A project in collaboration with [http://www.chanceprojects.com Neil Cummings & Marysia Lewandowska] that evolved from British Art Show 6.

The Free DVD was launched at the [http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/eventseducation/symposia/anticipatingthepastartistsarchivefilm5202.htm Anticipating the Past: Artist: Archive: Film] conference on the 12th-13th May, at Tate Modern.

The DVD includes three new films - edited from archive film material, with a soundtrack made from out-of-copyright records - along with the original material and source files. The material is released under a [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/ Creative Commons license], enabling anyone to use and re-use Screen Tests for future creative exchange.

'''Screen Tests 1/4 Screen Tests'''<br>
The film unfolds as a series of Andy Warhol-like screen tests, slowly revealing the location and the occupation of those before the camera - students and models from the Manchester School of Art.

'''Screen Tests 2/4 Dragline'''<br>
Dragline stumbles across an autonomous event, and echoing 1970's structuralist film, returns the default setting of contemporary digital practice - sampling and looping - to its industrial roots.

'''Screen Tests 3/4 Broadcast Times: The Birth of Westward'''<br>
As the exhibition train leaves the platform, we are taken on a documentary journey of "a happy hunting ground for tycoons" the birth of commercial television broadcasting.

'''Screen Tests 4/4'''<br>
The Northern Region Film and Television Archive, based in Newcastle did not respond to several attempts at contact, eventually we spoke over the telephone and they declined any involvement.

[http://www.artscouncil.org.uk/ Arts Council England] funded the production of this DVD through Grants for the arts.
