TV/Media
In 1974-75 the TV/Media program supported 42 organizations and projects with a total of $1,233,770. The primary emphasis was on making sophisticated video facilities available to artists and organizations.
Over half of the program's funds went toward the general operations of 18 resource centers providing video workshops, technical and production assistance, and equipment loan programs. Three organizations - ZBS Foundation in Fort Edward, Innervision Media Systems of Central New York in Syracuse, and the TV Lab of the Educational Broadcasting Corporation in New York City-received support for artist-in-residence programs, making available opportunities for video and sound work. Two video editing and post-production centers were created for individual artists. Fourteen artists received support, through sponsoring organizations, for the production of experimental video works.
Six of the state's public television stations received funds, three of them for the purchase of time base correctors, which enable programs taped with low-cost video equipment to be adapted for broadcasting. Through the public television stations in Rochester and Syracuse, five local stations-WNED in Buffalo, WXXI in Rochester, WMHT in Schenectady, WCNY in Syracuse, and WNPE in Watertown-received funds to produce, broadcast and radiocast eight one-hour programs featuring upstate performing arts groups. This series, called "New York Performance," dramatically expanded the audiences for these organizations.
In addition, the TV/Media program supported residencies for media artists, video exhibitions, and general production expenses for video projects.

Film Program
In 1974-75 the Film program supported 80 organizations, as compared to 55 in the previous year. A dramatic increase in funds, from $479,000 to $1,077,172, allowed for substantial increases in the total amount of support most groups received.
Film exhibitions comprised the largest single category of support. Thirty-six different groups received aid for showing films. In many cases, film exhibition was only one of several kinds of film activities undertaken by the groups, which varied from the Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts in Blue Mountain Lake to the Film Society of Lincoln Center, sponsors of the annual New York Film Festival.
The state's library systems also received significant support for the long-term leasing of films to expand their 16mm film collections; eleven systems received funds averaging $9,000. In the previous year only two
systems were supported by the Council. These films benefit not only thousands of borrower/viewers, but also the filmmakers themselves, who receive royalties from the showings.
Direct benefits to filmmakers have always been a primary concern of the Film program; this year funds made possible 10 new productions, six filmmaker residencies, and 17 filmmaking workshops taught by film professionals. The Council also supported 10 organizations that provide film services, benefiting both filmmakers and viewers. The Media Equipment Resource Center (MERC), administered by the Young Filmakers Foundation in New York City, made equipment available to 184 organizations and 284 individual artists from 32 counties. MERC's success as a free-loan film and video equipment pool and in-house editing and post-production facility led to the creation of a second, the Cinemedia Resource Center in Rochester, administered by White Ox Films. This center is intended to provide Central and Western New York with film resources comparable to those available from MERC downstate and on Long Island.

Statewide Service Programs
The Media Equipment Resource Center (MERC) is a film, video and sound equipment free loan service administered by the Young Filmakers Foundation. Users include both individual artists and nonprofit organizations. Equipment may be borrowed on a short-term basis, usually less than a week, for production and presentation. Organizations which run film-making workshops may borrow Super-8 or 16mm equipment for longer periods of time, usually from three to six months. MERC also offers in-house post-production facilities for film and video editing, sound transfers, and screenings. Though the use of equipment is free, a refundable deposit or proof of insurance is required to cover possible loss or damage to equipment, and there is a small service fee for the use of the MERC studio for fi Im or video production. In 1974-75 MERC provided services to 284 artists and 184 organizations in 32 counties, saving them an estimated total of over $500,000 in rental fees.
The Film and Video Bureau, administered for the Council by the New York Foundation for the Arts, offers financial assistance for a variety of film and video services. It provides matching funds of up to $150 for lectures by film experts, and partial fees for video artists who demonstrate and talk about their work. It also provides matching funds, up to $300, for rental fees for community film societies, public libraries, art centers, and other nonprofit organizations that offer film series. In 1974-75 the Film and Video Bureau assisted 77 organizations in 34 communities in the presentation of 198 filmmakers and video artists, as well as 50 organizations in 27 communities that presented film series. In addition, it provided technical assistance to 22 organizations. A geographical listing of sponsors follows:
