I am hoping that someone on this list can help. I want to do a May Day screening of Potemkin on 16mm at our library. I own two prints, one being the 1950 Mosfilm version, which looks nice and has narration and a score but is a butcher job of the film by most accounts, and another silent print which is of unknown origin and less visually appealing.
Is there an opinion on the most "authentic" or "true" version available on 16mm? How is the Blackhawk version (I have not seen it)? If you have a good print available to rent or loan, I am all ears. I can pay to ship and pay a rental fee, if necessary.

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.
