UNHM Professor Anthony Tenczar’s collaborate film with media artist and poet Aldo Tambellini, Listen, was recently named the Best Experimental Film Award at the April 2006 Syracuse International Film and Video Festival. The film also won the Best Experimental Film Award at the New England Film and Video Festival in October 2005. In December 2005 Listen was selected to take part in the International Video Poetry Competition of the Potenza Film Festival in Italy and in March 2006 it was screened at the 44th Ann Arbor Film Festival in Michigan.

Listen presents, in sight and sound, a collection of Aldo Tambellini’s anti-war poetry. For Tambellini, it's quite personal, dating back to his personal experiences of war in Italy. "The reason I'm so anti-war is I was bombed at the age of 14," he recalls. "Twenty-one of my neighbors died, and I came very close to be bombed." Listen marks a reunion of sorts for Tambellini and Anthony Tenczar.

They worked together in the 1980s at MIT's Center for Advanced Video Studies, producing what Tenczar says was "one of the prototypes of the Internet." They communicated long-distance with artists and others in Tokyo, Toronto, San Francisco and New York using teletype, slow-scan visual imagery and other methods.

Tenczar is an assistant professor of communication arts at UNHM. He teaches digital video production, media aesthetics, media programming and documentary.  He has won many honors for his film/video work and has screened his work at numerous film festivals and media outlets. He is also active in community based media and serves on the board of directors of Concord Community TV.
