*** APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING **** Latest news from the British Universities Film and Video Council Teachers' TV and Fourdocs win at Learning on Screen Awards The online and digital channel Teacher's TV and Channel 4's Fourdocs documentary website were the big winners at this year's Learning on Screen Awards. The Learning on Screen Awards celebrate and reward excellence in the production of effective learning material which employs moving image, sound and graphics. The Awards this year reflected the increasingly hybrid nature of moving image content for learning and teaching, as producers employ creative combinations of broadcast and online publishing to provide the content and the contextualisation that students need. The Awards were presented by Jonathan Hare (Hollywood Science, Rough Science) and Robert Llewellyn (Hollywood Science, Scrapheap Challenge, Red Dwarf) on 19 September at the Learning on Screen 2006 conference in Birmingham. The Awards are organised by the British Universities Film & Video Council. For full details of the Award winners, visit http://www.bufvc.ac.uk/learningonscreen.

New online look and new data for the British Universities Newsreel Database The BUFVC's British Universities Newsreel Database (BUND) has been completely redesigned, and substantial new data has been added from the ongoing Cinemagazines and the Projection of Britain project. Users will now find the site divided into three sections: Search, Learn More, and About. New features include a video showcase on the 1920s cinemagazine Around the Town. The database now includes the records of many newly catalogued cinemagazine series, including Mining Review, Eve's Film Review and London Line. New biographical information has been added on hundreds of people and companies associated with cinemagazines, and there is extensive information on cinemagazine series.
