007: Acts and Actions continues the Collective's mission to enrich and advance understanding of our mediated environment. Each of the selected works explores moving image duration with daring, skill, and innovation. Through this presentation and the accompanying illustrated catalogue, PFVAC seeks to generate dialogue on our experience of images in time.

007: Acts and Actions is the seventh project of the Portland Film + Video Artists Collective. PFVAC formed in July 2006. It is committed to the advancement of film and video as personal, experimental art forms through regional and international programming. Celebration and preservation of creative freedom is paramount in all actions.

007: Acts and Actions is made possible by a grant from the Maine Humanities Council, and the immense generosity of the Maine College of Art, Portland Color, and Zero Station.
