[Videolib] Kino Lorber Edu is excited to announce the free distribution of LEGACY OF A DREAM!
Kino Lorber and Richard Kaplan are proud to announce the support of Carnegie Corporation of New York and the Puffin Foundation for the free distribution of LEGACY OF A DREAM to every middle and high school in the five boroughs of New York on DVD. In addition, Kino Lorber Edu is offering the film for free streaming or download to every school in America at www.legacyofadream.com. To support these efforts, Kino Lorber Edu is launching an IndieGoGo campaign, the funds from which will provide free access for every student in America to watch LEGACY OF A DREAM. In addition to the 24-minute film, there is a free downloadable teachers' guide. LEGACY OF A DREAM is an original 24-minute film produced specifically for use in schools that uses selected footage from the 180-minute Academy Award-nominated documentary "KING: A Filmed Record; Montgomery to Memphis" to present a shorter account of Dr. King's non-violent campaign for civil rights and social justice. It uses only original newsreel and other primary material, unvarnished and unretouched, and covers the period from the Montgomery bus boycott of 1955 through his assassination in 1968. This film has a powerful narration spoken by James Earl Jones and provides an excellent overview of the struggle for civil rights and "the right to protest for right." Edmund W. Gordon, John M. Musser Professor of Psychology, Emeritus Yale University and founder of Head Start, after viewing declared, "...a splendid documentary. I would enthusiastically endorse the idea of making access to this material available to school children in middle and high school." Richard Kaplan, the producer, says, "This is an opportunity to acquaint a new generation with an essential chapter of our history. As the philosopher George Santayana has said ‘Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.’" Elizabeth Sheldon, Vice President of Kino Lorber, says, "LEGACY OF A DREAM is a rare resource of archival material that will bring Dr. King to life for a new generation." KING: A FILMED RECORD; MONTGOMERY TO MEMPHIS is a 1970 American documentary film biography of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.. The original newsreel segments are framed by celebrity narrators Harry Belafonte, Ruby Dee, Ben Gazzara, Charlton Heston, James Earl Jones, Burt Lancaster, Paul Newman, Anthony Quinn, Clarence Williams III and Joanne Woodward. When first released, it was shown in theaters as a "one-time-only" event on March 24, 1970 and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. In 1999, the film was deemed "culturally significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. -- Serena Koch Non-theatrical Sales & Marketing Kino Lorber 333 West 39th Street, Suite 503 New York, NY 10018 (t) 212.629.6880 (f) 212-714-0871 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.

(from http://facecouncil.org/tournees/) ABOUT THE FAIRY: "The Fairy deftly employs timeless slapstick within an absurdist-surreal narrative that recalls the work of Jacques Tati. A fun romp, this is highly recommended." - Video Librarian, 3 1/2 stars Dom works as a night clerk at a small hotel in the industrial port city of Le Havre. One night, a strangely dressed woman named Fiona arrives and claims she is a fairy. She grants Dom three wishes, and makes his first two wishes come true before mysteriously vanishing. By now, Dom has fallen in love with Fiona, and he proceeds to embark on a search for his elusive fairy. The third feature film by the gifted trio of physical comedians Dominique Abel, Fiona Gordon, and Bruno Romy, THE FAIRY presents a series of slapstick set pieces which hark back to the work of Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, and Jacques Tati.

[Videolib] RAW FAITH Video Librarian Best Doc Announcement!
We are thrilled to announce that RAW FAITH has been selected for Video Librarian's 2012 BEST DOCUMENTARIES list! The film is available with Public Performance Rights (PPR) and Digital Site Licenses (DSL) for educators and non-profit institutions from Kino Lorber Edu. ABOUT THE FILM RAW FAITH is an intimate and revealing documentary that follows two years in the private life of Marilyn Sewell, an outspoken and socially progressive Unitarian minister who has re-energized her Portland community. While serving a community that relies on her for wisdom and advice (on both personal and ethical issues), Marilyn struggles quietly with decisions about her own future. As she seeks to reconcile the commitments of her profession with a longing for intimacy and love, childhood memories of mental illness and alcoholism come back to the surface and must be dealt with before she can move forward. As Marilyn’s life unfolds in front of the camera (in real time), she shares her journey with remarkable candor, humor and increasing wisdom, ultimately leading her to an unexpected revelation of faith and love in all of its guises. CRITICAL ACCLAIM “This modest and unpretentious documentary nicely celebrates the dedication and honesty she has in common with many other clerics who serve quietly and selflessly. Recommended.” - Video Librarian "...it's refreshing to see a documentary about a normal grown-up who is struggling with problems of life and love, just as so many invisible others do." - The New York Times $189.00 -DVD – with PPR $499.00 -DVD – with DSL $599.00 -DVD – with PPR and DSL Visit our website to view a trailer: http://kinolorberedu.com/film.php?id=1216 Best, Serena -- Serena Koch Kino Lorber 333 West 39th Street, Suite 503 New York, NY 10018 (t) 212.629.6880 (f) 212-714-0871 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.
