[Videolib] Orphans In Space DVD

2012-07-03 Thread Walter Forsberg
Hi All-

Long-time listener, first-time caller...

I wanted to reach out to the list regarding a non-commercial educational
compilation DVD that my colleagues and I at the Orphan Film Project at NYU
produced earlier this year.

Orphans In Space: Forgotten Films From the Final Frontier is a 2-disc
set, featuring a vast array of 15 'orphan' films and videos from a dozen
terrestrial archives. It comes equipped with a full-color 40-page booklet
of essays, preservation histories, and general nerdery about the film
selections, as well as a pair of 3D glasses to boot. A new interview with
John Lurie (whose long-thought-lost Super 8 film, MEN IN ORBIT, appears on
the collection) by Andrea Callard is also included.

You can check out J. Hoberman's brief write-up of the DVD, here:

We have a limited number of remaining DVD sets, and are looking to place
them in circulating video collections at university libraries. Those
interested in receiving a copy can contact me, via email, off-list.

Many thanks,

working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication 
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and 
distributors.
