Great! From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Cathy Michael Sent: Tuesday, May 05, 2015 12:10 PM To: [email protected]; SRRT List; discussion list for the Law and Political Science Section of ACRL; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: [Videolib] Now Showing @ ALA: Killswitch | 2015 ALA Annual Conference
Greetings: In addition to CitizenFour http://alaac15.ala.org/node/30936 I'm so pleased that Killswitch will be shown! http://alaac15.ala.org/node/30938 Killswitch is about the battle for control over the Internet. Lawrence Lessig, Tim Wu and Peter Ludlow frame the story of two young hactivists, Aaron Swartz & Edward Snowden, who symbolize the disruptive and dynamic nature of the Internet. Their lives parallel one another as they free information to millions on the Internet, putting them directly in the cross-hairs of the most powerful interests in the world. Will this be a cautionary tale of what happens when you dare to take on elite power structures? Or will it be the spark that ignites a revolution that will redefine democracy in the digital age? Runtime: 72 minutes Preview: https://vimeo.com/104911615 I also see Regarding Susan Sontag http://alaac15.ala.org/node/30940 Should be great films to watch! Best, Cathy
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.
