Afterimage, Apr. 1984, v. 11, no. 9, p. 3

An article describing the problems besieging the arts component of the Los Angeles Olympic Games as the organizers set to strike the right note with big business. The video component of the festival was to be a commission of 5 work by California artists for broadcast, but the Olympic Committee withdrew and sponsored instead the AFI's program of video screenings as part of the AFI National Video festival.
