Working Together, Groups in Action: Feminist Collectives, Coops and Organisations Working in Film and Video in Britain, 1970 - 86 and the Present

我建议进行女权主义集体，合作社和组织的研究工作在实验电影和视频，总部设在英国和1970年和1986年之间的活动。我打算讨论他们的协作组织和制作的方法，与当时的社会，政治和技术背景，关于电影美学和公共领域理论的争论有关。我期待着探索这些组织的方法，工作内容和流通模式，同时将这些与当前的女权主义者，艺术家电影制片人与社区和团体合作。这项研究的动机是由一个显着上升的运动图像艺术家与社区和团体合作。其中包括安德烈卢卡齐默尔曼，佩特拉鲍尔，露西帕克，Seecum张，Rehana扎曼和亚历克斯Martinis罗伊。虽然这些做法可以说是等同于对艺术家越来越多的要求，以履行社会角色之间的公共资金稳步减少社会服务，这可以说明最近在艺术机构的教育计划的上升，校准，以吸引边缘化的青年和当地团体，我也把这些艺术家的工作和他们的方法，以合作，非等级工作，和互惠交流，在独立的电影和视频制作中，女权主义者自我组织的血统。

I propose to conduct a study of feminist collectives, coops and organisations working in experimental film and video, based in Britain and active between 1970 and 1986. I intend to discuss their methodology of collaborative organising and making in relation to the social, political and technological context of the time, debates about film aesthetics, and public sphere theories. I look to explore these organisations' methods, content of work and modes of circulation, whilst placing these in relation to current feminist, artist filmmakers working with communities and groups.The motivation for this study has been prompted by a noticeable rise in moving image artists working in collaboration with communities and groups. These include Andrea Luka Zimmerman, Petra Bauer, Lucy Parker, Seecum Cheung, Rehana Zaman and Alex Martinis Roe. Whilst these practices could arguably be equated to the increasing demand placed on artists to perform a social role amongst a steady decrease in public funding to social services, which can be illustrated by a recent rise in education programmes at arts institutions calibrated to engage marginalised youth and local groups, I also place these artists work and their approach to collaboration, non-hierarchical working, and reciprocal exchange, in a lineage of feminist self-organising in independent film and video production.
