Re: [Videolib] 13th and Streaming Distribution w/o Educational Availability
Thanks Mat! Chiming in with my two cents about the below. You are correct that Netflix typically doesn’t hold EDU rights for their straight acquisitions (they just impose some SERIOUS holdbacks), but this not the case for their Originals. For their Originals acquisitions, they take all rights, including educational. In the case of Audrie and Daisy, Netflix has the educational rights, and chose to work with Film Sprout to make the film available for classroom use for free. But as we all know, they have left out a crucial audience & licensing option that leaves many institutions without the access they need/want. Which is why this exact movement is so great! I look forward to seeing this progress!!

Re: [Videolib] 13th and Streaming Distribution w/o Educational Availability
This is great everyone! We’ve actually been in talks with the filmmakers from Audrie and Daisy since before the premiere at Sundance, trying to advocate for Edu. We even got close to arranging something with Netflix after the Originals deal was done, so it will be wonderful to be able to show them this type of demand. Once something is drafted, I’d be happy to share with the filmmakers directly as well, since they too have been trying to work something out with Netflix to bring A & D to the educational market in a meaningful way (beyond individual and private classroom use).

Re: [Videolib] How do you know when you ¹ ve become an artist?]
We here at ro*co films are always willing to discuss flexible pricing when libraries are wanting to purchase multiple titles. We have such a small collection (unlike Bullfrog, Kino Lorber, Women Make Movies, etc), so lowering our prices to $60 just isn¹t an option for us, especially when we have no assurance that this will increase the amount of DVDs sold. However, when multiple titles (or copies) are requested, we are always open to discussing substantial discounts! For all librarians interested, please be in touch and we can discuss further.

I don't doubt you and James will buy a copy of films you would not otherwise, but many educational titles deal with very specialized subjects and they are not going to sell 2.000 copies. Keep in mind that it would also require a lot more time money from a company and the real kicker is they would still have to only do direct sales, nearly all to institutions. In order for a film to be really retail they would have to sell 20 times as many copies since wholesalers would take up to 50% of the price. Years ago I did a little experiment at Kino to see if there could be a middle ground. I curated a 3 title collection of silent films directed by women. I believe it was something $50 for institutions and $25 for individuals per title with a discount for the set. Sold about 200 at $50 each( or less as a set) did come close to covering the costs and a few dozen to individuals. Luckily there had been a TV sale which allowed me to fund the project. I thought $50 and $125 seemed like a nice middle ground but in truth had I sold them two or three times that, they would have made more money. Most of the institutions would still have purchased them and more than made up for some that would not have. If the library community wants to figure out a way to assure distributors they will literally sell 10 times the number of copies if they sell titles at $30 a pop, I guarantee you distributors would jump at the chance.

Re: [Videolib] Interest in REAGAN documentary?
Hi Gary, Thanks for your response. I am thinking though, that because this film offers up a much more critical stance on who Reagan was as a president and a person (in line with your P.S. comment below) that libraries would want to acquire this type of media that looks at him from this alternative (and frankly more accurate) viewpoint?

EUGENE JARECKI¹S REAGAN, DEBUTING FEB. 7 ON HBO, EXPLORES AN ICONIC AMERICAN PRESIDENT A glamorous leading man with the common touch, a dedicated ³Cold Warrior² who helped negotiate the most sweeping accords in history with the Soviet Union and a staunch proponent of smaller government, Ronald Reagan remains an enigma even to many of his closest advisors. A fresh examination of the fascinating paradoxes surrounding the man, the myth and his legacy, Eugene Jarecki¹s insightful documentary REAGAN follows the 40th president¹s rise from small-town lifeguard to revered architect of the modern world. This textured study investigates how Reagan¹s homespun political vision fueled a seismic career, one whose reverberations still shape American life. Balancing the conflicting versions presented by colleagues, historians, supporters and family, while combining archival footage, never-before-seen interviews and the words of Reagan himself, Jarecki assembles a rich portrait of a contradictory figure who spun his movie stardom into political gold and became the leader of the free world. Tracing his subject from small-town boyhood to heady Hollywood days, Jarecki discovers a man whose offhand amiability masked a steely resolve. When his acting career faltered after World War II, Reagan reinvented himself, first as president of the Screen Actors Guild, then as a pitchman for products ranging from cigarettes to laundry soap. He eventually landed the role that would send him down another path, as official television and corporate spokesperson for General Electric. Reagan¹s travel on behalf of the company to small towns around the nation provided him with a unique political education as he gave speeches and mingled with GE¹s workers. The one-time FDR enthusiast and supporter of the New Deal gradually abandoned his liberal roots for more conservative pastures. By the 1960s, his transformation was complete. Standing beside archconservative Barry Goldwater, the 1964 Republican nominee for president, Reagan became a charismatic voice for conservatism in America. As the civil unrest of the era exploded nationwide, Reagan rode the white, working-class backlash all the way to Sacramento and two terms as governor of California. Reagan¹s willingness to allow the National Guard to confront demonstrating students with tear gas and attack dogs earned him a reputation as a tough traditionalist. The support and admiration of the so-called ³silent majority² buoyed his unsuccessful campaigns for the presidential nomination in 1968 and 1976, and in 1980, he topped the GOP field to run against and beat incumbent Democratic President Jimmy Carter. Once in office, Reagan proved more pragmatic than dogmatic. After campaigning for lower taxes, his administration raised taxes in six of the eight years of his presidency. Regardless, his charm and affability won the hearts of the American public, which overwhelmingly reelected him in 1984. He denounced the U.S.S.R. as an ³Evil Empire,² demanded that the Soviets ³tear down the [Berlin] Wall² and authorized
[Videolib] Question about K-12 classroom materials
Hello all, I know most of you are librarians in a University setting, but I have a question about educational media that is used in a K-12 classroom environment. We just realized that a company that markets educational materials to K-12 teachers is selling a HOME DVD to be used in the classroom (for the much lower price of $30). Based on what I know about educational rights and materials, this appears to be wrong. Don't they have to sell the K-12 educational version to teachers (if they are distinctly marketing the materials to be used IN the classroom)? I would love your thoughts and/or suggestions of resources where I can find out more about this. Thanks so much!
