Hello all, I am currently working as an intern on some film programming for an academic journal that deals with social housing issues and the built environment. I was hoping that some of you might have some insight as to the following:
1. We are working to incorporate a curated film programs or competition into broader events, and seek resources for developing a call for contributions or entries. Guiding texts or examples to illustrate the necessary components would be great. Distribution channels for an eventual document or promotional text would be helpful. I realize that this is not the typical purview of videolib, but I did have some experience in research and programming for film events as a graduate assistant in a media collection, and am hoping that others may be familiar with this process. I figured this also might be a good forum to consult about programming in an academic and research context. 2. More standard of queries to this list, we are trying to find films and directors dealing with housing topics, particularly with regard to social housing and the relationship of the built environment to public health and society. The scope is global, and could include short or feature length works. Any index that might be available would be of help, and any title or director suggestions are welcome. Thanks for your consideration, any replies can be made on- or off-list as you see fit. Please let me know if any clarification might help. Best, Nik -- Nik Dragovic MSLIS, Pratt Institute, 2014 Collections Assistant, New York University ALA Spectrum Advisory Committee, 2014-16 917.858.1659
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.
