Re: [Videolib] Dance film distribution

[Dylan McGinty]

Hi Laura,

First Run Features does quite well with our extensive Dance and Performing Arts 
collection, including many selections from the Dance on Camera Film Festival. 
And I know that some streaming platforms have had success with their dance 
films and collections.

If you have any dance films to recommend to us don’t hesitate!

Best,

Dylan

Subject: Re: [Videolib] Dance film distribution

Laura
I can only speak in general terms. Dance films do tend to do well and have an 
established niche. I think many filmmakers want to try to distribute their 
films directly and bypass  "established" distribution. Going through a regular 
distributor means they will theoretically give up half or more of the "gross" 
but it also means they will get into the more well known ways to get a film out 
there. In general most distribution companies for this type of film do not pay 
much if any "advance" and so I have seen many filmmakers or producers want to 
go the Kickstarter route ( which actually may also end up with regular 
distribution). I am not taking sides on this as there are trade offs but I know 
of many films where offers  were in fact made for distribution but then the 
impression was left that the film could not get "distribution"

Despite what many folks ( mostly outside of the film business) say is some kind 
of golden age for people to make and distribute films on their own as well as 
independent films in general . in fact it is more difficult than ever in many 
ways particularly in the educational market due to smaller budgets, fewer 
companies and an increasing desire for films to be on large collection 
platforms which are frankly not
a good deal for filmmakers.
Again I think dance films have a very healthy niche in both theatrical and 
educational market but they are going to suffer from the same distribution 
issues noted above as most documentaries.
PS I have watched a film recently about one the worlds most well known 
choreographers and here the producers are just waiting for the best offer which 
is understandable so there is lag time between completion and distribution even 
on "commercial" dance films.

Hello,

As some of you know, one of the reasons that I love being a media librarian is 
because I love dance.  Not only is the audiovisual medium critical to capturing 
dance, but understanding how the human form moves has been a part of cinema 
history since…well, a long time, from what I can tell.

I’ve been researching a lot of great looking dance films lately: winners of San 
Francisco Dance Film Festival, Dance on Camera, and others.  What surprises me 
is how few of these films seem to have distribution.  While I have seen many 
films on dance as a video reviewer, the films submitted for review aren’t 
always the same as those winning the awards at the festivals.

I’m particularly surprised that one film about a very famous choreographer I 
first learned of years ago is running an Indiegogo campaign for DVD/VOD 
distribution.  I would think that this film would have broad interest to those 
outside of the dance community, given that the choreographer has worked with 
Michael Jackson.

I’m simply curious and hoping to learn:
Why do many award-winning dance films lack distribution, while others don’t?  
Is it because dance is a niche interest?  Or are there other reasons?

I look forward to hearing your thoughts and creative ideas.

Laura

Re: [Videolib] Still looking for info on titles/rights holders that do not allow academic streaming

[Dylan McGinty]

With regard to HBO Documentaries, producers tend to keep DVD rights (Home Video 
and Educational), and in many cases producers have VOD rights, after a window,  
including Educational VOD.

As far as I can determine Sony Classics still will not directly license for 
streaming and has no arrangement with Swank or other steaming companies. Disney 
it appears does go through Swank
I am curious about HBO and Netflix in particular. Have folks been able to 
license something like GOING CLEAR or VIRUNGA?
I may have an opportunity to get the word out to the right holding community 
that they need to make as many of their titles as possible available for 
streaming by academic institutions so if you guys have any companies that you 
can think of that have been unwilling to do so . let me know. I realize there 
are single titles out there especially indies or foreign that have rights issue 
but I am trying to focus on places with significant collections that do not 
license.
you can contact me off list

Too lazy to look up the exact wording but the law says can be considered

Re: [Videolib] Looking for Film Suggestions

[Dylan McGinty]

Hi Anne,

Neshoba: The Price of Freedom is a great documentary, the true story behind the 
fictitious Mississippi Burning.  Free online previews available, as are a 
variety of streaming solutions.

www.firstrunfeatures.com/neshobahttp://www.firstrunfeatures.com/neshoba


NESHOBA: THE PRICE OF FREEDOM

In 1964, a mob of Klansmen murdered three civil rights workers in the small 
Mississippi county of Neshoba (a crime that came to be known as the 
Mississippi Burning murders).  These young men, two Jews from New York and an 
African-American from Mississippi, were in the Deep South helping register 
African-American voters during what became known as Freedom Summer.  Although 
the Klansmen bragged about what they did, no one was held accountable for 
murder until 2005, when the State indicted the mastermind of the killings, 
Edgar Ray Killen, an 80-year-old Baptist preacher and notorious racist.

Neshoba: The Price of Freedom tells the story of these three American heroes 
and the Mississippi County still divided over the meaning of justice 40 years 
after their murders.  The film takes an unflinching look at ordinary citizens 
struggling to find peace with their town's violent, racist past in today's 
America.

Hello Farhad,

I was reminded I did not include a useful link for regarding fur farms that may

http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/raccoon_dogs/ This is very graphic, and

As an addendum to your quote about the estimable man, I would like to pick a 
bone about the word virtually as many grammarians do also with the

enraging, head shaking, but true. Still true. In Wisconsin, as we read, baby

 Beagles are subjected to tobacco smoke, like we don't know that the effects 
are. What takes place in laboratories these days is nauseating. The arms of the 
Armed Services are the best though. Amputating goats without anesthesia, to see 
what happens, for purported field training during war, just the most perverted 
and heinous stuff imaginable. And all these are happening, still, despite 
outcries from legions of people worldwide. Oh, and never mind, it's been 
overwhelming affirmed that computer based modeling for testing is superior to 
testing on animals, whose physiognomy is not near enough ours to provide 
attestable conclusions. Geez, just for giggles, watch this, but get your 
kleenex out, because you'll be in a puddle at the end. You only need to suffer

  There is similar footage for beagles, the most popular animal for many animal 
testing, because they are so friendly and docile. It will make you cry like a 
baby.

I appreciate Farhad's inquiry, because I a librarian, and I am also a 
passionate lover of animals and am so acutely aware of how unprotected they 
have been, and still remain, despite global and local efforts to make changes. 
Most people are just ignorant, and don't know how abused animals are. Ignorant 
or vain, or hubric (I think I am neologizing a  new word) people don't know 
where fur comes from, how it's gotten, the suffering animals go through, people 
don't know there are dog farms in China for fur (look up raccoon dog), or dog 
meat, bear bile farms, dog fighting, let alone the basic food chain and the 
mass agri-business industrial complex (as mass and dense as Christie), the list 
of animal exploitations, indignities and atrocities stretches around the 
planet, summarily countless times. Thank you for bringing awareness to this, 
not a subject, but a litany of related substrated subjects.

[Videolib] FW: Copyright Course

[Dylan McGinty]

Posted on behalf of Claudia Hill, former Art and Architecture Cataloguer at 
Columbia University

Hello,

We're excited to be offering CopyrightX again in 2015.

CopyrightX will run for twelve weeks; it will begin on January 26. The 
application process for the online sections opens on October 15 and closes on 
December 15.

Please see the announcement below for further information; feel free to share 
it widely with your networks and to retweet the Berkman 
Centerhttps://twitter.com/berkmancenter/status/522411538439630848. You are 
welcome to share the announcement widely in channels that might reach potential 
students. We'd be grateful for your help in spreading the word.

Best,

The CopyrightX Team

***
The application for the CopyrightX online sections will run from Oct. 15 - Dec. 
15. See CopyrightX:Sectionshttp://copyx.org/sections/ for details.

CopyrightXhttp://copyx.org/ is a networked course that explores the current 
law of copyright; the impact of that law on art, entertainment, and industry; 
and the ongoing debates concerning how the law should be reformed. Through a 
combination of recorded lectureshttp://copyx.org/lectures/, assigned 
readingshttp://copyx.org/reading-materials/, weekly seminars, live 
interactive webcastshttp://copyx.org/events/, and online discussions, 
participants in the course examine and assess the ways in which the copyright 
system seeks to stimulate and regulate creative expression.

In 2013, HarvardX, Harvard Law School, and the Berkman Center for Internet  
Society launched an experiment in distance education- CopyrightX, the first 
free and open distance learning course on law. After two successful offerings, 
CopyrightX is an experiment no longer. Under the leadership of Professor 
William Fisherhttp://tfisher.org/, who created and directs the course, 
CopyrightX will be offered for a third time from January to May 2015.

Three types of courses make up the CopyrightX Community:

  *   a residential coursehttp://copyx.org/courses/harvard-law-school/ on 
Copyright Law, taught by Prof. Fisher to approximately 100 Harvard Law School 
students;
  *   an online course divided into sectionshttp://copyx.org/sections/ of 25 
students, each section taught by a Harvard Teaching Fellow;
  *   a set of affiliated courseshttp://copyx.org/affiliates/ based in 
countries other than the United States, each taught by an expert in copyright 
law.

Participation in the online sections is free and is open to anyone at least 13 
years of age, but enrollment is limited. Admission to the online sections will 
be administered through an open application process that opens on October 15 
and closes on December 15. We welcome applicants from all countries, lawyers 
and non-lawyers alike. For details, see 
CopyrightX:Sectionshttp://copyx.org/sections/. (The criteria for admission to 
each of the affiliated courses are set by the course's instructor. Students who 
will enroll in the affiliated courses may not apply to the online sections.)

[Videolib] MPAA backs anti-piracy curriculum for elementary school students

It was great to see many of you in Charleston last week!

I read this Los Angeles Times article this morning, and thought it was a good 
topic for the list.  The California School Library Association and the MPAA 
seem strange bedfellows to me...

Matt,

Are you interested in these practices in other countries?  The Lover and the 
Belovedhttp://www.der.org/films/lover-and-beloved.html and The One and the 
Manyhttp://www.der.org/films/one-and-the-many.html are films by 
anthropologist Andy Lawrence about the Nath Yogis of Northern India.  The 
former is about the spiritual quest of an indian school teacher and the latter 
is the story of his guru and a deeper look at Tantric beliefs.

She's pretty savvy about assuring that rights revert to Mirabai at some point, 
and might have retained NT/Edu rights from the outset.

It is highly unlikely her company owns it but good chance they can tell you who 
does.

Sadly directors rarely own their own films as it would require them in most 
cases to finance them.
