About Pad.ma:  Public Access Digital Media Archive - is an online archive of densely text-annotated video material, primarily footage and not finished films. We see Pad.ma as a way of opening up a set of images, intentions and effects present in video footage, that conventions of video-making, editing and spectatorship have tended to suppress. This expanded treatment then points to other, political potentials for such material, beyond the finite documentary film or the online video clip.
