News Research into Scottish artists film and video from the 80s onwards.
Recently we were concerned that a number of short, independent film and video works produced in Scotland during the 80's and 90's had disappeared into dark cupboards of people's flats and houses or been left in a pile in a video workshop somewhere. With no centralised archive, catalogue or visibility and with the problem of work having been made on out-dated formats, we thought it was time to begin to research the need for developing an archive of film and video work in Scotland. The information you provide will help us approach some key individuals, funding bodies and institutions on how best to locate, categorise, assess and trace a history as well as tackling the important issue of transferring works onto digital formats, their visibility and access. We are currently gathering information on artists, film and video makers in Scotland who made film and video work between 1985 and 2005. We would like to hear from you if you made film or video works between these dates. Louise Crawford and Ann Vance lcrawford@neuf.fr
