This tab will grow in size and selection as we acquire more Festival video and process it for this portal. Thanks to the USCC video club for their enduring interest in preserving these events on video. Our objective is to make rare and nearly never-seen-before video productions and also to gather/collect all available posted videos to exhibit and celebrate Doukhobor singing (and other) to the world via this portal in an environment without offensive advertising.


 
In honouring the upcoming 70th anniversarry of the USCC Youth Festival, and with thanks to the USCC Video Club, we've been able to add a few gems of the past to the video collection. In just a few parts for now, we're hoping to acquire and process the entire festival segments in time, but do scroll down.

We've been fortunate to receive parts of past Festivals from the USCC Video Club for transcoding into web-worthy viewing, The Festivals were originally edited down to various lengths (usually around an hour apiece) and we're adding those segments to this Festival tab as we get them and as we're able. Only those 'parts' we've acquired will be available to view until others arrive/ get transcoded from the original source to Internet video.
