[spectre] Cinenova women's video at CFU Copenhagen

[Copenhagen Free University]

Summer video for the hardcore people still in town

The English visual artist and videomaker Emma Hedditch is at a
"residency" at the Copenhagen Free University during the month
of July and together with her we invite you to a video screening
on Thursday July 17 at 8pm.

Emma has brought some tapes with her from the film and video
distributor Cinenova where she has been working for several years.

Cinenova is a resource based in London that distributes videotapes
and film prints, of works made by women. In addition Cinenova has
an extensive collection of articles and publicity material that relates
to the work distributed. Founded in 1991, from the merger between
Circles and Cinema of women and since the inception of the
feminist media arts movement in the UK and it's redefinition of
social, cultural, political, psychological and economic concerns.

Cinenova is a source of very specific knowledge and is a network
and cultural community that not only engages directly with women's
film and video work, but with how to make this knowledge more
widely available. This understanding is of inestimable, critical
importance, as urgent now as it was twenty years ago with the
founding of Circles and Cinema of Women.

Two years ago, all funding for Cinenova stopped. The British Film
Institute who had been handling the storage and dispatch of all
Cinenova film prints, are no longer able to do this and are in the
process of returning the material to Cinenova. Coupled with the
pre-existing withdrawal of public funds the situation is at a
critical point. We want to continue and genuinely believe that it
is culturally, politically and socially important that we do so.
