I'm happy to hear this is still being used in the classroom. I also teach with ATTICA (using the 16mm print), in my film history class, and find it quite flexible as an instructional tool.
As for DVDs, I think Cinda is more open to making the film available on request. She just gave permission for the 16mm print to be screened at the University of Chicago ( http://southsideprojections.org/cinda-firestones-attica-1974-screening-and-discussion/) and her assistant did mention something about DVD copies for sale. It's worth giving her a call and asking. Again, feel free to contact me off-list for her information.

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.
