I'm new at this "finding the rights" thing, but it's needed for a film festival
that's happening relatively soon (too soon!), so your help will be appreciated!
The questions, I suppose, concern (i) whether any of the films we want are in
the public domain, and (ii) if not, how do I go about talk
A more basic question at least with the film you mentioned is how would
obtain a copy. Under the terms of the GATT treaty virtually no European
film made after 1923 would be PD. It is long and complicated explanation.]
Again I see no likelihood that this film is legally released in the US and

Thanks for that. I should point out that, for this initial year of the
festival, we're not talking about actual film reels, they can be shown on DVD.
There is no DVD with English subtitles, as far as I know, but we can have the
subtitles made.
Let's presume it's not public domain. If the DVD
Well it could take a LONG time to find the rights holder and it would cost
some money to make titles. I am not familiar with this film but I sincerely
doubt you have enough time or money to find it, make a deal and get a
titled copy. I did assume you would use a DVD. I would not even know where
to
Actually I'm referring to videos that are already reserved or
restricted to in-house use. We have cases where three professors
teaching the same course, without notifying us, have told their
students to watch a given title in a given week. Typically the
students start streaming in the day before cl
Like Matt said, we put them on Course Reserve for 2 Hour in Library Use. We
also have two group viewing stations set up for multiple students to watch at
the same time.

We're pretty much first come, first served... Not practical in terms of
staff or equipment to do otherwise.
Interestingly, such situations have occasionally been impetus for
licensing to stream, if possible.

I am investigating the availability and cost of PPR for "Russian Ark," a
Russian-made film released in the U.S. in 2002 by Wellspring Media, in
2003 by Fox Lorber, and in 2006 by Genius. However, I have been unable
to determine who owns the rights now. This film seems to be too young
to be an
I know someone who does have a contact for the Wellspring Library but
it may take me a few days to get her, so if anyone else knows you will
get it faster.

We duplicate as many copies as we need and put one copy up on an unsecured
server to stream to anyone who wants to use it.
NO! Just kidding. I thought that might get Jessica's attention.
ASU's reserve system allows a faculty member to assign the use period for
anything put on reserve,
What would happen if it WERE an "orphan"? If no one held US rights?
What then?

Jessica, I appreciate that, honestly.
Still, I'm really looking for help in finding the films we do want to show;
obviously, we could replace them with other films.
Any ideas?

There was a question last week or so about handling PPR info. I referred to a
recent survey and said I would find out more information.
I checked with the Kathy Edwards at Clemson University, author of the survey
about redistribution, etc. She asked that I direct curious folks to her

ideas on other films or tracking it down? I hate to be cynic but unless you
have thousands of dollars I would waste time on this one. Even if you found
the rights holder and they gave rights to show it for nothing you would
have to translate and title a copy which very likely not be in the formats
No one holding US rights does not remotely make it an "orphan", it merely
means the rights holder has chosen for one reason or another not to have it
under license in the US. There are tens of thousands, maybe more films made
outside the US that currently have no US distributor, heck likely 99% of
Dang I should have done some googling first. This film is out legitimately
in Italy through Christaldi films.
I have no idea if they own US rights but they definitely have to have
contact for the rights holder. As I have advised several times but polite
but firm. If they themselves do not own it be
Hi Chris,
In that case we might suggest that the professors ask the students to
organize themselves for a group viewing in the Library(we have some group
viewing rooms that can fit up to 12 people in them).
We also might do "manual" hold, where we take down the name of the student
and when the v
Thanks, Victoria. The reason I brought this up is because I was
reviewing Standard Operating Procedures and our rather elaborate
system for alerts and texting waiting students. It's most definitely
an added value, above and beyond, but some professors just ignore the
pre-planning part and the stude
Hi Chris,
Here is a brief description of our "manual hold" for 2 or 3 hour loan.
1) Mark down the necessary information & pass info to colleague who can
alter item records.
2) Create an item message: "Hold for [patron name] for 15 min (mobile:

Jessica, that's terrific! Tell me you didn't just find that on IMDB (or at
least that you had pro) - I didn't see that name there.
I've written them and will call tomorrow.
Thanks again!
