Hello all, I have a prof that wants a copy of Birth of a Nation - we have 5 versions in our collection. He seems to think none of them are the 'right' one. I'm thinking Kino is the way to go - but your input would be appreciated:
The Birth of a nation [videorecording] / D.W. Griffith
New York, N.Y. : Kino Video, c1993
The birth of a nation [videorecording] / David W. Griffith Corporation
Chatsworth, Calif. : Image Entertainment, 1998
The birth of a nation [videorecording] / D.W. Griffith presents ; produced
under the direction of D.W. Griffith ; story arranged by D.W. Griffith and
Frank E. Woods
Kino on Video, c1992
The birth of a nation [videorecording] / produced under the direction of D.W.
Griffith
Los Angeles, Calif. : Delta Entertainment Corp., c2004
The Birth of a Nation, by Henry B. Walthall, Mae Marsh & Lillian Gish
(performer), by Gish, Lillian, Griffith, D.W., Marsh, Mae & Walthall, Henry B.,
directed by Griffith, D.W. (Kino International, 2002), 211:08 mins (accessed
using Academic Video Online)
But I may have to buy a new DVD from Kino?
Just checking which one is the 'preferred' production and/or is there another
production that I don't even know about!
Thanks,
lorraine

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.
