Dear Video Librarians, Even though it is July, Kino Lorber Edu is launching several new initiatives in anticipation of the fall. Many of you perhaps have noticed that we are now offering our new PPR releases day-and-date with our theatrical premiers. Films such as FILM SOCIALISM, CITY OF LIFE AND DEATH, and RAW FAITH were released with PPR on the same date that they theatrically premiered. Today, our latest release, EL BULLI: COOKING IN PROGRESS premiers at Film Forum and at select theaters across the United States and is also available for purchase with PPR. Learn more about El Bulli here: http://kinolorberedu.com/film.php?id=1209.
We are also proud to announce that we have revised our digital site licensing terms. We are now offering perpetual digital site licenses for most of our films as follows: A Digital Site License allows colleges, universities or libraries to encode, locally host and stream to their community on a closed system for the term of the license. Prices are as follows: - PPR $249 or $189 - PPR w/perpetual DSL $599 - perpetual DSL $499 In addition, we are offering all of our films for Community Screenings. Community Screenings allow universities, colleges, libraries and non-profits the opportunity to exhibit our films to non-admission paying audiences. Many times the filmmakers, or film subjects, are available for Q&A upon request. Let us know what your needs are and we will work with you to bring our films to your community. We highly recommend ARMADILLO, BEING IN THE WORLD and A GOOD DAY TO DIE. Also, if you would like to preview any film before ordering, let us know and we will provide you with a password to access an online screening room. We will also provide 10 white label DVDs with any PPR purchase limited to a single site for an additional $50. Stay cool and stay tuned for additional announcements. Best, Elizabeth Elizabeth Sheldon Vice President Kino Lorber, Inc. 333 W. 39th St., Suite 503 New York, NY 10018 (212) 629-6880 www.kinolorberedu.com 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.
