The other day we were having trouble locating our copy of The 400 Blows and the student discovered in online. I saw her later watching it on her laptop. The "widescreen" was I guess about 8 inches wide. I had such a vivid memory of Antoine's giant face on the screen, the simple fact that this little boy with his little problems was being presented in this overwhelming, persuasive, unignorable way in that film. Watching it on a tiny screen seemed to me to destroy what the movie was about.
My son is in an improv clip on the web in which he is watching Avatar on his phone.... I have never seen I Know Where I'm Going on the big screen. That would be amazing. Judy
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.
