Re: [Videolib] Film studies inc.
This why I dropped out of film school 25 years ago.

Re: [Videolib] Film studies inc.
True story. I was in a class one day on Film Noir. The same grad student I mentioned was teaching assistant and was explaining that big studios did not make film noir titles, they were only made by small budget studios. OK so forget The Postman Always Rings Twice, Double Indemnity, The Big Sleep etc. I decided there was no point in arguing and I snuck out to go down to an undergraduate class that was showing a film in the large Melnitz auditorium. I knew they were showing one of my favorites The Band Wagon and I would learn more about film noir from watching the wonderful Girl Hunt Ballet again than in the film noir class.

Re: [Videolib] Research on University 16mm Collections
Hi Elena and Chet- Northeastern University Libraries will be maintaining its small collection of feature films and important documentaries for the time being, but we will be making decisions about what to do with the remaining two dozen or so titles. As the University has not been maintaining/using 16mm projectors for years, and because we have replaced important titles in VHS or DVD, collection managers don't feel the need to hang on to much that is left. Some titles are on the Internet Archives. Some faculty members in Cinema Studies have mentioned showing 16mm films to their classes, but the reality and practicality did not converge. Students have been referred to us about using films instead of licensing them for rental, but this did not pan out for various reasons. As a longtime media librarian who was active in a Massachusetts Independent School Film Cooperative in the 70's, and who used to set up films, cart them around, and splice them, I have a great reverence for these materials. Our Archives retains 16mm films related to the University' history and special collections. We reformat them and digitize upon Archives' request. Some of these films are suffering from vinegar syndrome, which we obviously cannot touch. There is a plan afoot to digitize our old football films, which are in 16mm. My new goal is to try and get the 16mm projectors we have overhauled, so we can continue to play and reformat 16mm films, rather than outsource everything. I have tasked the question of the AMIA, but have not heard back, is there a list of rare and valuable 16mm films?? (I am not a member). Keep us informed about this!! Debra Debra H.

Re: [Videolib] Research on University 16mm Collections
Dear Debra, I didn't see it on the AMIA listserv, so I apologize for not answering there. Unfortunately, there's no master list and there's no way of determining without research. However, Elena is one of the experts since she did this for NYPL's vast collection. I would assume a lot of people on this listserv has a good idea on them too. Putting your list out there will get ideas from people on which may be important to save.

As the University has not been maintaining/using 16mm projectors for years, and because we have replaced important titles in VHS or DVD, collection managers don't feel the need to hang on to much that is left. Some titles are on the Internet Archives. Some faculty members in Cinema Studies have mentioned showing 16mm films to their classes, but the reality and practicality did not converge. Students have been referred to us about using films instead of licensing them for rental, but this did not pan out for various reasons. As a longtime media librarian who was active in a Massachusetts Independent School Film Cooperative in the 70's, and who used to set up films, cart them around, and splice them, I have a great reverence for these materials. Our Archives retains 16mm films related to the University' history and special collections. We reformat them and digitize upon Archives' request. Some of these films are suffering from vinegar syndrome, which we obviously cannot touch. There is a plan afoot to digitize our old football films, which are in 16mm. My new goal is to try and get the 16mm projectors we have overhauled, so we can continue to play and reformat 16mm films, rather than outsource everything. I have tasked the question of the AMIA, but have not heard back, is there a list of rare and valuable 16mm films?? (I am not a member). Keep us informed about this!! Debra Debra H.

Re: [Videolib] Film studies inc.
Not just literature, history is going that same route. Drives me nuts, you are getting a history degree, why don't you, I don't know, do some research. According the the article Film Studies students at UCSB take 14 units of theory versus 4 units of production, cart before the horse, that is just wrong. I'm not saying Theory is wrong or should not be taught, but man oh man that is just out of whack, and they don't think it is wrong.

As far as odd holiday films I have to go with the Ref with Dennis Leary, Kevin Spacey, and Judy Davis. The drunk Santa alone is worth it. John H. Streepy Library-Government Publications James E.

All part of being a librarian -- James Turner Rex Libris Transitus profusum est nocens! Wochna, Lorraine woc...@ohio.edu 12/16/2011 11:42 AM Dennis, I always forget that you went here! I wonder who your prof was? You know, I like the theory stuff and I think it has its place, but wow, some theorists are really intense. I agree the gaze is a real thing and Mulvey has a place, but sometimes I feel like I’m trying to understand particle physics. Btw, we have faculty that give those innocents first years Kristeva and Mulvey! Wow, I’d probably be working at Wendy’s now if that happened to me. lorraine @ ohiou All, I’m collecting ‘odd’ holiday films or films that are good for the holiday season, suggestions? I’m especially trying to not look so Christian, no offense to the Christians out there in movie land. thanks 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.

I'm especially trying to not look so Christian, no offense to the Christians out there in movie land. If it hasn't been done to death, how about Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. Very secular. Also, Get Crazy. It's got Lou Reed playing a Bob Dylanish singer, Malcolm McDowell doing the same for Mick Jagger, and a bunch of other rock stars involved in a New Year's Eve concert. My favorite character is the audience member who enters costumed as a reefer, then runs out of the theater at the end as a roach (three feet shorter, with his head smoldering).
