Re: [Videolib] BBC's Changing Stages on DVD?
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 do you recommend, from a vendor's perspective, us librarians do to preserve and make this material accessible?You may not believe it, but some of the performing VHS are extremely valuable pedagogical tools even 20 years after the fact! I have a quiet little blogpost on the Dancing series as an example to how much these materials matter. It's here: http://mediaservices.gmu.edu/?p=896 While libraries in the U.S. can explore copyright law for solutions to preserve material, I wonder if there is something we can do more concretely to put a cost figure on extremely costly. Let me know if you have any constructive thoughts, because maybe there is some small idea we can put our heads together on.

[Videolib] Streaming video question
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 exists or if it is possible at all to replace purchasing DVDs.

Not bloody likely. It would literally be impossible for them to clear rights to do this, and the technology would be daunting too.

Re: [Videolib] Streaming video question
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-- http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=atv_dp_tou?ie=UTF8nodeId=200026970 --which limit use of the video to a private viewing for you and your invitees. Use of a download by students in a class appears to be not allowed. We contacted Hulu.com in March 2013 to ask about library access. They informed us that the agreements with our content providers limit viewing of Hulu content to personal, non-commercial use only. I have no information about NetFlix. Michael S.

Re: [Videolib] Streaming video question
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 license.

[Videolib] Films on contemplative science, mediation, or yoga
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 of his guru and a deeper look at Tantric beliefs.

Re: [Videolib] Streaming video question
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 thousands of films where the rights holder either won't do it or will want too much money. The foreign rights holders are particularly difficult. If only it were like that commercial where the guy goes into the rundown motel in the desert and the clerk says their cable system carries every movie ever made.

Re: [Videolib] Streaming video question
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 Studio Canal, generally speaking the Europeans embrace the digital exploitation of rights both to the educational as well as the consumer markets if the windows are respected and the exploitation generates revenue. The same goes for domestic rights holders. I also think the day is coming sooner rather than later when PPR and VOD will be bundled together for the higher profile feature length docs. I am sure there will be plenty more discussion around these issues in Charleston.

Re: [Videolib] Streaming video question
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 did at one time. I recently ran across ENTRE NOUS which happens to be a favorite of mine and it like so many has been out of distribution for a long time. You can still find a DVD around but of course no way to stream short of dealing with someone in Europe I am also concerned about the windows as I am not really sure any of the major European rights holders is willing to sell lifetime streaming rights. I know Studio Canal MK2 turned down one of my distributors flat when they wanted to sell lifetime streaming rights on DVDs they had standard 7 and 10 year contracts on. Per above Foreign films expire with some regularity, sometimes they go out of distribution completely and sometimes they change companies and I don't believe streaming is anywhere near the same as selling a physical copy and again have never seen a contract stating US distributors can sell streaming rights past the term of the contract. The overall point though is that there are tens of thousands probably hundreds of thousands of films for which streaming rights are just not available.

Re: [Videolib] videolib Digest, Vol 71, Issue 63
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 customers. When Kino Lorber moves forward with a streaming platform, it will enable us grow our direct business, supply supplemental material and support easy student and faculty access rather than disenfranchise our business and by extension, our filmmakers. My perspective from the world of independent film distribution.

Re: [Videolib] Disposing of reel to reel films
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 need a computer to view them, just a projector -- or a lamp or the sun, worst comes to worst.' We deal constantly with clients who converted their film years ago to VHS – and threw the films out. Now, they are really sorry they did.

Re: [Videolib] FW: [slavcin-l] Fwd: [SEELANGS] Performance Rights
I only tried the first one but is a bitch. Basically seems not have played outside of Russia at all so you are really going to have to dig to find rights holder. It was in the Moscow Film Fest in 2010 so that might be your best lead. There appears to have been possibly legit release from Soyez Video but they don't seem to be around. You might just contact Mosfilm , it may not be theirs but they are so freaking dominant that they may be able to help you track it. Try the same with the 2nd title Sadly a perfect example of how hard it is to get ANY rights to most foreign films. It is not that they don't have rights holders but since the overwhelming majority don't get US distribution, tracking them down can be really difficult and this film is less than 15 years old, it usually gets worse with older ones.

Re: [Videolib] Disposing of reel to reel films
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 Chaplin or Buster Keaton film if no one has any 16mm, 8mm or Super 8 film they want to share. So of course, we're always interested in broadening our offerings. Rob Hoffman Priceless Photo Preservation 122 S.

Do not dump, dump, dump. What films are these? Who can say? They may be the only prints available in all of the galaxy and beyond, having not been digitally converted!

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 need a computer to view them, just a projector -- or a lamp or the sun, worst comes to worst.' We deal constantly with clients who converted their film years ago to VHS – and threw the films out. Now, they are really sorry they did.
