Basically you have to track down the rights holder and ask. If they are feature films that are not actually released in the US market I think it would be very hard, but no harm in trying. If they are features that either were never released here or out of print, I would probably see if you can track down the originally VARIETY review which should list the original producer./production company.

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.
