Feminism and Film Distribution: An Analysis of Cinenova's Management Committee Meeting Minutes, 1991–97
Cinenova was relaunched in 1991 from the pre-existing women’s distributor, Circles, which had operated throughout the 1980s. In keeping with their founders’ feminist politics, both Circles and Cinenova were run via a non-hierarchical management structure and had as their main focus the distribution, promotion and exhibition of films and videos made by, for and about women. As the funding and economic climate became harsher during the 1990s, however, this organisational model was severely tested, as Cinenova’s workers were forced to try and survive on a more commercially viable basis. This article uses Cinenova’s management committee meeting minutes from 1991–97 to explore how its management practices impacted on its operation and effectiveness
High Hopes for Video: The UK Independent Film and Video Sector's Engagement with the Videocassette
When VHS technology took off in the late 1970s/early 1980s, it triggered widespread hopes in the UK that it would provide the means to deliver non-mainstream moving image work – artists’ film and video, documentary work, political activism, as well as domestic and European feature films – to wider audiences. Correspondence from the Greater London Council, the Arts Council and distributors, as well as press releases, magazine articles and contracts document various initiatives that sprung up amid those hopes in order to enable audiences to access a wider range of moving image work – via the shelves of public libraries and the newly instigated video access libraries, as well as in their own homes through rental and sell-through ventures. This article uses this archive material – available via the Film & Video Distribution Database (http://fv-distribution-database.ac.uk) – to explore the range of these initiatives (especially the library schemes), together with the enthusiasm and concerns to which they gave rise and how these parallel more contemporary initiatives in the digital realm

Real closed exponential fields
In an extended abstract Ressayre considered real closed exponential fields
and integer parts that respect the exponential function. He outlined a proof
that every real closed exponential field has an exponential integer part. In
the present paper, we give a detailed account of Ressayre's construction, which
becomes canonical once we fix the real closed exponential field, a residue
field section, and a well ordering of the field. The procedure is constructible
over these objects; each step looks effective, but may require many steps. We
produce an example of an exponential field with a residue field and a
well ordering such that is low and and are ,
and Ressayre's construction cannot be completed in .Comment: 24 page
