Dear All,
If you have ever wanted DVDs of documentaries or artists' films for
teaching and not been able to find them, then this project is for you. At
the moment we are tryingto assess the level of interest to launch later in
the year, so please complete the simple questionnaire if you would like
the service described below.  You may well have got this message
already... so apologies for cross posting.
All the best,
John Ellis 

unReal distribution is an innovative documentary and artists’ film
distribution initiative based on a novel subscription model.

An expanding catalogue of hard-to-source, key nonfiction films will be
made available to researchers, practitioners, teachers, students and an
interested public through a network of subscribing institutions. 
 
unReal will develop a national subscriber base that includes most film,
documentary and media studies departments, teaching and research
libraries, cultural institute and film society collections, and
practitioners’ organizations. 
 
Subscribing institutions will receive multiple DVD copies of film and
video work only available through this network. This will include many
titles that consistently figure in critical texts and on curricula but for
which teaching or research copies are impossible to source:  
 
• English language versions of significant foreign-language films
• Key historical works that have fallen out of distribution
• Challenging, formally innovative new work not commercially distributed
• Important work of contemporary artists’ accessible only on the
   international gallery circuit.
 
Subscribers will also have access to:
 
• Supplementary research resources and critical material
• Discounts from a number of publishers
• An ongoing events programme aimed at the long-term development of
  diverse and engaged audiences for documentary and artists’ film.
