[Videolib] Harlem Nutcracker

[Steve Brantley]

Does anyone know if the recording of this 1996 performance was ever picked
up for distribution and made available? Worldcat shows me 3 items, 2 1996
vhs and one 2010 dvd presumably made from the tape. Below is the WCL
permalink and some notes from the record:

http://www.worldcat.org/title/harlem-nutcracker/oclc/655885028?referer=di&ht=edition

DVD created with permission from Actors' Equity Association.
Videotaped Nov. 23, 1996 for the Washington Area Performing Arts Video
Archive (WAPAVA) by James J. Taylor.

Good point, Jessica -- I missed that in the FAQs. 

L uckily, thanks to advice on this list, we purchased an ODDO multi-format 
player this year, so we can play PAL if need be, and other formats too. 

Thanks again.

I never heard of Arrow either. One issue would be if all the players you plan 
to use are multi system and can handle PAL format.

Re: [Videolib] Return of Martin Guerre

[Jessica Rosner]

This one has come up before. It is long out of print. There seem to be
perfectly legit new but expensive copies on Amazon. Not much you can do
when a title is out of print or as in many cases not even released.

Why not bite the bullett and buy the out of print new copy for $70. That
does not strike me as crazy and it is a legal copy as far as I can tell.

Unfortunate that Amazon does not police bootlegs especially with foreign
films. Pretty much any film from Asia is a bootleg copy.

Re: [Videolib] Question regarding streaming rights or access to Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin

[Jessica Rosner]

Actually Elizabeth NO Kino Lorber silent film on DVD is PD. All have
"special contents" protection. That is why Bret works so hard on them. Not
that it stops sleazeballs from stealing them and claiming they are PD and
to be fair in many cases if you stripped off the lovely scores they would
mostly be PD. Years ago some evil guy took a bunch of Kino, Image and other
silent films, stripped the scores off, copied and packaged them and sold
them all over the place and there was really nothing anyone could do (
though in fact a few had some copyrighted material in them) UNTIL same
jackass tried to sell old Elvis concert footage and claim IT was PD. Do not
mess with the Graceland folks. They put him out of business.

Re: [Videolib] Question regarding streaming rights or access to Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin

[Elizabeth Sheldon]

Yes, Alexander Street Press's Silent Film Collection almost exclusively 
consists of Kino Lorber titles, which as Jessica points out are frequently not 
PD. If you would like to stream the film without subscribing to the ASP entire 
collection, please let me know. We also offer DSL if you prefer to host on your 
server.


Best,

Elizabeth

they licensed a lot of titles from Kino so probably. Maybe Elizabeth will check 
in and confirm.

Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin

 

This version belongs exclusively to Kino Lorber and is not PD. I am sure you 
could check with them on fees.  
In general there is some confusion that films which may be otherwise PD have 
versions or specific copies which in fact are under copyright. The term used by 
the Library of Congress is "Special Contents Copyright" and as a practical 
matter in the case of silent films it almost always refers to the music score 
though there are some cases were there is in fact some copyrighted content. 
Short version is that BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN is PD but the version your prof wants 
and for which a great deal of money was spent restoring is under copyright and 
licensed by Kino

Happy New Year to All!

 

I received this question from one of our Music faculty:

 

“In 2007, a restored version of Eisenstein’s Battleship Potemkin was released 
on DVD with the original Edmund Meisel musical score, which had been lost for 
decades and was not included on many earlier prints of the film.  It would be 
great if the UTEP Library could obtain a copy, as this film is covered in the 
historical component of my class (which I might teach again in the summer).”

 

We are looking into getting a DVD version in the near future.

 

QUESTION:

 

Does anyone have any info regarding streaming rights for this title – or a 
vendor-based commercial streaming source (e.g.: online database)?

 

I was able to find this title on the Internet Archive at 
http://archive.org/details/PhantasmagoriaTheater-BattleshipPotemkin1925396 
posted under a CreativeCommons License as being “public domain” – but just want 
to double double-check before suggesting this to our faculty member for 
classroom/teaching purposes.  I haven’t checked the film for streaming quality 
yet – but I remember this title being discussed on this list a little while 
back as being PD.

 

Many thanks for any advice/suggestions both on/off list!
