23:, or LFMC, was a British film-making workshop founded in 1966. Its annual BFI Regional Film funding as a Limited Company and Registered Charity was withdrawn in 1999, without notification of its membership. The Arts Council of England sought to force the amalgamation of the London Film-makers Co-operative Distribution Archive with London Electronic Arts formerly London Video Access to form Lux Ltd. In less than one financial year the limited company set up by the Arts Council went into liquidation, resulting in the sale of its assets by Price Waterhouse Cooper. London Film-makers Co-op life members with legal advice gathered together proofs from key members including founder members of donated items of workshop and film projection equipment. With legal documentation those items were successfully withdrawn from the Price Waterhouse Cooper sale. However the Arts Council refused to release the contact details of over 200 members (those with films deposited in distribution) so that an urgent General Meeting could be called to prevent the unlawful confiscation and retention by the Arts Council of England and its paid appointees, of the Distribution Archive collection (of over 2,000 titles) and the film processing, printing, editing and cine projection equipment.

in New York. One difference between the New York Co-op and the LFMC was that the LFMC was organized as an egalitarian, worksharing cooperative, which assisted production as well as distribution.
