I began to experiment with videos for TFF in 2007.
Most academics, at least at my age, are familiar with the written word, but we are increasingly living in a world of images. I am also interested in videos as a means of reaching people who are not academic and don’t read thick books.
Videos can’t substitute the word, the long argument, the book. But they can serve as a supplement, as an appetizer for deeper and longer reasoning, primarily when you work with young students.
I’ve been on and off of Vimeo and YouTube. It is over now.
In 2024, Google-owned YouTube cancelled me, so I could not log in and, therefore, could not upload, edit, or arrange TFF’s and Oberg PhotoGraphics’ channels there. They are now only archives – because, strangely, the channels are still there (probably by mistake). Vimeo suddenly got the idea that with me living in Europe, I could not have channels with them, and so I cancelled my presence there for good. Vimeo is also lousy when it comes to support and did many wrong things while I was a client.
Instead, TFF-related videos – our own and many others – are now on TFF’s Substack platform. You will find three categories of videos I have participated in here (scroll down a bit) New are added as they are created. In 2026, TFF and I got on Rumble.
I’ve experimented with Facebook Live Video Streaming which, after broadcast, automatically become videos. However, I am very discouraged by Facebook’s political censorship and algorithm tyranny and, since I am not guided by the click economy, I continue to seek independent options.

I shoot the videos on my iPhone and Xiaomi. Then I do the clipping, editing, sound directly, now on the Chinese CapCut.
It isn’t long ago that it would have cost a fortune to make a decent video – funds TFF and I myself never had. Now it is almost free, and technically so much better. But – yes – it does take time to do reasonably professionally.
Initially, it’s quite a challenge, but it is fun to experiment with new ways of reaching people for the good causes of peace and art – and how they are related.

Hej.
Dejligt at se dine kommentarer til situationen i Libyen. Virkelige humanistiske synspunkter har ikke megen plads i medierne, og dermed i vores fælles bevidsthed. Men den er her rent faktisk og den gror og modnes mens de tomme tønder buldrer derudaf…
Tak for begavede og humane tanker.

– you know of whom I speak.
Tak for din oplysthed og visdoms ord. Det var en fornøjelse at se Presselogen i går aftes. Jeg håber dine menneskelige tanker når ind til magtfulde hænder.
The world is about to change.
