[Videolib] Help securing rights
Hello all, I am working with a faculty on a film series. The films below are what she would like to screen, and I'm having a heck of a time determining who to contact for pricing. First, do any of you know and second, is there a simple way of determining who has the rights? I know there is no 'one size fits all' - but any tactics would be appreciated. A few of them I think I nailed, but your input is welcome. Thanks for your time. The Syrian Bride, Kino Lorber, $349 Paradise NowWarner Independent Pictures?

Re: [Videolib] Help securing rights
I think if you are fairly sure you only need to show the film once (or during one short period) you should ask the distributors about pricing for that. I think faculty needs to be flexible when films are either unavailable for streaming or just too much that they consider either another title or actually trying to get students to a LIVE screening or checking it out of library or watching at library.

Re: [Videolib] Help securing rights
Dear Lorraine, If it's a one-time use, often a negotiation with the distributor will provide a lower rental fee -- especially if you talk with them on a continued basis. Or even being conversational with them just once. Edith Kramer of the Pacific Film Archive had a technique of just talking for as long as it took to get the price she needed. She was a great conversationalist AND she knew that sooner or later the booker would be anxious to get to other bookings. Then again, there's only one Edith.

Re: [Videolib] Help securing rights
Lorraine, I am confused. Do you want to show this at Athena? In that case Tri-State could help. I mistakenly thought you wanted streaming rights. IF you show them at Athena then you should START with Tri-State but give them all the info you have re rights holders. As it happens theaters do get much lower prices than schools in most cases.

[Videolib] Public Domain studio films?
Hi all, My library recently received a large donation of early studio films on VHS format. The majority were official releases, but I have two hanging out that came from one of those rare/vintage mail order video companies. The quality is not so hot - they look like low end telecine transfers. I don't know the copyright renewal status of either film, so I don't know if these are Public Domain or not. I haven't been able to find copies for sale on Amazon, with a quick Google search or listed in Worldcat - if these are legal PD copies and super rare I'd like to keep them, despite the kind of crappy quality. Does anyone have any info on the PD status of these particular titles or other resources I could consult? Should I assume that most majors studios renewed copyright on all their pre-1968 films or was it more case by case than that? * Pointed Heels (1929), William Powell, Helen Kane; Paramount http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0020278/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 * Happy Days (1930), Janet Gaynor, Charles Farrell; Fox Film Corp http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0020949/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_7 Thanks!

Re: [Videolib] Public Domain studio films?
These are copyrighted films the rights holder (which in the case of POINTED HEELS in Universal which ones Paramount films made between 1028-48) studios have not releases along with I would imagine tens of thousands of others. The copies you have are bootlegs. I have seen these titles online and at some of the film buff shows I go to so they are not unique in any way just pirate copies of films the rights holder has not released. There are studio films that are PD because they were not renewed but this is very rare and it is safe to assume anything made by a real studio after 1922 is copyrighted. One can do copyright searches on titles like this but it is expensive and really not necessary. The relatively small number of studio films that have gone PD are generally known and very widely available ( Say SUDDENLY or THE GENERAL) In fact many lost films like LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT, 4 DEVILS and whole lot of early sound Fox films are still copyrighted even if they don't exist.

Re: [Videolib] Help securing rights
Hi Jessica, Sorry to confuse all - I am looking to show these at the Athena Cinema in Athens, 1x, in the Fall of 2014. So no streaming rights. Thank all who responded. I will wait and see what Tri-State has to say on dollar amount. I still am curious on the best way to go about finding out who has rights to films. Some of it I can figure out myself, but some titles...not sure how to determine. I was curious if there was a 'good web site' for this type of info. Again, thanks - and the Athens International Film Video Fest starts Friday! http://athensfilmfest.org/ Come on by, if you are around!

Re: [Videolib] Help securing rights
Well in your case you are really looking for theatrical rights holder. IF the film was released theatrically than start with New York Times review. To be fair most on your list are tricky but in the case of Paradise Now you are better off asking Tri-State to go through Warner Bros.

Do you want to show this at Athena? In that case Tri-State could help. I mistakenly thought you wanted streaming rights. IF you show them at Athena then you should START with Tri-State but give them all the info you have re rights holders. As it happens theaters do get much lower prices than schools in most cases.

Re: [Videolib] Help securing rights
I have to say, it's expensive these days, but IMDB Pro has its moments -- especially since it includes the contact information for rights holders. It's not entirely accurate, but if not in the Times or Variety, it's a decent place to start. And, wow, it must be the 40th Anniversary of the Athens Film Fest. I was there for the second one, programmed numbers 6, 7 and 8 and was last there for number 10. And yet, no statue... ;-) Best regards, Dennis Doros Milestone Film Video PO Box 128 / Harrington Park, NJ 07640 Phone: 201-767-3117 / Fax: 201-767-3035 / Email: milefi...@gmail.com Visit our main website! www.milestonefilms.com Visit our new websites! www.mspresents.com, www.portraitofjason.com, www.shirleyclarkefilms.com, To see or download our 2014 Video Catalog, click herehttp://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0150/7896/files/2014MilestoneVideoCatalog.pdf?75 !
