Hi Videolib,

Who should be contacted about public performance rights for Paris is  
Burning? It's a Miramax film, distributed by Buena Vista. A campus  
group wants to show it.

  WOMEN ON THE FRONTLINE (series) Back 

  ''IT'' threatens the lives of more young women than cancer, 
malaria or war. ''IT'' affects one in three women worldwide and leaves them 
mentally scarred for life. ''IT'' is inflicted by a family member. ''IT'' is 
violence against women and girls. 

  First aired on BBC World TV, this critically acclaimed series 
presented by Annie Lennox and shot by all-women crews is a brutally honest 
account of a silent war of violence against females, being waged around the 
world.

  The seven films, in WOMEN ON THE FRONTLINE, tell the personal 
stories of courageous women who have survived abuses and want their voices to 
be heard.

 

Facts:
* At least one in three women has been beaten, coerced into sex or  
 otherwise abused in her lifetime, according to a study based on 50 surveys 
around the world
*A fifth of women report being sexually abused before the age of 15
*500,000 women die from pregnancy and childbirth each year: a 
number that has changed little in 20 years
*Violence against women kills more women than traffic accidents and 
malaria combined, according to World Bank estimates
*The World Health Organization has reported that up to 70 percent 
of female murder victims are killed by their male partners
*The prevalence of women in developing countries who experience 
violence during pregnancy ranges from 4 to 20%, according to the European 
Journal of Public Health
*In 48 population-based surveys from around the world commissioned 
by the World Health Organization, 10 to 69% of women reported being physically 
assaulted by an intimate male partner at some point in their lives

Subject: [Videolib] domestic violence documentaries

I am looking for documentary films on domestic violence, particularly any with 
a legal or criminal justice angle (not psychology, diagnosis or healing or 
social work or training videos).  Crime After Crime recently released by Roco 
Ed is a geat example which we intend to use.  I am wondering about other films 
in a similar vein.  

We already have:

Domestic Violence (2 part title from Zipporah)
Breaking the Cycle of Domestic Violence
The Healing Years
Battered Hearts
Battered Women (films for humanities)
Behind Closed Doors
Defending Our Lives
A Love that Kills
Terror at Home  

These will be viewed in class as part of a seminar on the topic.  I am trying 
to find more titles to purchase for the prof to view over the summer before 
settling on the chosen titles for the syllabus in the fall.  No movies or 
fiction films are wanted.  Thanks,
Matthew

Swank has the streaming rights so it'd be a good bet to start with them.

[Videolib] Domestic Violence Documentaries

2012-04-11 Thread Andrea Janes
Diva Communications has a really unique film about this subject. 

I BELIEVE YOU: Faiths' Response to Intimate Partner Violence (58 minutes) 
examines intimate partner violence and the reaction of clergy who often abuse 
or misinterpret scripture to blame the victim.

This extraordinary interfaith documentary explores the stories of survivors of 
abuse and the response of faith groups to address their needs. From prevention 
programs such as Healthy Relationships held at Camp Herzl in Wisconsin to 
healing programs at Mayyim Hayyim in Massachusetts, faith groups are exploring 
ways to support, advocate for and help aid the healing of those who have been 
harmed by abuse.
 
Nominated for two Emmys (Best Religious Programming and Best Editing). You can 
find more about I BELIEVE YOU, and watch the trailer HERE

[Videolib] documents or instructions on weeding Media

2012-04-11 Thread Bahr, Philip
Are there any documents available to assist non-media librarians with media 
weeding?  I'm doing a huge VHS weeding this year and I'm getting ready to send 
out a spreadsheet to my liaisons asking for their help.  I will include the 
usual information we include for other weeding projects, but I was wondering if 
there was anything out there specific to media or films?

Thanks,

Philip
