Re: [Videolib] Looking for old film "Lay My Burden Down"

[Jessica Rosner]

Indeed a happy ending.
Not to be greedy but this looks like a wonderful candidate for restoration
and wider availability.

 It seems to exist only in 16mm. There was a screening of it last year at

 holder to clear it from , that would be one way to find out.

   Good morning,

  A graduate student is looking for a copy of the 1965 film by Jack
 Willis, Lay My Burden Down.  It was shown on NET back in the 60's.  So far,
 I can only find four institutions that seem to have a copy.  None has it on
 VHS although I saw a record in World Cat for a vhs copy.  The only other
 format is 16mm.  Unfortunately, we no longer have a 16mm projector. And I
 doubt a library would lend their 16mm copy.

  Does anyone know if this film is available for ILL in a VHS format?
  Any information would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks.

Re: [Videolib] Looking for old film "Lay My Burden Down"

Dear folks,

Obviously, the best you can do is to borrow a 16mm and a projector or you
can try to get ahold of Jack Willis for permission to master a copy.
However, there's a lot more ways to go about this as well since it's just
for research purposes. This is where it pays to be a member of AMIA.

Since it was an NET production, you might want to try the Paley Center for

Re: [Videolib] Looking for old film "Lay My Burden Down"

[Jessica Rosner]

I kind of figured it came from you Elena. Jean I would suggest you get Mr.
Willis contact info from Elena and ask him if there is any chance VHS or
DVD copy. At least you will be going right to the source and I think this
also confirms that the Worldcat listing that NYPL has a VHS copy was
incorrect.

The 16mm print that was screened at BAM last year came from the Reserve
Film and Video Collection of the New York Public Library.  Permission to
provide the print for the screening came from Jack Willis who owns the
rights.  The student is always welcome to come to New York to view the
print here at the Library for the Performing Arts but we are, even with
permission from Mr. Willis, unable to make a digital or analog video copy.

I don't think there ever where any VHS copies. That Worldcat listing is
likely a mistake as it shows no copy held but that NYPL ( the listing) does
have 16mm.  Sadly lots of things never made to VHS or any digital format.
It seems to exist only in 16mm. There was a screening of it last year at
Brooklyn Academy of Music. You might try them to see if they found a rights
holder to clear it from , that would be one way to find out.

[Videolib] Looking for old film "Lay My Burden Down"

[Jean Reese]

Good morning,

A graduate student is looking for a copy of the 1965 film by Jack Willis, Lay 
My Burden Down.  It was shown on NET back in the 60's.  So far, I can only find 
four institutions that seem to have a copy.  None has it on VHS although I saw 
a record in World Cat for a vhs copy.  The only other format is 16mm.  
Unfortunately, we no longer have a 16mm projector. And I doubt a library would 
lend their 16mm copy.

Does anyone know if this film is available for ILL in a VHS format?  Any 
information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
