4. PUBLISHING

A History of Artists' Film and Video in Britain, 1897-2004 by David  
Curtis. Book published by BFI in UK.  The first comprehensive history  
of artists' film and video in Britain. Structured in two parts  
('Institutions' and 'Artists and Movements'), it considers the work  
of some 300 artists.Written by the leading authority in the field, A  
History of Artists' Film and Video in Britain, 1897-2004 brings to  
light the range and diversity of British artists' work in these  
mediums as well as the artist-run organisations that have supported  
the art-form's development. In so doing it greatly enlarges the scope  
of any understanding of 'British cinema' and demonstrates the crucial  
importance of the moving image to British art history.

The Films of Su Friedrich (5 DVD set) published by Outcast films in  
USA. Since the 1970’s, Friedrich’s skillful mix of experimental  
narrative and documentary forms, filled with provocative feminist and  
lesbian themes, has made her a groundbreaking member of the avant- 
garde film community and a pivotal force in the establishment of  
Queer Cinema. This collection of DVDs includes the filmmaker’s  
classic works such as SINK OR SWIM, HIDE AND SEEK, THE TIES THAT  
BIND, DAMNED IF YOU DON’T, and THE ODDS OF RECOVERY, as well as EIGHT  
BONUS FILMS.

5. LUX NEWS

Dick Arnall
We’re sorry to report the death of Dick Arnall on 6th February 2007.  
Dick was closely involved in the founding of the experimental  
animation commissioning project animate! and in recent years ran the  
project directly himself. He had an extraordinarily infectious  
passion and commitment, and a boundless energy which supported many  
artists and organisations. LUX worked closely with Dick as the  
distributor of animate! works and he was a great friend and supporter  
of the organisation - we’ll miss him.
