Dear Collective Mind,
Any help/insights for obtaining streaming rights for foreign feature films would be appreciated. We first check with Swank and then try to contact the distributor listed on the case. We did not have much luck getting rights for an Italian film studies course. See titles below. We can get the rights for these from Swank: Lina Wertmuller, Sotto sotto Emanuele Crialese, Golden Door (2006) Roberto Benigni, Life is Beautiful (1998) Sotto, sotto Time to Kill We could not get rights for these because we did not hear back, couldn't find who to write to. Roberto Rossellini, Open City (1945) De Sica, Bicycle Thief (1948) Monicelli, Big Deal on Madonna Street (1958) Marco Risi, Mery per sempre; trans.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
