[Videolib] storage and preservation of 16 mm
We have a small 16 mm film collection of about 800 films--mostly struck in the 1960s- 1980s--which have been transported to the Main Library from another part of campus. I appreciate advice on the proper temperature and/or other guidelines in order to preserve the collection. Thanks to all, Lisa Flanzraich Media and Reference Librarian Benjamin S.

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.

Truthfully, I am not an expert about this, so I am relying on the experts on this list. Thanks so much for your help. Lisa Flanzraich Media and Reference Librarian Benjamin S.

[Videolib] Fw: Hannah Arendt Footage--Any ideas?
Dear Film Lovers, Hannah Arendt On Walter Benjamin 65 minutes, b&w I checked this is on World Cat. York University in Ontario is the only who has it. I am curious, is it normal for only one institution out a world-wide network to own an item dvd,vhs, etc.? Or, maybe it never was entered into the database? So, how do you get to watch it? Also, I just want to confirm: In general, library institutions are not particularly keen on doing ILL for media for obvious reasons, right? Much appreciation for your help.

Hi Lisa No Hannah on Film here, unfortunately. Gary The only two appearances of Arendt on film (at least US film) that I know of are: A long-out-of-distribution doc entitled The Exiles. A Michael Blackwood filmed lecture by Arendt on Walter Benjamin good luck!

YES! YES! YES! Keep film culture alive! Join the Film Forum (NYC) or Cinema Arts Centre in Huntington, NY, where its founder Vic Skolnick, who died about a year ago, now watches films in Cinema Paradiso! Join and support your non-profit cinema society so that it stays alive! Lisa Flanzraich Media and Reference Librarian Benjamin S.

The thought of trying to watch a movie or reading a book on my cell phone (I have an EVO) is unthinkable. I'd be blind!

Most of us will be the last generation to remember the joy of seeing old movies & art movies at a rep theater, library, college or film society. I am very old school. I rarely watch a film on DVD and I spent my off time going to weird little gatherings of old and mostly obscure films shown mostly in hotel banquet rooms. I argue often with friends who brag about watching some film they found on an illegal ( or heck legal) download. I get physically ill watching commercials advertising the latest cell phones showing movies on 1 inch screen. I am not a purist on format though I still love 16mm & 35mm prints. I am less worried about losing the social elements of film going like waiting in line or making a night of it, than I am the experience of seeing a film with a group of other people, most of whom you don't know. I can remember going to see THE THIRD MAN, I KNOW WHERE I AM GOING, IT'S ALWAYS FAIR WEATHER and others here in New York. I had actually seen all of them several times before, but it was and is special to see them with others, especially people who have NOT seen them. There is genuine electricity in the room. We have gotten "access" to probably tens of thousands of films via legal or illegal means while losing the entire experience of film going. Getting a DVD to watch on your lap top or even your home theater system of a previously rare or hard to see film is not remotely the same as seeing it in a theater and it is in fact NOT better than not seeing it all in my view. It is very, very sad. On Sun, Apr 10, 2011 at 5:22 PM, Dennis Doros wrote: This is definitely how I feel when we talk about the digital future.
