Abstract

George Stoney, in a career that spans more than sixty years, may be said to be an embodiment of the documentary tradition. Though we were familiar with his career, nothing quite prepared us for the complexity of his work or the extent of his influence, which was revealed as we culled through manuscripts, documents, and the many responses to our calls for original material. Again and again, we were struck by the range and depth of his friendships, as well as by his enduring commitment to media in all forms, for the community, and by the community. Teacher, media maker, and activist, he has long been a familiar and dynamic presence, from Brazil to Ireland, from the Flaherty seminars to local public access stations. What is less evident in this very visible life is his enduring contribution to the institutions, practices, and programs that sustain alternative media.
