Hi Farhad,

We've been using these overlays on our CDs and DVDs for many years now, and 
have had no problems. Great care must be taken to center the overlay perfectly 
on the disc, to avoid imbalance. I believe a search of the Videolib archives 
will retrieve a couple of threads on this issue. Let me know if you have any 
questions, and I'll be happy to (try to) answer them.

Cheers,

[Videolib] The Tales of Hoffman / Studio Canal

2012-06-08 Thread Dave Dvorchak
I have acquired a stupendous (!!!) original IB Technicolor 16mm print of
this film, too good not to screen for the public.

Criterion did a DVD which is now out of print, they say the rights are with
Studio Canal but don't know who, or if anyone, distributes in the US. They
thought maybe Rialto Pictures but it doesn't look like it's in their
catalog.

Anyone have a Studio Canal contact? Do they have a US operation?

They used to have a US rep named Stuart Lessel (?) in LA and I hate to
burst your bubble or jump to conclusions but
Studio Canal is almost surely one of those  if you have to ask you can't
afford it places. Their standard fee for venues
to show a current film is 500 Euros per show according to several of my
customers. They are also not likely to be friendly to the idea of 16mm
print being licensed. That said I will try to get you a contact.

I would strongly suspect they screened it from a very old life of print
lease. I can tell you that the film has never had
regular  US film distribution and has been about the hardest Powell film
to track down and screen. However if

The leases were not transferable. The odds of Studio Canal catching  you
are pretty much nil but it would be an illegal show.
I am making some progress in getting you an email but you would be sending
it to someone in France.

One long shot would be to contact the Scorsese office or um DENNIS and try
to get in touch with Thelma Schoonmaker, Michael Powell's widow and
Scorsese's long time editor. She has no legal rights to the film but I
suspect if she asked Studio Canal to let you show an IB 16mm they might be

I am confused. Did your library itself buy a print with life of print
lease? They have not been all that common for a long time. Most studio
titles were sold for a limited number of years at which time they needed to
be renewed. In general it is not likely
that studio feature films had life of print leases, not sure about
educational titles.

Yes, Jessica, educational, documentary, animated, childrens and independently 
produced features are typically life of print, as acquired for public 
libraries. Studio feature length films, at least in my experience, such as 
Tales Of Hoffman would qualify, are almost without exception leased, usually 
5 years. And you better hold on to that paper work (as well as the paperwork 
for life of print titles), or else you risk dereliction of duty. David, you

[Videolib] ALA Annual GALA Sponsorship Requested...

2012-06-08 Thread scott spicer
Hi Everyone,

Just a reminder that we are still seeking vendor sponsorship for the ALA
Annual 2012 VRT GALA in Anaheim.  Sponsorship can come in the form of a
financial contribution or donation of DVD titles for raffle prizes.


*About the Gala at ALA Annual 2012 (Sunday, June 24 6:30-9:30)*
Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel, Trillium Room C

Drinks and hors d'oeuvres will be served along with a dynamic presentation
from Mark Quigley, Manager of the Research and Study Center at the UCLA
film and Television Archive and Stephen Davison, Head of the UCLA Digital
Library Program. Both these leaders collaborated to create the UCLA silent
animation preservation program. This program has produced a website which
offers eleven animation films from the silent era, for viewing online or
download along with the accompanying music files also available for
download. The films cover a variety of silent animation productions, and
are provided alongside authoritative technical and historical context.


If interested in sponsorship of this event, please contact myself:
spic0...@umn.edu


We would like to thank Alexander Street Press for their contribution and
Kino for donating titles.  Please don't let not being present hinder you
from supporting VRT in Anaheim!


Best,
Scott

No rights holder is looking for 16mm prints, they have been throwing them
out for years ( even if many did not make to the dumpster) I actually have
a number of friends who are looking and actively collect them but alas
rights are whole different issue. In this case you actually know who the
rights holder is which is better than many. For the record if you actually
end up dealing with Studio Canal or any major rights holder I would
actually LIE about the format. Tell them you want rights to show the DVD,
mentioning prints only upsets them and I am not kidding. It is barely
concealed secret among venues that program prints that if the rights holder
does not have a print  and you can find one , just ask for for the
exhibition rights for DVD. They are being paid for the rights to their film.

 I really hope you get this soon as i am writing you in distress. 
 I traveled down to Spain for an important program in Madrid and 
 unfortunately for me the hotel i lodged got caught-up by fire. All my 
 valuables including cash and cell phones were destroyed during the 
 inferno and the hotel's phone line was also disconnected. I will 
 explain details when i return. I need your financial assistance to 
 relocate to another hotel and also arrange for my traveling 
 documents. please let me know if you can be of any help soon.

 peace--Theo
