video volunteers in india do this sort of thing - the community (usually women!) make video magazines and take them to the villages and show them on outdoor screens (usually) - so the videos can be seen by around 10000 people per month. topics are generally community issues & things people want to share with others. they are on the net too but more people in the villages see them at a screening as internet access is less accessible. http://videovolunteers.org/
indymedia often have screenings also - usually activist based films/videos, some have been downloaded off the net or distributed to other collectives via dvd/downloads. same for festivals - arts/music/film festivals - small & large. also the pecha kucha nights and dorkbot nights sometimes show videos (sometimes synced to music too). they're cool get togethers and happen in many cities/countries & are for people to show off/share their projects/work. you can always hire a projector for the night if the expense is too much to purchase outright. also, at zine festivals/stalls and markets you can often pick up/purchase dvds/vcds of people's movies. another option for people's videos if they want to move past the internet.
