Position Description

Educational Video Center (EVC) is an award-winning non-profit youth media organization dedicated to teaching documentary video as a means to develop the artistic, critical literacy, and career skills of young people, while nurturing their idealism and commitment to social change. The Archive Distribution Specialist will oversee the maintenance and dissemination of our living archive of award-winning youth-produced films and ensure alignment with anti-oppressive practices. Traditional archives and media distribution systems often replicate systemic harm, and the Specialist will explore and build equitable approaches to these practically necessary but often problematic systems and associated methods. This role is an opportunity for innovations that are anti-oppressive, BIPOC-affirming, and revolutionary.
