Hi Mary Lou, I actually just finished watching this series at BAM Cinemas in Brooklyn. Music Box has picked up the rights to distribute the film in the USA but have been MUM on a DVD release educational or otherwise. You should check in with them: http://www.musicboxfilms.com/the-story-of-film--an-odyssey-movies-48.php Best, Ben Benjamin Crossley-Marra Zeitgeist Films Ltd. 247 Centre St, 2nd fl New York, NY 10013 P: 212-274-1989 F: 212-274-1644 http://www.zeitgeistfilms.com On Sep 13, 2012, at 12:34 PM, Mary Lou Neighbour wrote: 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 linkhttp://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!
