FILMWAVESThe magazine for low/no-budget filmmakers and audiences. Published quarterly Filmwaves is an indispensable source of information on the established British Independent Film and Video sector which covers festivals, state funding agencies, books, new technology, Independent cinema history, features on film/video makers etc. Although it began as a d.i.y. autonomous publication it is now becoming a glossy creature of the state, It's coverage of the underground is sketchy and its politics compromised, but all the same it's worth the cover price for the listings and occasional good article. What you gonna do?Subscription to FILMWAVES for 4 issues is £10 (UK) £15 (EU) $28 (US). Make cheques payable to Obraz Productions Ltd. and send to Filmwaves, P.O. Box 420, Edgeware HA8 OXA. tel. 020 8906 4794.
AMATEUR CINE ENTHUSIAST MAGAZINEThe original cinema underground, A.C.E. has been published in various forms since 1934 and it's a revelation for any filmmaker working in Super 8, Standard 8, 16mm, or even 9.5mm. It's packed with articles, reports, adverts and classified ads on every aspect of amateur cine filmmaking and technology. If you've been told that Super 8 is dead or that you just cant get bulbs for the Pailliard Bolex G916 projector anymore... it's a lie ! Hard to get in regular shops (impossible, in fact) - the one place I know that regularly stocks it is The Widescreen Centre. Give 'em a call first although if youıre just going for this as it often sells out (small print run). Tel. 01503 272616 Subscriptions make cheques payable to Ace for £14 (UK) £20.00 (airmail) Send to ACE, Porthallow End, Talland, Looe, Cornwall, PL13 2JB, UK
VERTIGO MAGAZINEHeavily subsidised, definitely old school, Independent film and video magazine whose contributors and editorial board reads like a who's who of state funding selection panels. The contents is mostly theoretical, profiles of makers, reviews and hand wringing about cuts in state funding. If you can get past the in-jokes and the self righteous tone there's sometimes some revealing features. It's even got a bit cheeky lately. Hmmmm.Published quarterly, subscription £10 (UK) £15 (EU) $18 (US and beyond). Make cheques payable to Vertigo Ltd. Send to Vertigo, 7-9 Earlham Street, London, WC2H 9LL, UK. e-mail: vertigo.lusia@lineone.net
MELANCHOLIC TROGLODYTECinema At The bottom Of A Swamp. Willfully obscure and unrepentant Marxist/situationist style theoretical journal, like the bastard hybrid of cyber Sufi mysticism and 70's Screen structuralism! It's a laugh riot !!!!£2.00 (p&p) to Melancholic Troglodytes, box no.44, 136-138 Kingsland High Street, London E8 2NS. London Film & Video News Newsletter of the London
Film and Video Development Agency Costs £3 for four issues. News of funding, facilities, festivals, courses + workshops about to happen in the capital. Pretty mainstream - which is hardly surprising seeing as it comes from the central funding agency - but often useful info. Thereıs so much information on the World Wide Web that itıs hard
to know where to begin. An excellent starting point for those inclined
though is the mighty impressive And for a COMPLETELY Super 8 mine of information
