I've had a request that I look into locating -- if such a thing exists -- a film which addresses sustainability and/or green building practices *on college campuses.*
I have added more documentaries in the last 2-3 years on various environmental topics than anything else, and yet I don't recall ever running into this specific topic. I've got FH&S's film on the Solar Decathlon competition amongst college students, and I've got The Greening of Southie, but neither talks about sustainability efforts or green building projects *on* college campuses. I've poked around at Bullfrog, Landmark, Video Project, Filmmakers Library and Green Planet but am not really finding much. Bullfrog seems to come closest with its "The Next Industrial Revolution," which at least apparently includes a segment on Oberlin College along with several businesses, but it's a 2001 film, which I'm afraid will be a little too out of date. If you have suggestions, please send them along. I have a feeling this is a niche which hasn't yet been filled. Susan at Wabash
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.
