Dear Chris,
Even as a distributor, I'm disturbed by these emails but I do know that
producer/directors don't have as much experience in these matters, are very
protective of their limited income even if it means stretching the truth,
and so I give them the benefit of the doubt. I would just
I suspect they are genuinely clueless and I second Dennis on sending them a
copy of the copyright law dealing with
the Face to Face exemption. I think there are some people who know better
who try to claim that libraries and colleges must pay more, even if a film
has been released in the home
Dear Mr. Norelli,
While I understand that the library does not have the right to publicly screen
this DVD with or without an admission fee, US Copyright Title 17 does allow for

his legal advice.

And I've printed it out to adapt for my wide-eyed innocent director/vendor.
(Or did you copyright this letter, Chris?!) I'll just add a kind paragraph
about libraries having tight budgets and of course buying from Amazon when the
price there is the most competitive.

Stream the letter, stream it! ;-) Margery, I have to disagree about the
addition. No poor filmmaker (or distributor) wants to hear about how poor a
university is. I know its true these days, and I sympathize, but even a
bankrupt university can never be poorer than an artist (How does a folk

This is what I sent.
Feel free to use it as a template.
Thanks to Dennis, Jessica, et al. for the words and the encouragement.
I'll keep you posted

Does anyone have information about this four minute film from 1963?
Has it been transferred to beta sp, digibeta or DVD format?
Is it possible to rent for a special film screening?
Thank you.

I haven't seen it available (legally) on video, but there's a ton of 16mm
prints around and it's on YouTube. The best bet is Sony because it was
originally a Columbia release.
It should always be paired with a Norman McLaren short (most likely Begone
Dull Care) since that's what inspired it.
Thanks. If we can get our hands on it as DVD it is indeed paired with
Begone Dull Care.
Hopeful to get our entire program on DVD for seamless presentation so
clunky to switch formats.
I¹ll check with Sony.
Thanks,
Juliet
