| Title: | Independent film and video distribution in the UK |
|---|---|
| Description: | 'Independent film and video distribution in the UK' is the website of a linked set of AHRC projects that "aim to assess the role and effectiveness of distribution as an institution that mediated between film/video makers and their audiences within the independent film/video sector during the 1980s and 1990s". The website has a description of the scope and aims of the research, and three project summaries for: "Independent Film and Video Distribution in the UK, 1966-2000"; "The Contemporary Promotion of Artists' Film and Video in the UK"; and "Databasing Key Documents and Narrative Chronologies of Artists' Film and Video Distributors in the UK". Two of the projects have end-of-year reports available online. There is a page that lists research papers, conference papers and journal articles, and which has details of a 2008 book titled : 'Reaching Audiences: Distribution, Promotion and Exhibition'. |
