In addition to VideoFest, Weiss has taught film and video production at Southern Methodist University and the University of Texas at Arlington and served on the board of several film associations, including the Association of Independent Video and Filmmakers and the Texas Association of Film and Tape Professionals. For more than thirty years, Bart Weiss has produced the program Frame on Mind for Dallas PBS station KERA-TV, which highlights the work of Texas-based filmmakers. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
