I have been working with a number of independent distributors & filmmakers who have terrific films, but no ability to set up their own streaming systems. What they can do is sell lifetime rights. Films include an Emmy winner, films shown in Cannes, Tribeca, Toronto etc and with rave reviews from The New York Times to EMRO. From the earliest cinema (Melies) to current issues like gerrymandering and genocide, these films cover wide array of academic subjects. PPR rights are also included and all titles can be sold for use Canada.
The Flicker Alley Collection contains over 20 titles ( many multi disc boxed sets) produced in conjunction with some of the world's best archives and archivists, including highly regarded box sets of Melies, Chaplin (early years at Keystone), Soviet films of the 20s and many more. Check all their films out here http://www.flickeralley.com/educational/ GERRYMANDERING <http://www.gerrymanderingmovie.com/> is possibly the most timely documentary out there as each day brings another story of the state to state battle by both political parties to abuse the democratic process and protect their own power. "Highly Recommended<http://libweb.lib.buffalo.edu/emro/emroDetail.asp?Number=4887>" by EMRO Web site with details is here. http://www.gerrymanderingmovie.com/ The acclaimed Gacacca series on the aftermath of the genocide in Rwanda have between them won an Emmy, The Fellini Award from UNESCO and the Nestor Almendros Award from Human Rights Watch/ Save up to 60% on the purchase of the DVDs and 50% on lifetime streaming rights. http://anneaghionfilms.com/email/mnmk_nov2_2011.html Please take a look at the films and please forward this to faculty in the approriate fields ( Film Studies,English Art, Russian & French for Flicker Alley Collection) Law, African Studies, Women's Studies, Human Rights/Genocide Studies for Gacaca & Political Science, American Studies and American History for Gerrymandering. Films are available with lifetime streaming rights directly from the filmmaker or by agreement with the rights holder and no changes in distribution can effect your rights for lifetime streaming. Standard restriction is that films must be on a password protected system limited to enrolled students, faculty and staff.

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.
