This is an off-list reply -- you can find the food-related titles on Docuseek2 by clicking on the Subjects tab in the left column of the home page, and drilling down into the "Agriculture and Food" section, and clicking on "Food". We have a few more titles than what you have licensed.

Hi Lisa,

Here's some highlights from the Icarus Films Food subject 
page:

Food Design - A look inside the 
secret chambers where designers and scientists are defining your favorite 
mouthful of tomorrow.

For the Best and for the Onion! - 
A verite documentary that captures the rhythms of agricultural life in Niger, 
and how the vagaries of market price and harvest can affect the most intimate 
personal decisions.

Examines the impact of the fast food industry on Third World countries.

Hamburger: Macprofit - A 
provocative expose of the machinations that drive the fast food industry.

Let Them Eat Cake - Against the 
backdrop of the "Texas Cupcake Controversy," this humorous documentary takes a 
close look at the processed food industry and at the ways that junk food and 
beverages are marketed to children.

Milk in the Land - How did milk 
become so popular, and iconic? An entertaining and innovative history and 
deconstruction of milk and American culture!

Our Daily Bread - A spectacular 
visual essay composed of epic tableaus, a haunting vision of our modern food 
industry, and the methods and technology utilized for mass

Red Persimmons - A visually 
elegant paean to the cultivation and harvesting of the sweet red fruit, and the 
disappearance of a traditional way of life in rural Japan.

Rice and Peas - The 
experiences of a Trinidadian restaurant owner in Brooklyn.

Seeds of Hunger - A global

may portend.

relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, 
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and 
related institutions. 

Re: [Videolib] Looking for documentaries about food

[Jessica Hammond]

Hi Lisa!

A few titles to add to the list... 

Against the Grain
Against the Grain slashes through biotechnology's propaganda, revealing the 
science and politics behind "transgenic" foods to show how biotech companies 
increasingly engineer what you eat to be compatible with their chemicals, but 
not necessarily good for human health.


Cafeteria Man
The USDA estimates 32 million school kids consume up to 50% of their calories 
at school, contributing to the obesity epidemic among young people. What does 
it take to reform school lunch programs, especially in larger school districts, 
and provide healthful, tasty meals to our nation’s kids?


Delicious Peace 
In a nation once plagued by Idi Amin’s reign of terror and intolerance, 
Christian, Jewish, and Muslim Ugandan coffee farmers have come together to 
challenge historical prejudice and economic hurdles by forming the “Delicious 
Peace Coffee Cooperative.” 


Fresh
Our current industrial method of food production is increasingly viewed as an 
unsustainable system, destructive to the environment and public health. But 
what is the alternative?


The Future of Food
There is a revolution happening in the farm fields and on the dinner tables of 
America – a revolution that is transforming the very nature of the food we eat, 
yet is little-known to most of us.


GROW!
With the average age of farmers in the U.S. currently at 57, it’s critical to 
encourage more young people to take up the plow. GROW! profiles a new crop of 
idealistic young farmers who have turned to the fields for a more fulfilling 
life, driven also by a strong desire to change how our food is grown.


In Organic We Trust
Most Americans now purchase organic food in some form, but don’t know what 
“organic” really means. In Organic We Trust follows filmmaker Kip Pastor on a 
journey to answer the essential questions about organic: What exactly is 
certified organic? Is it really better for us, or just marketing hype? Is 
organic the key to transforming our food system?


The Man Who Stopped the Desert
The Man Who Stopped the Desert tells Yacouba’s story, partly though dramatic 
reconstruction. As a young man, he fought the accepted wisdom of the 
traditional land chiefs who opposed his farming techniques. But Yacouba 
remained undaunted.


Nourish and Nourish Bundle
With beautiful visuals and inspiring stories, Nourish: Food + Community (26 
min) reveals the many ways food connects to our environment, our communities 
and our health. The film traces our relationship to food from a global 
perspective to personal action steps. A companion to the film, Nourish Short 
Films is a virtual encyclopedia of food issues, featuring 54 short, bite-sized 
videos with thought-provoking commentary and visuals. Subjects include: Food 
and Biodiversity, Food and Health, Supermarket Secrets, Why Eat Local, Fair 
Trade, Hunger and Obesity, Edible Education, and dozens of other topics.


One More Dead Fish
One More Dead Fish powerfully documents how destructive industrial fishing 
practices decimated the Grand Banks, once one of the most productive sources of 
seafood in the world. The film also tells the dramatic story of how local, more 
environmentally-friendly hook-and-line fishermen are battling factory fishing 
practices in order to survive in a globalized fishing industry.


Thanks!

First Run Features distributes some great films about Culinary Arts and 
Sciences.

Kings of Pastry- 
Filmmakers D A Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus secured exclusive access to shoot 
this epic, never-before-filmed test of France's finest artisans- the 
prestigious Meilleurs Ouvriers de France competition. The film captures the 
high-stakes drama of the competition in the quest to become one of the Kings of 
Pastry.

Somm- Somm is a humorous, 
emotional and illuminating look into the mysterious world of the Court of 
Master Sommeliers- one of the world's most secretive and exclusive 
organizations- and their intimidating Master Sommelier Exam.

Three Stars- Focusing 
on nine Michelin starred chefs from three continents, Three Stars depicts the 
everyday drama of life in gourmet restaurants and features exclusive interviews 
and behind-the-scenes access to some of the world's most talented chefs 
including Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Yannick Alléno, and Olivier Roellinger.

All of our food-related titles can be found at 
http://firstrunfeatures.com/educationalsales_food.html

In March, we will be adding four new titles to this collection: Boom Varietal, 
Wine Women and Friends, Eat This New York, and Guy Maddin.

Re: [Videolib] online Gaming purchases???

Hi Jo Ann,

I have nothing to add, but will be interested to hear how you fare. We 
had requests for some online-only games, but were not able to purchase 
them since our Acquisitions head determined that the license from the PS 
Store prohibits institutional use.  I'm very interested in hearing how 
other institutions have handled this.


Best,

Hi All,

I know some of you have experience with gaming. We've purchased a few 
here but have just received a request to purchase an online game that 
is accessed from a website. Before I attempt to contact and negotiate 
with them I wonder if anyone can share words of wisdom in this area. 
The game in question is The Novelist from store.steampowered.com


Many thanks!
