Re: [Videolib] Screening Licenses for Japanese films

Rhonda I checked two of these and assume the others are the same. They are Japanese Anime films that never got US distribution, my GUESS and it is only a guess based on experience is that the rights holders probably wanted more money than an American distributor thought they worth, I say this only

We're delighted that *Salam Neighbor *was so well received!! With the Syrian Civil War at its 5-year mark and the conversation around refugees, it's been an honor to work with this film. *Salam Neighbor* (2015, 75 minutes) is available on DVD, Blu-ray, and digital streaming through Tugg Edu. Disc

Re: [Videolib] Film about Syrian refugees

Several months ago, I wrote to this list asking for a recommendation for a film about the Syrian refugee situation on behalf of a faculty member. Salam Neighbor was recommended by several of you and we purchased it. The faculty member screened it in her classes for the first time today and

Re: [Videolib] Kevin Smith on the new GSU ruling

Hi Bob, The thing is, it's hard to take that ruling and apply it in a useful and practical way. The judge interpreted the 4th factor (market effect) using exceedingly specific information about each title, information only made available by the publishers during the discovery process. She did

Re: [Videolib] Kevin Smith on the new GSU ruling

Where is the firestorm? I guess no response means librarians agree with the ruling. As an educational producer, the fact that there was no transformative use is scary. However, the fact the judge put added wait on the affect on market value and GSU only used excerpts is a little reassuring. If

Re: [Videolib] using short films for an online class

The teach act does indeed cover fiction. The law reads “the performance of a nondramatic literary or musical work or reasonable and limited portions of any other work.” What it says is that teach covers (in their entirety, assuming all other conditions are met) nondramatic literary or musical

Indieflix has quite a few shorts. And is a cheap individual subscription. I've found films there that weren't available elsewhere. Ditto for Amazon Instant Video and Vimeo. https://www.indieflix.com/ Since the class is completely online, I'd look to Fair Use vs the TEACH Act. Since it's a

Hi Monique, A person's relationship to a university or lack thereof does not have any bearing on a fair use analysis. Fair use is a defense that is available to everyone, everywhere, so I would definitely encourage your patron to consider whether their use qualifies! On Tue, Apr 5, 2016 at 10:14

Hello Collective, A slightly different question. I have a patron, who is not associated with the university, who would like to use 5 seconds of a 60 minute film for a commercial project. Can that patron still use Fair Use guidelines? Best, Monique -Original Message- From:

Re: [Videolib] using short films for an online class

Hi Maureen, If it were up to me, since she would be using them in their entirety, I would try to secure rights. Have you checked to see if any are already available on YouTube or other internet streaming video sites? Sometimes for short films that is an option. This is just my opinion, so

[Videolib] using short films for an online class

A faculty member will be teaching an online class on the short film, and wants to use (obviously) a bunch of short films as part of the class. Meaning she wants to post them online. We have many of the films as part of DVD collections we've purchased--for example, Academy Award Nomanated Short
