Deg, I have specialized in Jewish films for yeas and I know none of these titles. Do you have any information they were ever shown in the US. It is possible they showed at one of the many Jewish Film Festivals , if so they will keep contact info. Basically I think it is very unlikely any have US distribution so you are going to have to do some serious online research to find the contact info. You do have company names so you might be able to track them down but again since it is very unlikely any of them have US rights holders you will have to find the owners individually and negotiate a deal with them.
I will email off list with a good contact name who will likely know if any of them ever played in US festivals On Mon, Apr 16, 2012 at 5:57 PM, Deg Farrelly <[email protected]> wrote: > A colleague is working with a program that wants to hold a film series > this coming fall semester, and is looking for the following titles, with > PPR. > > I appreciate the collective wisdom of the group.

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.
