of 2024, provides resources and support to the city’s blooming scene of non-fiction filmmakers. We will organize a couple of events every year, and curate thoughtful industry panels, workshops, and masterclasses. Our goal is to act as a bridge between local and immigrant documentary filmmakers, and the broader German and international film industry.

VC Berlin wurde im Frühjahr 2024 gegründet, wir bieten Ressourcen und Unterstützung für die aktive Szene der Non-Fiction-Filmemacher*innen in der Stadt. Wir organisieren in regelmäßigen Abständen Veranstaltungen und ausgewählte Panels, Workshops und Masterclasses.

Unser Ziel ist es, die lokale und Eingewanderten-Community der Dokumentarfilmemacher*innen zusammenzubringen – und eine Brücke zwischen der deutschen und internationalen Filmindustrie zu schlagen.

We've been gathering at production houses, small theaters, and backyards around East and West LA since April, 2016. We screen shorts, feature excerpts, and works-in-progress—a variety of pieces that speak to the variety of nonfiction work that our members are actively creating. Follow us on Instagram to hear about upcoming gatherings and workshops!

Our New York chapter is the Video Consortium's home—and where it first came to life on one cold wintery evening in 2015, at the back of an East Village bar, amongst a handful of nonfiction video-creating friends. Today, New York is still VC's headquarters, and as our community continues to flourish, our VCNY gatherings are always-sold-out, spectacularly inspiring celebrations of the brilliant work of our members. Join the party!

Features, shorts, and series excerpts that are screened at VCNY’s monthly gatherings are curated by a rotating triplet of VC members. See below for this quarter’s team. If you have suggestions for VC Selects or would like to nominate a member for a future quarter, please do let us know.

In addition to monthly gatherings, VCNY offers specialized panels/workshops and VideoLab, our quarterly works-in-progress critique and screening series.

VC Pittsburgh represents non-fiction video storytellers based in the Rust Belt and Appalachian heartlands. Situated at the crossroads of the Midwest, Northeast, and South, Pittsburgh has always been a vital location that bridges different American cultures and economies.

Our mission is to address issues like news deserts, freelancer advocacy and equitable representation in the non-fiction film industry. We hold quarterly screenings of recent work, workshops and networking events. If you’d like to get involved, or attend a future gathering, please reach out to the team!

The Consortium's Washington DC chapter unites the video journalists and documentarians of America’s capital and Mid-Atlantic region. VCDC gatherings are creatively themed and feature both local and outside independent talent as well as shorts from journalists whose outlets call Washington home: NPR, National Geographic, Vox, the Atlantic, The Washington Post, Al Jazeera, and beyond. We alternate monthly offerings of screenings and workshops throughout town as well as gatherings in each other's living rooms––all with an emphasis on community, ethics, and craft. Most recently we launched a mentorship program to nurture the next generation of non-fiction voices. Come join us!
