On & For signing ‘off’ again

In anticipation of the book’s release we have been publishing essays to our website, including…
 

From What to How by Ilona Jurkonytė, a proposal for AMI to remain elusively defined, for therein maybe lies its strength.

The Importance of Digital Art Distribution by Rachel Somers Miles, a report on the preliminaries of a large-scale research project our colleagues at LIMA (NL) have been conducting in the distribution of AMI, artists’ film and media art.

Building Blocks: A Conversation Between Auguste Orts and Helena Kritis by Rebecca Jane Arthur, a fascinating long-read into the histories and politics of the ‘artist-led’ and of moving image production in the audiovisual landscape of Belgium and further afield with the initiators of On & [removed];

And, Look at and Look After Infrastructures by Anna Manubens, a look back at the place of support structures in (and in the place of) arts institutions from a vantage point at the aftermath of the upheavals of the past year.

Do take a look for certain inspiration in an idle moment.

We would take a moment also to remind anyone who missed our collaboration with Kunstnernes Hus Kino, Mapping Distribution: New Norwegian Initiatives, that all five of the case studies are available to revisit as videos on our website.

Across five weeks, a series of invited Norwegian organisations and networks involved in creative audiovisual distribution shared knowledge to illuminate the variety, particularities, audiences, contexts and needs they were immersed in and responded to. This series culminated in an online roundtable, Distributed Futures: Alternative Circuits for alternative films? moderated by Mike Sperlinger.

You can find them–here.

Auguste Orts also would very much like to thank Rebecca Jane Arthur for her inspired and inspiring work—above and beyond the call—on the 2018–2021 edition of On & For Production and Distribution.

A very special thank you also to Creative Europe.

From all of us at On & For, until we meet again!
