[Videolib] ALA Notable committee
Hi Everyone, Those of you who have come back from the National Media Market please keep in mind the ALA Notable Videos for Adults Committee. We are looking for some videos to consider for our final list. The criteria for nomination is as follows: Categories of videos that will not be considered are feature films and those videos directed at a very specific and highly specialized audience, such as clinical videos. High quality production values are understood as criteria for inclusion on the final list. The committee is looking for uniqueness of vision and execution in its selections. A title should meet at least one, and preferable more than one, of the following criteria to be included on the list: 1. The title addresses a new topic that has not been addressed in another program. 2. The title expands the viewers' knowledge of a particular subject. 3. The title clarifies or explains a difficult topic, making it understandable to a general audience. 4. The title promises to contribute significantly to the solution of a contemporary problem. 5. The title expands the boundaries of the video medium, or application of video in a new and unusual manner. If you are a librarian and not affiliated with a video producer or distributor, you can suggest titles for the committee's consideration. You do not be a VRT member to nominate titles. The nomination form is at http://www.ala.org/vrt/notablevideos/form If anyone belongs to another list serve that you think might be interested please feel free to share this.

Re: [Videolib] Documentaries about Families
Hi Alex, Pragda's catalog of films offers several titles from Spain and Latin American that address the sociology of the family including My Grandmother's House, a remarkably candid documentary on family life in Spain, modernization and generational change; Southern District (Zona Sur) a drama about a matriarchal family in one of Bolivia's most affluent neighborhoods dealing with impending social change and shifting aristocratic privilege; La Isla Interior, a Spanish drama about three siblings dealing with their father's sudden death; and;Before Opening Night, a poignant and hilarious portrait of an Argentinian family over one decisive weekend as they attempt to negotiate their egos with their marriage and artistic lives. You can also browse our catalog by the subject category family at http://pragda.com/films-by-subject/family to find other films that may be of interest.

Dear Alex, Freedom Machines has been used in many Sociology of the Family courses and was featured at the ASA conference in Denver a year or two ago.

Hi Franseca I allowed myself to put your query on videolib@lists See just a few of the responses that appeared on this list, I didn't see any on COLLIB@ala-org I believe Barbara summarized it well, if you have just a few emeritus professors then I don't see a problem, as a distributer/producer maybe even an advantage as most emeritus go and lecture in other Universities they will help spreading our film to other campuses that will purchase it. I believe the biggest problem arising from streaming is on-line international courses, here there should be some ruling. I had a request from an institute that does not have a campus runs International on-line courses, we came to an agreement that One Day After Peace will be available by password to students of a specific course and up-to 500 students, nothing has happened till now as the course is still not ready I propose that regular streaming license will be for Faculty, Staff, Students enrolled studying at the campus , not for on-line courses students, that of course can allow a student that went on Holiday to China to stream but not 5000 or million Chinese to stream.

Re: [Videolib] [collib-l] Remote Access to Library Resources for
I agree with Barb here. We are talking two different issues here. It is up to the film maker/producer/copyright owner to assure that the distribution agreements they make specify or negotiate territory issues. As a licensee, my agreement is with the distributor (unless the film maker/producer/copyright owner IS the distributor). However, if I want to offer a film via streaming rights to distance students and there is a licensing issue based on territory, I will be very likely to strongly discourage its use. I can't possibly license for every territory in the world for the distance students we have in Ethiopia or Thailand.

Most films are licensed by territory so a company in the US could not legally agree to allow access to someone in another territory. They would basically be breaking their contract and be liable to have it cancelled. I don't think the issue is a small number of students studying abroad though it would violate distributors contracts in many cases. I think the issue is the increasing number of satellite campuses and students that are overseas students not US students studying abroad. As someone who often works with filmmakers and rights holders who do in fact own worldwide rights I would still insist that any streaming license be limited to the US. There are clearly schools and programs that plan to have a massive presence abroad and I can't license to say Georgia Tech and have them stream a film to 5,000 students in China for the same price and that is assuming one even has the rights to sel Most US distributors don't even have those rights. I guess we can add this to the number of complicated rights issues that have to be negotiated.

Re: [Videolib] [collib-l] Remote Access to Library Resources for
Well I admit I am the resident cynic but I think you have part of the problem backwards. Nearly all contracts between rights holders and distributors do have language regarding territory, the problem is I don't think most distributors or filmmakers really considered this issue of streaming outside the buyers territory until very recently and probably in many cases not now. As contractual matter it is likely going to be the distributor who however unintentionally is in violation of their contract with the rights holder which means technically any deal they struck in which the film is streamed outside the territory is in violation and invalid. As a practical matter I don't see filmmakers demanding contracts be cancelled because of a few students outside the US but I know of few who might and the major rights holders of feature films almost certainly would ( I am assuming for this discussion we are talking about non-fiction educational media as opposed to anything from Citizen Kane Metropolis to 56 Up or Hoop Dreams). The issue is that some schools with I suspect more to follow are setting up very large programs outside the US with a large or even exclusive online set up. I would say that if not being able to stream a film outside the US is a deal breaker there may be whole swaths of films that won't be able to be used in classes including nearly all studio films and ironically foreign films. I realize this is kind of inside baseball stuff but I am pretty familiar with distribution contracts and they rarely allow companies to sell streaming (other) rights beyond a specific territory or in multiple territories ( Unless you count US Canada). There are exceptions but there is a long tradition of rights being contracted only for specific geographical areas.Just more rights fun to be sorted out I guess Jessica On Tue, Nov 19, 2013 at 2:49 PM, Foster, Jennifer fost...@uhv.edu wrote: I agree with Barb here.
