I am appealing to the collective wisdom of the list.
Does anyone know if "The Story of Film: an Odyssey" by Mark Cousins has been made available for sale in this country? This history of film was serialized on Channel 4 in the UK and dvds (region 2) were released in England in April of this year. There is also a companion book of the same title released in the UK in 2004 and made available in this country in 2011. The film was written up in the NYT -See this link http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/01/movies/the-story-of-film-an-odyssey-by-mark-cousins-at-moma.html I have checked OCLC to find that only region 2 dvds have been released in the UK. Faculty are asking if we can purchase the film. Does anyone have any information on a potential release here? Any help would be much appreciated!

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.
