[Videolib] Mexican art documentary on DVD
Now available on DVD is the award-winning documentary The Renaissance of Mata Ortiz http://helpfundmymovie.com/page11/Buy.html, the amazing cross-cultural story of how an American adventurer and a brilliant, self-taught Mexican artist transformed a dying desert village into a home for world-class ceramics. When anthropologist Spencer MacCallum walked into a second-hand store in Deming, New Mexico, in 1976 and bought three pieces of pottery, he had no idea that he was about to embark on a journey that would help lead to the revival of an ancient art form and change thousands of lives. This is an inspirational story of an artist who overcame extraordinary poverty to become recognized worldwide for his incredible creativity and ingenuity. The Renaissance of Mata Ortiz http://www.mataortizmovie.com/ reveals how anthropologist Spencer MacCallum encouraged the self-taught budding master Juan Quezada to further innovate on the traditional designs of Paquimé ceramics, leading to the phenomenal and award-winning post-modern styles of younger artist Diego Valles. This DVD is ideal for students in: • Ceramics/Studio Art • Art History • Anthropology • Archaeology • Latino/a Studies • Social Entrepreneurship • Economic Development To see clips from the movie, please visit: http://helpfundmymovie.com/trailer/trailer.html To purchase the academic/institutional version, please go the film's website at http://www.helpfundmymovie.com/page11/Buy.html.

The footage capturing the creation of Quezada’s painstakingly precise designs is wonderful, and MacCallum and Quezada’s accounts are compelling. ‘The Renaissance of Mata Ortiz’ offers a fascinating look at contemporary Mexican art and culture.” * * Video Librarian* * Official Selection: Sedona Film Festival-Best Arts Film Archaeology Channel Film Festival-winner of 9 awards Durango Film Festival Cine Las Americas Film Festival DocUtah Film Festival Best, Scott Petersen Mata Ortiz Productions 12135 Mitchell Av. #348 Los Angeles, CA 90066 USA http://www.MataOrtizMovie.com http://www.mataortizmovie.com/ mataortizmo...@gmail.com (818) 642-6301 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.

[Videolib] Looking for film Bunny O' Hare, (1972)
Hello: I was wondering if anyone had any leads or a copy of Bunny O#39; Hare, It was released by American International Pictures in 1972, and stars Betty Davis, and Ernest Borgnine, also in the cast was John Astin. It is supposed to be campy and funny. Thinking of using it for my campy films night. I thought maybe MGM Burn on Demand would release it, since many AIP films have been coming out on that label. Any help would be appreciated.

You could always ask Swank who could ask MGM since they own the rights, but I would not hold my breath.

Re: [Videolib] quality check?
We check every DVD when it arrives, before it is cataloged. The policy started when it used to take a long time to get AV cataloged - not a problem now, but still good to find problems immediately. We don't find a huge number of problems, but it's bad PR if prof checks out a new DVD and discovers that it doesn't work in the classroom. Yes, malfunctions happen regardless, but awkward when they know it's a new purchase... Although I feel that we find enough problems to justify the process, I know that more time is spent on it than really necessary by a longtime staff member. In the future, I anticipate making it a student task where it's a quick check of a chapter or two. If in a pinch, we would probably only check the expensive titles. It's sadly possible that they might not get checked out for awhile, making it hard to determine if there was defect or if damage occurred later, and therefore a large loss if a problem is found later.

[Videolib] FW: anything new with Georgia State?
Just wondering . . . . I noticed that some universities have made changes to their copyright checklists based on the court decision. We decided to wait to see what, if anything, happened on appeal. I've not heard or seen anything, how 'bout you all?

Re: [Videolib] FW: anything new with Georgia State?
I am curious what kind of changes have they made in copyright check lists? Obviously I am interested mostly in how if at all this has changed in terms of media use. I don't think an appeal has been filed but it likely will be but it will take YEARS to wind itself through the courts. Remember GATT first became law in 1996. For reasons I never really understood it was only challenged years after it had already been in effect. it took several more years for the case to wind itself though the courts until Jan of this year when the Supreme Court upheld it.

Re: [Videolib] FW: anything new with Georgia State?
Fine with me. I don't know if that would actually hold up on appeal but I never had a problem with using a portion even a rather long one, however as a matter of law I can't see that being upheld. The few copyright experts I talked to were stunned that anyone would put an specific amount re Fair Use. The UCLA case remains on appeal but of course on issues that don't actually relate to copyright and as of now zero copyright issues ever got resolved by it which is why I am in fact very grateful for the Georgia State ruling even if I think part of it would not hold up if appealed. Thanks for the info.
