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

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.
See more about the animate! Project at http://www.animateonline.org
