 Some of you have probably already heard that I have accepted a new
 position, and will leave NMM by the end of the month.

 The really good news is that Jessica Hammond will be replacing me. Jessica
 has been with The Video Project since 2010, has attended several Markets
 and has served on the NMM Board of Directors. Jessica will bring new energy
 and fresh ideas and the Market will continue to flourish with her
 leadership.

 It has been a pleasure to work with you over the last 10 years. I thank
 you for your support and patience with the inevitable glitches and
 unforeseen challenges (who can forget the broken pipes at the Mesa

 Hi Kim,

  

 A great idea and I have been haranguing vendors about an ?itunes? like
 store where all videos and video streams can be listed. For a book there
 are places you can go and do a single search by title, even for songs it?s
 easier, but video is like the Tower of Babal, hundreds (thousands?) of
 websites and no one place to search by title, subject, director, etc. Maybe
 they could use something like Summon to search all their respective
 databases. That way they can keep their independence and still be more
 discoverable.

  

 Best,

 Hello, Scott,

 Bullfrog Films offers Bully Dance, a short, animated film you may want
 to list in the resource guide for parents on the topic of school bullying.
 http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/bully.html

 BULLY DANCE is the third film in the ShowPeace series -- lively, animated
 films designed to explore issues of conflict and dispute resolution.  They
 are produced by the National Film Board of Canada.

 BULLY DANCE is a non-verbal film with a strong message about bullies.  In
 the film a community is disrupted when a bully victimizes a smaller member
 of the group.  Eventually, the whole community becomes involved in dealing
 with the bully, who is himself a victim in his own house.  Issues of peer
 pressure, accountability and imbalance of power are explored in a story
 that deals with a sensitive and pervasive problem.  It has special
 resonance for schools in the US today.

 Visually arresting and supported by a substantial study guide, the film
 also features a unique soundtrack of percussion instruments composed by
 Judith Gruber-Stitzer.

 BULLY DANCE was created by the Academy Award-nominated animator Janet
 Perlman. Janet also made DINNER FOR TWO, the first film in the ShowPeace
 series.

   Collective Wisdom,

 One of our Social Work faculty members is updating a resource guide
 directed towards parents on the topic of school bullying and has requested
 some materials that are not sensationalist or full of scare tactics.  I
 have not seen Bully, but it appears to have received tons of press coming
 from Weinstein, with the film's initial R rating and associated in-school
 anti-bullying movement.  The reviews I read have been mixed, with the
 greatest criticism being that the documentary is overly emotional and fails
 to consider the complex dynamics of school bullying, as well as backgound
 of the students featured.  More than one critic appreciated the attempt,
 however, calling for additional documentary films to be made that provide
 greater balance to the issue.

 Does anyone know of other quality films that perhaps I might recommend?
 Again, the audience for this resource guide is parents, so some of the
 educational media you may recommend may not be accessible.  Still, I will
 forward relevant suggestions to the faculty member.  Sadly enough, it
 appears this issue may be too new to our public consciousness for the
 material to develop.

 Best,

Re: [Videolib] Faculty request - new media technologies in a grassroots context

Hi Danette,
I think Landmark's newest release, Letters from
Iranhttp://landmarkmmedia.com/letterswould be a perfect fit about in
the ways populations are employing new
media technologies.  The Iranians were the first to tweet; they used
Facebook and posted YouTube updates after the 2009 elections.  Our film
pulls it all together showing how difficult it was to get their story out,
but they certainly tried.

 He would like something visually stimulating and attention-grabbing.  We

 Art and Music as Reflections of Time (VHS) 1986, originally 1974, which has
 parts on all of the eras

 Teaching Company’s Music Appreciation series of lectures (VHS) 1993

 Leonard Bernstein’s Young People’s Concerts (DVD)

 Various VHS and DVD productions on individual composers

 What the faculty member would like are interesting, dynamic presentations
 on all of the eras.  On OCLC, I found a Films for Humanities series, The
 CLEARVUE/eav Art  Music Series - 8 parts for $799.60.  It is not available
 on Films on Demand, which we purchase yearly.  Even though the description
 calls the series visually dynamic, all I saw in some of the various part
 previews was a talking head.

 I have checked a number of our regular vendors, and have found nothing that
 fits the bill.  Do any of you wise librarians have any suggestions???  Any
 help would be greatly appreciated!

 Hi, Ursula.

 The website asks for payment information now when I fill out the
 registration; I don’t see an option for ‘pay later.’ Do we need to select
 P.O. or check in order to delay ‘til next fiscal year, rather than credit
