[Videolib] PPR for D-Day to Berlin

2011-09-29 Thread Wilcox, Jeremy
Hi Gail

Jeff at UMich is absolutely right. Please visit
www.bbcactivevideoforlearning.com and/or e-mail Carolina Fernandez (tel:
+44 (0)20 7010 2760) for full details of obtaining a non-theatric
licence (to include PPR) for any BBC titles.

We will either be able to handle the request directly, refer you to the
relevant authorized US distributor, or advise you if the rights are not
available.

Regards

Jeremy
Head of Sales & Licensing 
BBC Active

Good afternoon,
I need to contact BBC Worldwide Americas, Inc. to inquire about a PPR 
license for this title. A&E referred me to BBC. The BBC FAQs page does 
not include PPR information  Their "contact us" page provides an email 
box, but the description of what we need and why exceeds their 1000 
character limit, so my request won't send. We need this on fairly short 
notice (Oct 21), so waiting for a short, non-descriptive request to 
float around the corporate office for a few weeks is not an option. Does

anyone have a phone number for their switchboard or legal department?
Thanks,
Gail

[Videolib] Hulu plus

2011-09-29 Thread Shoaf,Judith P
Regular (free) Hulu has commercials, usually timed to the commercial breaks in 
TV shows. They used to be quite short and they are still shorter interruptions 
than on TV, but it does get tedious. There is a little timer in the corner that 
tells you how many commercials you will be watching and how long they will last.

Hulu Plus apparently also has commercials, but the website says:

Features limited advertising. Many movies have no commercial interruption** ** 
Hulu Plus is ad-supported to keep the price low, given the high licensing costs 
of current season TV episodes

I would bet that Criterion made the deal that the ads had to be kept to the 
beginning on their films, but I certainly don't know for sure.

Netflix does not have any ads when you watch a streaming film.

The packaging lists McGraw-Hill CRM as the publisher/distributor, but

Re: [Videolib] Video Cool Dev.Policies Covering Cost and Special Series

2011-09-29 Thread Ball, James (jmb4aw)
Hi Barb,

I'm glad to hear about your PPR program of setting aside some money to help 
students with their screenings, I've been thinking about doing something 
similar.  You mentioned that you set aside $1,000 for PPR and that student 
groups can apply for it with the criteria that the screening has some 
educational purpose.  Do the students apply on a first-come basis and then when 
the money is gone then it's gone?

Cheers,

Hi Debra-

We generally limit departments to no more than 25% of their library allocation 
for non-book purchases.
If the title seems multi-disciplinary, I'll usually pick it up with my video 
budget.  If it's pricey and rather specialized, we can split the cost between 
their account and mine.
For series, I usually look at per title cost.  They might have to wait awhile.

We've been getting more questions about PPR. Not sure if it's because less 
funding is available elsewhere, or if people are more aware that they need the 
PPR...
We setup up a small account of $1000 where student groups can apply for us to 
buy a film with PPR for them to do a screening. (Criteria: some educational 
purpose, not merely for entertainment)

Sounds like as much of your dilemma is internal funding structure as are the 
departments themselves.  Good luck.
I have to say that $650, it had better be for a great big public event not a 
single class.

It's something new we tried out last year - we started getting more requests 
from student groups. Not sure if other funding disappeared or if someone is 
paying better attention to copyright.
Thus far it's first-come.   Obviously, the money isn't going to cover more than 
a couple of PPR film purchases, but it's a way to funnel the requests.

One thing to try is show the student groups the films you already have with
PPR rights and see if they can use one of those. I have been working on a
few docs that are not available retail and can only be bought with PPR
rights, they may not exactly be
Transformers 3 , but they are  if I do say so myself very good feature
 films that did indeed play in a limited number of theaters as well as other
venues. Take all those titles you had to buy with PPR and see if group can
find stuff to program

Re: [Videolib] Providence Community Library (Rhode Island) is seeking 16mm films

2011-09-29 Thread Dave Dvorchak
My intended audience is film buffs / enthusiasts, I suppose, although
I'm going for anyone.

I've been a big fan of the theatrical film experience for a while and
that's something that has seemingly gone away here in Providence. No
more cool midnight movies, no upstart film societies, the 1-2 indie
theaters left don't even show actual film anymore (they show digital!)
so it's something I'd like to bring back. The last time I went to the
RI Film Fest a lot of the selections were being screened digitally
(most, I assume!). We're supposed to be this very artsy renaissance
city, "the creative capital" as they like to call it, but you can
barely watch a film on it's true format here!

This is probably not the case in Boston where you have a bunch of cool
theaters (Coolidge Corner, Brattle, etc) that still show great movies
on 16mm and 35mm. I find myself going to Boston quite often to catch
unique screenings! So what may work here may not work there.

It'll be a free series, and the films will be on 16mm, so it's not
something like screening of a DVD where the format is readily
available for anyone to usewhy bother going out to a library to
see a movie shown off a DVD if you can watch it at home on your TV /
computer / netflix / etc?

Our "find" has already garnered significant media attention:

http://www2.turnto10.com/entertainment/2011/sep/14/classic-films-discovered-library-basement-ar-738641/

http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/wrni/news.newsmain/article/0/0/1852868/news/Film.cache.discovered

http://thephoenix.com/Boston/News/127226-providence-community-librarys-16mm-surprise/

Advertising will be done with our website, facebook, newsletter,
blogs, and a good old fashion cover-the-town-with-fliers campaign, and
then whatever local media outlets pick it up as well.

Re: [Videolib] Providence Community Library (Rhode Island) is seeking 16mm films

2011-09-29 Thread Dennis Doros
Dear Dave,

Congratulations on the coverage! I can't remember the woman in charge of the
Rhode Island collective back in the early 1980s (I think she was there for
years before that), but if she's still around, it would a great oral history
to go with the collection.

And if you can find the original contracts, you might have some
life-of-print leases that still allow you to show the prints publicly that
are not on the list.

Best of luck with the film society. One thing -- the Eiki projector is good
but also make sure you have a decent (does not have to be expensive) sound
system to go with it. That's really the important thing, especially if an
older crowd comes as well.

Best regards,

Re: [Videolib] Providence Community Library (Rhode Island) is seeking 16mm films

2011-09-29 Thread Dave Dvorchak
Thanks, Dennis!

That is an interesting point about life of print rights that you bring up.

Dennis Green, who was the director for many years, got in touch with
me after seeing the piece on the 6pm news, so that'd be a good
question for him. I also know the woman you're speaking of, she was
featured in an old Providence Journal article on the Cooperative...the
little research I did tracked her down to working at a library
somewhere in CT (New Haven? Middletown? I should resume looking for
her!).

We do have a nice, loud, portable PA system that I can run the sound
through, which will be nice!

Re: [Videolib] media workflow change

2011-09-29 Thread Randal Baier
We've only got about 12 streaming titles at the moment so not much has changed. 
EXcept -- our collection development person has spent a lot of time looking at 
and tweaking contractual langauge that he hadn't done so much with DVD/VHS 
titles. Other than PPR wording on all formats. 

Our cataloging/acquisitions dept. has been downsized 3-4 staff in the past few 
years. I and others select, they process, we don't really have a "media dept." 
One effect has been the speed with which we can do original cataloging, since 
my colleague says I "demand" that we do fully analyzed cataloging (but that's 
an internal joking relationship). So I like contents notes, author/title added 
entries and uniform titles, is that so wrong-g?

Hi, 

1.) I’m interesting in how moving from VHS/DVD to streaming changed your media 
department workflow. For any of you who have moved this way, have you needed 
more staff or less ? 



And 

2) In this time of budget tightening, How has the personnel structure of your 
media department changed?
