People Like Us DVD 'Story Without End'. DVD published by Sonic Arts  
Network in UK.
Sonic Arts Network presents a collection of short films by leading  
British AV artist People Like Us, a true champion of a particularly  
English sense of humour. The DVD shows a journey though a multi- 
layered 20th Century, represented by bright eyed and enthusiastic  
images of the modern world, concluding with the new Sonic Arts  
Network commission 'Story Without End'. Since 1992 Vicki Bennett has  
been producing CDs, radio and AV multimedia under the name People  
Like Us. Through a process of animating and recontextualising found  
footage, Bennett creates collages with dark, witty and surrealistic  
view of popular culture. http://www.sonicartsnetwork.org/

Portrait of Jason. A Film by Shirley Clarke. DVD published by Second  
Run Films in UK. Portrait of Jason is the raw record of a  
confessional conversation with an African-American gay hustler  
recounting his life and times. A disturbing and fascinating document,  
it unflinchingly observes Jason Holliday - conversing, performing,  
confessing, dissolving. Shirley Clarke was a key figure in the  
American avant-garde and has been an influence on filmmakers and  
video artists over the last 40 years. Available for the first time  
ever on DVD, Portrait of Jason is a counter-culture classic and a  
landmark in American independent cinema. http://www.secondrundvd.com/

IAN BREAKWELL
We are very sorry to announce the death of British artist, Ian  
Breakwell who passed away on 14 October. Ian had long association  
with LUX and its predecessor organisations in relation to his film  
and video work and on a personal level was a friend to many of us

had been working on his Variety project which culminated in a large  
exhibition, also called Variety to mark the re-opening of the De La  
Warr Pavilion in Bexhill-on-Sea, the exhibition is dedicated to his  
memory and ongoing at the moment.

Preserving Artists’ Moving Images (Panel Discussion)
Artists’ film and video represent some of the most compelling and  
significant artistic creations of our time. These works represent a  
history of artistic practice developed outside of the mainstream  
often with little or no institution support. Defined by its diversity  
and individualism, artists’ film and video work represents a  
significant challenge for the archives, but a crucial one if these  
important works are not to be lost to art and film history. The  
speakers will also being showing and speaking about recent projects  
they've worked on.
William Fowler, Curator of Artists’ Film and Video at the National  
Film, Television and Video Archive, London
Andrew Lampert, Archivist, Anthology Film Archives, New York
Mark Toscano, Film Preservationist, Academy Film Archives, Los Angeles

SFX, they challenge the production and organisation of images.  
Artists include Benjamin Callaway, Hilary Koob-Sassen and others to  
be announced. Curated by Stuart Comer, Curator at Tate Modern.
