Founded by frustrated aspiring filmmaker John Dorr in 1979, EZTV was created as an independent art space and production studio dedicated to video and, eventually, digital and performance art. From feature-length narrative dramas to horror, comedy, erotica, documentaries, and more, EZTV provided the space and equipment for independent videomakers of all stripes and backgrounds to realize their visions. Video Capital of the World is a weeklong screening and performance series honoring the diverse range of artists and communities that have found a home at EZTV over the first 45 years of its existence and the global influence that it has had on the development of video, digital, and performance art. Featuring nine wide-ranging programs across six different venues and online, the series is a first-of-its-kind expansive tribute to a still under-understood LA institution.
