Biomechanics and prevention of body shape distortion Feature Patterns of body shape distortion Changes in body shape could be considered to have become synonymous with individuals described as having complex health care needs. Irrespective of diagnosis, any individual developing a destructive habitual lying posture can be considered at risk of developing distortions of body shape which will compromise respiration, circulation and digestion. These habitual postures can develop because of movement difficulties, the early stages of skeletal asymmetry or habit. Adults are calculated to spend approximately a third of their time in the lying posture, but the proportion is often greater during childhood and, as a result, habitual lying positions often become recognisable from the pattern of distortion of body shape seen as the

This article considers the place of women's amateur film within regional and national film archive holdings through a specific case study of the 'Women Amateur Filmmakers in Britain' project at the East Anglian Film Archive (EAFA). Reflecting on the process of cataloguing and presenting this collection, the article will explore the challenges of making women's creative filmed work visible, suggesting that women's amateur films exist at a crucial overlap of archival oversight and cultural stigma. We argue that prevailing associations of archive film with space, place and location could prevent feminist-led projects from gaining traction in the contested world of exhibition where locality often overshadows other thematic or stylistic approaches. We argue that only by reconsidering the types of films that are prioritised for preservation and presentation can women's films be made fully visible.
