This is a cross-posting of a message I just sent out on the AMIA-L list, so forgive me if you're getting it twice. Thought it would be of interest to some of you.
Dave ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Forgive me if this is not of interest to the members of this list, just wanted to share.. I held a free 16mm screening of Eisenstein's "Strike!" at one of our library branches last night. A rather no-frills set up in the "community room" with two Eiki SSL-0s perched on top of a coat rack (yes) at the back of the room above head level, projecting onto the pull-down screen at the front. Folding chairs set up. As the film was silent, a live soundtrack was provided by Brown University PhD student and electronic recording artist "Blevin Blectum" (Bevin Kelley) through our portable PA system. 40 people showed up which is pretty good for a rainy Tuesday night. All were thrilled by the film and the sound. The print was a very nice one, such that a number of people remarked on the clarity and sharpness of the image and asked me afterwards if it was "new" and were astounded when I told them that it's probably 30-40 years old. Some pictures taken off the screen can be found here: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150794191129704.427096.540944703&type=1&l=8eb2a403ca They are not the greatest - taken on a Driod by my unsteady hand.

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.
