Hi Lori, Leslie Kussmann, owner of Aquarius, has been sick for some time. It has gotten to the point where she can no longer run the company. To my knowledge it has not been sold, simply wound down.

[Videolib] just noticing in amazon....
First time I've run across this message in Amazon... California's Lost Tribes explores the conflicts over Indian gaming and places them in the context of both California and Native American history. The film examines the historical underpinnings of tribal sovereignty and the evolution of tribal gaming rights over the last 30 years. It illustrates the impact of gaming on Indian self-determination, and the challenges that Native people face in insuring that their newly found prosperity will be there for future generations. The film also provides insight into the thinking and motivation of those who oppose the expansion of Indian gaming. Concern over gaming is especially heightened by the development of rural lands for casinos, often placing tribes at odds with organic farmers and tract-home developers as stakes are claimed in the rush for the state's last rural lands. California's Lost Tribes was directed by award-winning filmmaker Jed Riffe. Important note about pricing: If you are a professor or student planning on using the video in a classroom setting please have your academic institution or union purchase the video at the institutional price. Simply contact the seller for that information. This will insure that: 1) The institution has legally acquired the public performance rights to use the video as a curricular resource; 2) All faculty/students/members have access to the video and; 3) Independent filmmakers who produce videos such as California's Lost Tribes, and who depend on DVD sales to cover production costs, can continue to carry out their work.

Re: [Videolib] California's Lost Tribes
Actually I have been getting more and more reports from librarians about this kind of thing on Amazon and at the risk of incurring a certain amount of wrath I see similar language on many distributor web sites for films that are easily available at a retail price. Sections one and two are simply wrong. If you buy a film from the distributor or an authorized agent ( which one can presume in this case Amazon is) it is a legally acquired copy and thus can be used in a class, circulated by the library and used by pretty much anyone the institution wants, provided it is not shown to an audience outside the classroom, copied or streamed. I am not unsympathetic to point three , that filmmakers rely on the revenue from institutions to survive but I think though well intentioned they can't have their cake and eat it too. I have posted many, many times the only way to enforce this kind of individual Vs Institution pricing is by A. controlling all sales 100% from a single source and B. setting sales up with a clearly visible CONTRACT which they buyer must read and click along the lines of I have read and agree to these terms. Then contract trumps/limits standard copyright terms. For the record many filmmakers sincerely believe there is some kind of law requiring institutions to pay more to use films in classes. I am not saying it is true but many of them do believe this. As a buyer you may well want to find the cheapest legal copy and there is no prohibition on an individual buying a copy on behalf of an institution (unless it has written contract you must read and sign per above). I also think the flip side of this incorrect claim that institutions need special rights for classroom use, is the claim by some institutions that they need no rights to digitize and stream a film because it is for educational use I am actually hoping that since institutions will increasingly want to stream and since streaming is a right exclusive to the owner both sides can come to a deal where filmmakers get more money than a retail sale but give up more rights.

Important note about pricing: If you are a professor or student planning on using t he video in a classroom setting please have your academic institution or union purchase the video at the institutional price. Simply contact the seller for that information. This will insure that: 1) The institution has legally acquired the public performance rights to use the video as a curricular resource; 2) All faculty/students/members have access to the video and; 3) Independent filmmakers who produce videos such as California's Lost Tribes, and who depend on DVD sales to cover production costs, can continue to carry out their work.

[Videolib] Film / NotFilm
I don't know how widely spread this info is… Dennis Doros and Amy Heller are restoring another interesting film (they've just completed restoring Portrait of Jason by Shirley Clark) http://filmbysamuelbeckett.com/ Not only are they restoring Samuel Beckett's short film with Buster Keaton, with the first scene long missing, now restored, they are also producing a documentary about the making of FILM. What a daunting task! Way to go Milestone! deg farrelly, Media Librarian Arizona State University Libraries Hayden Library C1H1 P.O. Box 871006 Tempe, Arizona 85287-1006 Phone: 602.332.3103 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.
