From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Katya Pereyaslavska Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2010 10:46 AM To: slavlibs Cc: Alexei Poretski; Keren Dali; Irina Ovis Subject: [SLAVLIBS] Chemodan Films Hi all, I wanted to share this amazing movie production involving Professor Thomas Lahusen from the University of Toronto's Department of History. Chemodan Films is a partnership, created in October 2005 by Thomas Lahusen (director), Tracy McDonald, and Alexander Gershtein in Toronto, Canada. The movies produced are absolutely marvelous and have a great comic streak to them that is very eastern European (especially the movie about foreign cinema, called "The Province of Lost Film"). Here is a brief description from the website: "One of the goals of our partnership is to produce documentary films on Russia, other territories of the former Soviet Union, and other parts of the world, which can equip scholars and the larger public with contents that help them to explore the cultural, social, and political complexities of past and present. Chemodan Films privileges topics reflecting on the "deep country," including geographical and social areas that are not part of the mainstream. Besides producing documentaries, Chemodan Films is also establishing an archival depository of original film material, both contemporary and historical." http://www.chemodanfilms.com/ I hope you all have a chance to enjoy these wonderful productions!

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.
