Greetings everyone,

A group here on campus was very interested in hosting a screening of 
Tighttps://youtu.be/eO7kJ0j4Qzw. Unfortunately the distributor declined our 
request. I just watched the trailer and it's fantastic looking, but that is 
making it that much harder for me to think of an alternative, similarly themed  
film that we could use in its place. Does anyone on this list have suggestions?

Thanks!

Re: [Videolib] Does anyone else own the Explorations of the Shadow World series?

Dear Meghann,
We checked our copy and it exhibits the same malfunction-you can't access the 
main feature. Let's get critical mass and ask for a re-issue!
Danette@Duke University Libraries
danet...@duke.edu

Dear Colleagues,

We recently ordered ShadowLight Productions' Explorations of the Shadow World 
10-disc set.  Two of the discs are giving us problems -- the menus are a mess.  
The Wild Party requires that you navigate a labyrinth of menu extras and 
'fast-forward' through content to stumble upon the main program, and Mayadanawa 
simply does not allow you to select the main program from the menu (reverts to 
dvd extras).  I'm wondering if others who've ordered this series have 
encountered the same problems.  (We've been told by the publisher that nothing 
is wrong with the dvds.  We've had more than one staff person look at each of 
these discs in different models of DVD players, and I'm sure our patrons would 
have just as many problems as we have had with them.)

Thanks in advance,

My library is looking into Films on Demand to replace our small video 
collection. I'd like to hear from anyone who uses or has used Films on Demand 
to give feedback on whether or not it's a worthwhile subscription. General 
feedback is welcome but I'd especially like to hear


· Do your faculty and students use Films on Demand? If so, about what 
percentage uses it?

· Are the videos recent enough and cover a broad range of subjects to 
match your community's needs?

· Are some subject collections better than others?

· Have you run into any problems when streaming or authenticating?

· What has been your experience in dealing with the customer service of 
Films on Demand?

· Overall, would you recommend subscribing to Films on Demand?

particular interest in new technologies in the context of war and political

folks not being able to keep to a tight turnaround. I decided that during the 
fall and spring semesters, I couldn't have our material out for that long. I, 
and I'm sure many others, do loan on a case-by-case basis when contacted

 Subject: [Videolib] ILL of Video: Was Hannah Arendt



 As a point of curiosity, I wonder do many institutions out there
 maintain a blanket no-lending
 policy on ILL of media?  Here at the University of Southern California,
 musical cds do go out
 on out on ILL but not our video materials. And currently there is no
 enthusiasm at all about revising this
 policy, but perhaps those institutions which do lend out their dvds on
 ILL could make a good case
 why institutions like USC should perhaps be more flexible...

 Cheers!

[Videolib] Canyon Cinema in financial trouble

[Danette Pachtner]

Forwarded by Danette Pachtner, Duke University Libraries, Librarian for Film, 
Video and Digital Media from the Frameworks,  Experimental Film Discussion List 
framewo...@jonasmekasfilms.com



A pdf of this letter can be read at:

http://canyoncinema.com/2011/03/31/important-message-to-the-film-community/



To the Film Community:



This is a very serious letter.  It was emailed to our filmmaker members and we 
would like to share this with the larger community.  It concerns the survival 
of Canyon Cinema. As most of you probably know, film rentals over the past few 
years have been steadily declining. This is a result of the proliferation of 
digital media. Many of

Canyon?s major filmmakers who have brought substantial income to the 
organization have now made their work available in digital formats. Many of our 
renters, especially in universities, no longer have access

to adequate film projection. Often after the purchase of a DVD, instructors of 
cinema studies continue to use the digital media and forsake the renting of the 
original 16mm prints. This is partly due to their own dwindling rental budgets 
and the lack of well functioning projectors.



In addition, a part of our annual income has traditionally come from bank 
interest rates. In previous years Canyon has earned more than $4,000 per year 
this way. In the past three years we have earned almost nothing in this area.   
We are also very dependent on the money collected from our annual distribution 
fee from our filmmakers.  Many filmmakers do not to pay their yearly fee. 
Canyon Cinema should be collecting more than $32,000

from its 320 members. Last fiscal year we collected approximately $21,000 in 
this manner.



During the past decades Canyon Cinema has been able to survive entirely from 
earned income generated from rentals, sales, distribution fees, bank interest 
and occasional donations.  Each year, since our inception, Canyon Cinema has 
been successful economically, albeit with a very small margin of excess. We are 
now in a state where we can no longer continue to operate as we have in the 
past. This is a very real thing.



World wide interest in our celluloid film collection continues to be strong. 
There are even indications of a resurgence of interest by a new generation of 
film enthusiasts, filmmakers and scholars. Last year our gross rental and sales 
totaled more than (purposely left blank). This is not insignificant. However, 
this is not enough to continue to run our business in its present form.



It is apparent that Canyon Cinema can no longer continue as it was originally 
conceived and changes need to be made that are appropriate to our present day 
and age. The Board of Directors and the staff have been working on solutions. 
However, after many discussions, meetings with advisors, and inquires made 
directly to people who might help us we find that we are at a loss to solve the 
problem. Currently Canyon Cinema is losing $2,000 a  month, approximately the 
amount of our rent. At this rate of loss, Canyon Cinema could be out of 
business within two years.



In short, we need any tangible help or advice that our community, or other 
contacts that might be able to offer. We mean this very seriously. The members 
of the Board of Directors and the staff of Canyon Cinema are experimental 
filmmakers like yourselves. We need all the help that our fellow members might 
be able to offer in terms of contacts or ideas. This is very important.



The five other major distributors of experimental film which are located in New 
York, Paris, Toronto, Vienna and London now receive substantial funding from 
government agencies on both a national and local level. These distributors, 
despite the fact they are 'small businesses' are recognized as irreplaceable 
cultural entities which like any other municipal arts organization such as a 
symphony orchestra need additional support in order to survive. This is far 
more difficult in the United States.



Here are some specific examples of experimental film distribution companies 
modeled after Canyon Cinema currently receiving substantial funding. The 
Film-Makers' Cooperative in New York City is currently funded by the 
Experimental Television Center as well as New York State

Council for the Arts. They have also received a life saving donation of free 
rental space. Light Cone in Paris is funded by several governmental agencies 
including Le Centre National de la Cinematographie, Le Ministere de la Culture, 
La Region Ile-de-France and La Ville de Paris. LUX in London is funded by the 
Arts Council England and the Leverhulme Foundation for Educational Activities. 
In

Canada the Canadian Filmmaker's Distribution Centre in Toronto is funded by the 
Canada Council for the Arts, Ontario Arts Council, The Ontario Trillum 
Foundation and the Toronto Arts Council. In Vienna, Sixpack Film is most 
generously supported by the Federal Ministry of Art, Culture and Education

Subject: [Videolib] Catholic movies 1940-1960

A faculty member asked me this question: from 1940's to 60's, there were many 
movies made with Catholic themes. Is there a source that tells how many movies 
were made during this period? I know Gary has a list of movies with religious  
themes. But I need specifically movies with Catholic themes made during this 
period. Thanks.

Subject: [Videolib] Community Question

Dear All,

I have a question for the collective: we have an opportunity to  
acquire two films, one is a documentary about women and pornography  
with interviews with many of today's pro sex practitioners, activists  
and scholars in the field. The second film is a collection of explicit  
pornographic films produced by women for women, which is being  
promoted as feminist porn. For reference, one of my interns saw it in  
a theater in Paris and it comes with a manifesto, which you may read  
below.

I have included descriptions of both  as before we acquire I would  
like to know how many of you would potentially purchase explicit films  
for your collection.  I believe these films are relevant to Women's  
Studies, LGBT and Film Studies, and are not 'just' pornography,  
although both qualify based on the content. Would the explicit content  
preclude you from purchasing?

Please let me know your thoughts.

Film #1
Unlike the abolitionist feminist movement, the pro-sex feminist  
movement, which began in the United States during the 1980s, asserts  
that representations of the body and of pleasure are areas that must  
be taken over by women and sexual minorities and that pornography must  
not be subject to control by the patriarchal state. It also calls for  
the legalization of sex work; female sex workers, porn actresses,  
strip teasers and lesbians have begun to speak out and to talk about  
themselves, generating a new culture that includes articles, books,  
films, documentaries, music, comics, artistic performances, etc.

Made up of about 20 interviews filmed in the United States, France and  
Spain, the documentary gives the floor to pro-sex activists and  
follows the evolution of the movement from the 80s to the present,  
from its pioneers and its successors to its proactive activists in  
France and Barcelona. It also reveals previously unknown images  
directly tied to the subject (excerpts from films produced by  
activists, updates on their activities, archives of their works,  
performances and street demonstrations, etc.)

Whether it's referred to as Pro Sex, Post Porn or queer, the movement  
is a creative and revolutionary one that calls on us to reflect on  
what a pornographic image is, what sex work is, what gender is, and  
what the whole point of feminism is. Disturbing, provocative and  
innovative, the film aims to play a saving role as it splits from  
popular discourse, which would have it that sex is best practiced in  
the bedroom, that women's dignity depends on their 'good' behaviour  
and passivity, that the only feminist themes to be debated are gender  
violence and the wearing of headscarves.

... allows us to see that activists are already occupying other  
playing fields, inventing other ways of having sex and of thinking of  
sexuality and gender.

Film #2

... is a 2009 collection of thirteen pornographic short films made by  
Swedish feminists and produced by Mia Engberg. The individual films  
are highly diverse in content, although many of them feature humour  
and different forms of queer sex. The creative decisions were based on  
a manifesto with the aim to create pornography that is non-commercial  
and follows feminist ideals.


The idea for creating the project emerged after Engberg and some of  
her friends had made Come Together for the Stockholm International  
Film Festival. It was a short film where each participants filmed  
themselves with mobile phone cameras while masturbating. Come Together  
received a large amount of negative commentary, primarily from men,  
who complained about the actor-photographers being unattractive. To  
Engberg, this was proof that pornographic films demanded that their  
female participants should be seen as pleasing to its primarily male  
audience.[1]

Manifesto
1. Beautiful the way we are

To hell with the sick beauty ideals! Deep self-hatred keeps a lot of  
women's energy and creativity sapped. The energy that could be focused  
into exploring our own sexuality and power is being 

Re: [Videolib] Media in Book Drops

[Danette Pachtner]

At Duke we request that patrons return videos to the media library (Lilly) 
only.  We do have a video drop slot that's just big enough for videocassettes, 
and we open the drop slot only during the times that we're closed.  Lilly 
houses the art collection, so we've always been unwilling to have a regular 
book drop for fear that big, heavy art books will be damaged in the drop 
process, not to mention the serious damage some of those bad boys could do in 
crushing fragile dvd cases.  So far we've had negligible damage to videos in 
our video drop.

At Tulane we request our patrons to return borrowed media to the Music  Media

ask they return it to the main circulation desk. We check media in returned to 
the main library circ desk each morning and back date it to the previous day to 
avoid placing late fines on something that wasn't late.
Some patrons do drop DVDs through the mail slot in the door to Music  Media 
Center and on occasion discs have slid out of their cases and gotten a few 
scratches but these are comparatively negligible.
The regular book drops are not checked with great frequency and on rare 
occasions we do find CDs that were dropped in there and as a result have 
cracked cases.

Hello Everyone and Happy Friday!  The issue of placing AV material in bookdrops 
has come up at my library, and I wanted to put out a quick, informal survey to 
my fellow VidLibbers in academic libraries to pose a few questions...

1) Do you allow for the return of AV materials (DVDs, VHS, etc.) via book drop? 
 If not, what are your reasons for not doing so?

2) If you do allow return of AV materials via book drop, do you have a separate 
book drop dedicated to media?

3) If you do allow use of (or have allowed use of in the past) of a book drop 
for media return, what (if any) challenges / problems have you encountered?
