External Site: Film & Video Distribution Database[info]
The FVDD consists of digitised documents relating to the distribution and promotion of artists’ film and video in the UK from the mid-sixties, by organisations such as the London Filmmakers Co-op, The Other Cinema, LVA, Cinenova, etc . Particularly useful for research purposes, the database is searchable by author, title or date and documents are mainly accessible in pdf format. Funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, the FVDD is a collaboration between the University of Sunderland and the British Artists’ Film and Video Study Collection at the University of the Arts London, since the digitised documents provide an institutional history which complements the Study Collection’s own database and holdings of artists’ work, papers, materials and catalogues.
