[Videolib] More proof that media is the redheaded step child in the academy

2013-07-16 Thread Deg Farrelly
In case you are not already aware, the Association of College  Research 
Libraries' Research Planning and Review Committee released their Environmental 
Scan 2013 this past April.

The 45 page document is freely available at 
http://www.ala.org/acrl/sites/ala.org.acrl/files/content/publications/whitepapers/EnvironmentalScan13.pdf

The report focuses on the following areas: Trends in Higher Education; Future 
of the Profession; Scholarly Communication; Radical Collaboration; Technology; 
and Assessment and Accountability.

Go ahead, I dare you…. Find the references to media in the report.

No mention of the upsurge in streaming video, the demise of vast collections of 
VHS that are approaching obsolescence and may be irreplaceable, no mention of 
collaborative media collection development, or of the possibilities of PDA for 
media collection development.

Pathetic.

I'll get off my soap box now.

[Videolib] Fwd: Film as memoir

2013-07-16 Thread Jeffrey Pearson
Hi, I received this request from a prof and thought it would be fun
for the list. I thought of these documentaries, but I'm sure she is
also interested in feature films:

Capturing the Friedmans
51 Birch Street
Tarnation

Thanks,

Jeff
UMich

..

I'm creating a new course on writing memoir, and I want to include a
couple of films. One that I haven't seen yet but that I think will fit
well is Stories We Tell, a documentary by Sarah Polley about her
deceased mother that incorporates the memories of a range of family
and friends and in the process reveals a great deal about those being
interviewed. Another possibility is Persepolis, based on the graphic
novel/memoir by Marjane Satrapi.

Do you have other films you could suggest that would fit this genre?
Films that raise interesting questions about storytelling, memory,
truth, conflicting versions of events, etc. would be particularly
interesting.

The first title that jumps to mind for me is SHOAH

Follow up on that with any number of films from Holocaust survivors.

Also, Word is Out (didn't Dennis Doros help to restore it?), and the two

of the ACT UP movement.

Re: [Videolib] Film as memoir

2013-07-16 Thread Matthew Gallagher
Hi Jeff, 

José Padilha's Secrets of the Tribe would be an interesting fit. It's a 'film 
that documents a he said-he said war of egos fought among ethically dubious 
anthropologists on opposing sides of a theoretical debate that includes 
accusations of genocide and pederasty.' Rather incriminating tale of Napoleon 
Chagnon  Jacques Lizot's treatment of the Yanomami tribe in the Amazon. Could 
work well if the professor was interested in academic/accepted memory in 
comparison to personal/experiential memory. 

Best,

Re: [Videolib] More proof that media is the redheaded step child

2013-07-16 Thread scott spicer
deg,

I agree with your assertion to a large extent. That said, point of fact,
the report does provide some nods to trends in media intersection with
academic libraries. There are several members of our community, such as
myself, who are additionally engaged in services related to these trends.


Variety of formats (sometimes code for media): (p. 2, Librarians will be
challenged to provide services in a variety of formats, for a variety of
students who are attending their institution (and others).)

Multimodal Scholarship: (p. 10, publications that support embedded media
formats; p. 15, encourage and use digital media formats for broad
dissemination of information.)

Media Production: (p. 23, Universities and libraries that do not embrace
the potential for multimedia production, project management, and university
services (Johnson, Adams, and Cummins 2012) could quickly fall behind the
curve.)



Still, agreed, it is a bit stunning that educational media collections and
concomitant issues are completely absent, particularly at a time when
eLearning seems to be all the rage.  A/V preservation of local collections
appears to be overlooked as well, even when the authors had a prime
opportunity to explicitly include it (p. 15, Methods for providing
discovery, access, delivery, and preservation of nontext scholarship (cell
lines, data sets, etc.) will continue to change the landscape of scholarly
communication.).  We have to keep pushing the rock, while rolling with the
times!

Best,
Scott

 I'm creating a new course on writing memoir, and I want to include a
 couple of films. One that I haven't seen yet but that I think will fit
 well is Stories We Tell, a documentary by Sarah Polley about her
 deceased mother that incorporates the memories of a range of family
 and friends and in the process reveals a great deal about those being
 interviewed. Another possibility is Persepolis, based on the graphic
 novel/memoir by Marjane Satrapi.

 Do you have other films you could suggest that would fit this genre?
 Films that raise interesting questions about storytelling, memory,
 truth, conflicting versions of events, etc. would be particularly
 interesting.

 VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of
 issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic
 control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in
 libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as
 an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of
 communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video
 producers and distributors.

Funny, it took me a while to think of the Milestone films we have because I 
never thought of them that way, but I knew we must have some because we like 
those kind of films. We love them all, but here's a few cool ones...


WORD IS OUT is wonderful, but UCLA and Ross Lipman restored the film. We 
proudly distribute it.


We also have the wonderful KILLER OF SHEEP by Charles Burnett which is entirely 
based on things he experienced or events he saw growing up. 


Marcel Ophuls' THE SORROW AND THE PITY.


Manoel de Oliviera's OPORTO OF MY CHILDHOOD.


BUT the king of them all is Shirley Clarke's PORTRAIT OF JASON that we just 
brought out. That's a really incredible memoir. www.portraitofjason.com

Hi Jeff, 

José Padilha's Secrets of the Tribe would be an interesting fit. It's a 'film 
that documents a he said-he said war of egos fought among ethically dubious

accusations of genocide and pederasty.' Rather incriminating tale of Napoleon

work well if the professor was interested in academic/accepted memory in

Shoah is superlative, but it is probably prohibitively long. A searing 
documentary that tackles the same subject, the Holocaust, which I agree should 
be strenuously considered for a represented memoir film (though that, what a 
memoir film is, in this context is, and what it's trying to convey, is still 
sketchy to me, and I agree with Randal that not enough info about the course 
and students has been provided) is Manfred Kirchheimer'sWe Were So Beloved. 
Positively a knockout.
