[Videolib] MECHANICAL LOVE film subject featured as cover story of Sunday's New York Times
Paro, subject of the new Icarus Films documentary, MECHANICAL LOVE (http://icarusfilms.com/new2009/ml.html) featured as the cover story of Sunday's (7/4/10) New York Times. We're all aware of the emotional benefits of pet therapy. But what about a cuddly caretaker who runs on batteries? Japanese robot sensation, Paro, is now reaching U.S. shores. Read on to learn how Paro may redefine the world of elder care: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/05/science/05robot.html?_r=1 http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/05/science/05robot.html?_r=1scp=1sq=paros t=cse scp=1sq=parost=cse MECHANICAL LOVE examines the contemporary interrelationship between robots and humans, explaining the differences between a humanoid (a robot in the shape of a human being), an android (a robot that looks and moves like a human) and a geminoid (a copy of an actual human being). The film profiles Professor Hiroshi Ishiguro, an engineer at Osaka University who has created an eerily lifelike robot facsimile of himself; meets with Professor Takanori Shibata, the inventor of Paro, an electronic baby seal; and interviews a physiotherapist who explains how such interactive pets are being used as therapy in retirement homes. Filmed in Japan, Germany, Italy, Sweden, and the U.S., MECHANICAL LOVE explores the amazing worldwide advances in robot technology, the changing nature of the relationships between humans and their machines, the social benefits and dangers, and the universal human desires to love and be loved. Captures a future possibility where robots aren't cold, killing Terminators, but rather tools for people to find happiness, focus, and purpose. - Cinematical.com Learn more about MECHANICAL LOVE, the new Icarus Films documentary here: http://icarusfilms.com/new2009/ml.html Sylvia Savadjian Director of Marketing Publicity Icarus Films 32 Court Street, 21st Floor Brooklyn, New York 11201 Tel: 718.488.8900 Fax: 718.488.8642 syl...@icarusfilms.com www.icarusfilms.com www.twitter.com/icarusfilms www.facebook.com/icarusfilms 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.

Re: [Videolib] Update on American Indiana Film Gallery
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

[Videolib] The 32nd National Media Market
Haven¹t registered for the 32nd National Media Market yet? Don't miss the chance to be a part of this annual event that brings together content providers and professionals involved in the use of media in teaching and learning. Although the primary focus of the NMM is screening and evaluating motion media, daily professional development sessions further enhance the Market experience by keeping you abreast of current hot topics in educational media and helping you gain a national perspective on current media issues. Highlights of this year's Market: Jane Hutchison, William Paterson University, is facilitating a pre-conference discussion group. This is a follow-up meeting to an ongoing discussion about policies and practices for the distribution and delivery of digital video. This year's opening session will be presented by Faith Rogow, Ph.D., founding president of NAMLE (National Association for Media Literacy) who will demonstrate how new approaches to media literacy education make it possible for every school to create a culture of inquiry, using practical and easy-to-implement examples based on sound educational pedagogy. Christopher Lohse from The Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) will explain why the Common State Standards Initiative is important for the country. These common standards will bring about real and meaningful transformation of our education system to benefit all students. The first standards being addressed are English-language arts and mathematics in grades K-12. Do you want to learn how to use social media marketing to help your audience discover what¹s in your collection? Then attend Wednesday¹s session with Allen Chou, President of Passion River Films and an accomplished social media user. But the Market isn¹t all about 21st learning skills! Let¹s get to what really matters milk chocolate, dark chocolate and everything that goes with them. Sign up for the ³Sweet Kansas City tour² on Sunday afternoon, led by Brigid Duffy, former KC resident and long time Media Market attendee, who will spice your trip with bits of local history.

She tries to use all new titles each semester, and it can be a challenge for her to find a new slate each year. Any recent releases that come to mind would be greatly appreciated.

She is ONLY interested in feature films -- not documentaries. Thanks in advance, * Meghann Matwichuk, M.S.

Re: [Videolib] Collective Brain: Gender Issues in Foreign Feature Films
Thanks for all the great suggestions so far. To answer Elizabeth's question -- these are some of the topics the instructor is looking to explore over the course of the semester, so no, she's not expecting to find films that cover all these in one title. She's looking for a handful of films from different world cinemas from 2008 or so forward.

She tries to use all new titles each semester, and it can be a challenge for her to find a new slate each year. Any recent releases that come to mind would be greatly appreciated. Here are the topics / areas that are of particular interest for her: intersexuality, reproductive rights, marriage choice, prostitution, religion and cultural gendered practices. She is ONLY interested in feature films -- not documentaries. Thanks in advance, * Meghann Matwichuk, M.S.

Re: [Videolib] Collective Brain: Gender Issues in Foreign Feature Films
OK Here are a few: Women's Prison (Zendan-e zanan) (Iran, 2002) Directed by Manijeh Hekmat. Cast: Roya Nonahali, Roya Taymourian, Pegah Ahangarani, Golab Adineh, Maryam Boobani. Famously 'banned' for more than a year by Iranian authorities, this taboo-breaking film is based on Manijeh Hekmat's long fieldwork, among women prisoners in Iran. She depicts the lives of Iran's lost generation in the two decades since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, using the claustrophobic life of women behind bars as a metaphor for the entire society. Her protagonist, Mitra, is in prison for killing her violent stepfather. On the eve of a prison riot she confronts Tahereh, the new warden, whose dogmatic views she challenges fearlessly. Over the course of the next 20 years, Tahereh's attitude toward her prisoners changes and oftens, which reflects the country's shifting political stance. Eventually Mitra, aged and exhausted, is finally released, but Tahereh left behind, is now more like a prisoner herself. 106 min Osama (Afghanistan / Netherlands / Japan / Ireland / Iran, 2003) Directed by Siddiq Barmak. Cast: Marina Golbahari, Arif Herati, Zubaida Sahar. Based on true events, chronicles the story of a 12-year-old girl in Taliban-ruled Afghanistan who must disguise herself as a boy to save her family from starvation. The first feature film made in Afghanistan in the post-Taliban era. 83 min. A Summer in La Goulette (Halq al-Wadi; Un été à la Goulette) (Tunisia / France / Belgium, 1996) Director, Férid Boughedir. Cast: Sonia Mankaï, Ava Cohen-Jonathan, Sarah Pariente, Mustapha Adouani, Guy Nataf, Gamil Ratib, Claudia Cardinale. Youssef is a Muslim, Jojo is Jewish and Giuseppi is an Italian Catholic, and they are best of friends until each of their daughters swears to lose their virginity by a certain date. To make matters worse, each daughter sets her sights on a boy of a different religion, thus challenging an inviolable taboo and causing a rift between their fathers. As the families resolve their differences, the Six Day War breaks out in the Middle East, which will divide Jews and Arabs the world over. 100 min. Daughters of the Sun (Dokhtaran khorshid) (Iran, 2000) Director Maryam Shahriar. Amanagol, the daughter of a poor rural family in Iran, becomes Aman when her father shaves her head, disguises her as a boy, and dispatches her to another village to work weaving carpets. Her secret is jeopardized when a co-worker falls in love with her. 92 min. The Day I Became a Woman (Roozi keh zan shodam) (Iran, 2000) Director, Marziyeh Meshkini; script, Mohsen Makhmalbaf. A drama revolving around three portraits of women at three stages of life in Iran: A nine-year-old girl told she can no longer play with boys because she is now a woman, a young woman who enters a bicycle race against her husband's wishes, and an old woman who gains money and the freedom to do what she wishes with it. 78 min. Offsides (Afsaid)(2006) Director, Jafar Panahi. Cast: Sima Mobarak Shahi, Safar Samandar, Shayesteh Irani, M. Kheyrabadi, Ida Sadeghi, Golnaz Farmani. During the 2006 Iran-Bahrain match, the Tehran soccer stadium roars with 100,000 cheering men and, officially, no women. According to Islamic custom, women are not permitted to watch or participate in men's sports. Many of the ambitious young female fans who manage to sneak into the arena are caught and sent to a holding pen, guarded by male soldiers their own age. Duty makes these young men and women adversaries, but duty can't overcome their shared dreams, their mutual attraction, and ultimately their overriding sense of national pride and humanity. 92 min. Ten (10) (Iran, 2002) Directed by Abbas Kiarostami. Featuring: Mania Akbari, Roya Arabshahi, Katayoun Taleizadeh, Mandana Sharbaf, Ameme Moradi, Amin Maher, Kamran Adl, Morteza Tabatabai, Bahman Kiarostami, Mastaneh Mohajer, Mazdak Sepanlu, Reza Yazdani, Vahid Ghazi. Presents a portrait of contemporary Iran, as seen through the eyes of one woman as she drives through the streets of Tehran over a period of several days. Her journey is comprised of ten conversations with various female passengers, and shed light on the lives of these women whose voices are seldom heard. 90 min. Kadosh (Sacred) (Israel, 1999) Directed by Amos Gitai. The story of two Hasidic sisters living in the Mea Shearim area of Jerusalem. Rivka and her husband are deeply in love, but he obeys his rabbi father and divorces her after 10 childless years of marriage. Rivka's sister Malka loves a man who has left Hasidism after joining the army, but accepts the marriage her parents have arranged to the rabbi's assistant. 117 min. Or, My Treasure (My Treasure; Mon Tresor) (Israel, 2004) Directed by Keren Yedaya. Cast: Ronit Elkabetz, Dana Ivgy, Meshar Cohen, Katia Zimbris, Shmuel Edelman. Or, a pretty and popular Tel Aviv high school student, works nights at a neighborhood restaurant while taking her first tentative steps out of
