Hi
In response to the question regarding Changing Stages.the educational
rights to this title have expired and are extremely costly to renew, hence
the discontinuation of the content through FMG.

Hi Jeremy and all,
Expired rights is a major issue for us video librarians, one of the major
issues for me. I feel that this comes up even more so with performing arts
related videos, though perhaps it's just because I am a liaison librarian to
these populations in my current position.
What
A TGIF question!
Do Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, etc. have an educational institutions platform in
which the video librarians can select and purchase videos and then their
students and faculty can access those videos through log-in based on the
institutions' IP addresses? This would be great if it
Not bloody likely. It would literally be impossible for them to clear
rights to do this, and the technology would be daunting too. Now it would
be interesting if a school were to say subsidize membership for students in
classes where films on these sites were going to be studied.

Hello Farhad Moshiri,
I have not seen such a platform on Amazon. If you decided to purchase an
Amazon.com download title, it would come with licensing restrictions--

No but the last time I checked with iTunes their license permits faculty to
show the videos in class while the last time I checked on Amazon and Netflix
licenses they could not stream them in their classroom. It might be an
alternative for some films for faculty to use iTunes if you recheck the
Thanks Jessica. I thought so. The main point is having access to only videos
the library selects. Individual memberships do not limit the access to specific
videos. In addition, I'm not talking about public performance. These videos
would be accessed from home or in class. But I do agree there
Matt,
Are you interested in these practices in other countries? The Lover and the
Beloved and The One and the Many are films by anthropologist Andy Lawrence
about the Nath Yogis of Northern India. The former is about the spiritual
quest of an indian school teacher and the latter is the story
I know what you meant but it is just never going to happen. I think major
studio stuff will be on their own systems which you can access, indie
companies will let you buy it and do it on your system but even if you had
money and time for all that, you have tens of thousands if not hundreds of
Hi Matt,
Icarus Films has a good film on Francisco Varela.

Jessica,
i always appreciate reading your contributions to the listserv but sometimes am
perplexed by your statements. Kino Lorber, as you know, licenses many films
from foreign rights holders and in my experience they are never
particularly difficult. Whether it is the Murnau Foundation or
Well I was mostly referring to foreign films which do not have US rights
holders and that is actually the majority. Many but not all of the
popular foreign films have US distribution but again the vast majority of
non American films have no current US distribution including tens of
thousands that
I'd be willing to bet a buck that one of the major suppliers like Farhad
mentioned has an educational initiative by the 2014 NMM. Obviously it would not
have every program ever produced but there would be a critical mass of worthy
content. Any takers please reply off line.

Amazon had their educational initiative that was short lived, pre VOD, whose
name I can't remember. As a distributor, I am not really eager to hand over my
catalog to Amazon or Hulu or Vudu or Netflix due to the economics of the
business model and loss of direct contact with our educational

Hi all,
Are there any special considerations to make when discarding reel to reel
films? We are weeding several old films, but I am unsure of how to properly
dispose of them.

Please: Don't.
As a professional archivist whose business involves digitizing and
preserving films, that's my simple one word of advice.
Film, if stored properly, will outlast all other forms of media. And as an
analog material, it is impervious to technological obsolescence. You don't

Who can say? They may be the only prints available in all of the galaxy and
beyond, having not been digitally converted!

Junior,
Thank you for taking steps to save them.
If they are of the entertainment variety (i.e. non-educational), we might
be interested in them. We go around to local senior citizens apartment
communities with our film projectors, so they can see their old home movies
– or simply project an old
