Re: [Videolib] 16mm stuff

[Elena Rossi-Snook]

Your one-stop resource for 16mm:

http://16mmdirectory.org/presentation/supplies?page=1

NYPL mostly uses Urbanski.

As for a pop-up theater (which is an awesome idea), I'm hoping the folks at
Pratt Institute library chime in since they have in the past few years
mobilized to engage students with their 16mm collection.

[Videolib] WHY WE FILM: New Rewards, New Reasons to Give!

[Elena Rossi-Snook]

Pardon for the interruption and project promotion, but again thought this
might be of interest to this community:

There are only two weeks to go in our Kickstarter campaign!  If you're
grasping for reasons to contribute to the production of WHY WE FILM, let me
help:

We have new rewards!  Our friends in the Warner Bros. archives have donated
DVDs.  Famous paleontologist and evolutionary theorist Niles Eldredge will
inscribe and send you his latest large format coffee table book.  And ever
wonder what it's like to get a pitch approval or rejection letter from a
big-shot Hollywood producer? For $50, you will receive an authentic, signed
letter from Tony Ganz (GUNG HO) telling you either how great or how
miserable your fictitious project is.

And think about this: we live in a world that is simultaneously more
in-touch and more isolated than ever.  We communicate constantly, but we
don't really *engage*.  Kids are having to be taught how to shake hands and
make conversation, inter-personal actions we took for granted less than a
generation ago.   Online, conjecture is published alongside legitimate
journalism, obscuring the difference between the two.

So what does this have to do with *WHY WE FILM*?

In addition to advocating for film as an artistic and archival medium, we
are mindful of *how* this film is being made.  Our objective is not to
create divisiveness but to demonstrate unanimity.  There are no "film
people" and "digital people" in this picture.  As film advocates, we are
crafting a creative and physical space where, no matter the politics or
profession, we all agree on one thing: making film available is the right
thing to do.

Furthermore, we feel that our mission to do right by people in the film
world cannot end with advocating for access to celluloid.  We want to do
right by people, *period*.  So our reward buttons and magnets are 100% made
in the USA by the folks at Busy Beaver in Chicago.  Our glow-in-the-dark
cups are eco-friendly, recyclable and manufactured by a family-owned
business; they were purchased through a woman-owned business in the
Adirondack Park, one of the most economically disadvantaged areas in the
United States.  And our tote bags are made by either American Apparel in
Los Angeles or are organic cotton and are screen-printed by a small
business in Troy, New York.

So if you're considering whether or not you need to invest in a film about
Film, I can assure you that WHY WE FILM is also an investment in media that
is both informed and kind, two things we all need in 2015.

[Videolib] Help Support Media Democracy: WHY WE FILM

[Elena Rossi-Snook]

Hi, friends,

I'm posting here not so much to drum up business (although, obviously,
your donations
are welcome) but to let you know about the project since it's an issue
that, I have found, resonates with the library community.

So here's my pitch.  Check it out.  Share if you can.  Donate if you like.

We are all aware that the commercial standard for motion picture production and
exhibition has shifted from being film-based to digital.  Okay.  No big deal,
right?  Film had it's run- over 100 years!- but now we must move forward
with the times and adopt new technological standards...right?  Well, it's
not so simple as that.

Film as a physical medium is actually quite unique.  It's dependent on
photochemistry
which has a very different nature than the 0s and 1s of digital files.  It
demands handling and tactile manipulation.  It requires mechanical
projection to watch it and inspires biochemical feedback in the watchers.

And then there's this: film is the preservation standard.  It's
durable and lasting
and proven (remember those 100 years?).  If we want to be able to watch the
Classics in 100 years, they need to be preserved on film.  If you want a
family legacy, your images need to be put on film.  Even the most
technologically
savvy film studio is dependent on film to manage its assets.  Don't believe
me?  Just listen to the interviews we've collected, from archivists at
non-profits, museums and commercial outfits, the message is the same: we
need film.

And yet, with the cessation of widespread industry use, the
availability of film
is in jeopardy.

This is why the Association of Moving Image Archivists Film Advocacy Task Force
is producing the documentary film WHY WE FILM.  We are creating a platform
on which those who work with and are dependent on film as a physical medium
can bear witness to its viability as a production, exhibition and
preservation format.  We've interviewed film-makers, archivists,
cinematographers, projectionists, scientists, all of whom have told us why
it is that they choose to work with film.

We've started a fundraising campaign on Kickstarter, the proceeds of which will
help us complete the project.  We're shooting and finishing on film and, to
this end, have received support from Kodak, Panavision, the labs, and a
small army of film professionals, all of whom have donated products or services
because this project is so important to them.

We're only looking to raise $15,000. You can help us reach this goal
with a contribution
or by sharing this message with your community of friends and social media
followers.  Any funds raised above the goal amount will go towards
compensating the filmmakers, lab technicians, negative cutter, sound
technicians,
music composer and cinematographer.  You can find our campaign

Re: [Videolib] what is a good word for "obsolete" media?

[Elena Rossi-Snook]

Beautifully put, Judy.  This is one of the discussion points we'll be
addressing at the "AMIA@ALA" pre-conference in San Francisco (
http://connect.ala.org/node/232455), specifically during the section I'm
chairing titled Using Films.  I hope you don't mind my quoting your post
since it articulates so well the way I hope we all change- ever so
slightly- the way we think about accessing older media formats.

[Videolib] Search for Film Educators + Lesson Plans

[Elena Rossi-Snook]

Kind of a random question but I think this is the right group to which it
should be posed:

Do you know of an elementary or middle school educator who created a lesson
plan for teaching young children filmmaking/cinema/film
history-appreciation?  Said lesson plan would be ideal as a template for
instructing teachers today on introducing these subjects in the classroom.
For this particular project, the goal is, rather than hope that a filmmaker
is good at teaching kids, to connect with good teachers who are also
trained in filmmaking/film studies/film history.

Glad to receive your thoughts on teachers as film educators and filmmakers
who may actually be good in the [elementary school] classroom.

Re: [Videolib] Film discussion series - current trends

[Elena Rossi-Snook]

What an excellent example program, Nell.  I've sent this idea down to our
public library branch folks along with some recommended reading which I'll
suggest here as well since this type of program- a film with a panel of
experts and discussion- is actually the foundation of film service in
public libraries (called the "Film Forum" in the 1940s).  If you've got the
following oldies but goodies on your shelves or in reference, they're worth
taking a glance at:

Using Films: a Handbook for the Program Planner by James L. Limbacher (EFLA)
Making Films Work for Your Community (EFLA)
Leading Film Discussions: a Guide to Using Films for Discussion, Training
Leaders, Planning Effective Programs by Madeline S. Friedlander

and Film News is an excellent resource when it comes to learning about what
worked and what did not work in this type of series.  I especially enjoy
anything written by Grace Stevenson.

I suppose the caveat is that the mid-century audiences around whom these
works were written are different from audiences today, but there are some
things that will never change: a necessary finesse for what you show and
how and when you show it.  If anything, audiences today are super-saturated
with images and screens and so *are* looking for that  unique experience.
Imagine Neal Degrasse Tyson discussing INSTERSTELLAR!  I get goosebumps
just thinking about it.

[Videolib] For Programming: Doc On Need for 35mm

[Elena Rossi-Snook]

Hello everyone,

Pardon the cross-posting (and any breach of rules) as I'm casting a pretty
wide net on this one.

Julia Marchese made this really good film about the New Beverly Cinema in
L.A. (pre-Tarantino ownership) and the need for theaters to be able to show
35mm.  I normally don't dig docs like this but I really like this one.
It's not yet available for purchase but maybe there are those on this list
who would consider doing a collaborative film program with, say, your film
department.  The complete film can be previewed here: vimeo.com/101117027

Exhibition formats are 35mm, blu-ray, dvd, and DCP.  And Julia is available
to present the film in-person if her travel is funded (she's in L.A.).
Please contact Julia directly with any questions and to arrange a
screening: juliacmarch...@yahoo.com.

Cheers,

Re: [Videolib] VHS equipment obsolescence

[Elena Rossi-Snook]

I would first ask how obsolescence is being defined.  Does it still work?
Is the content and the performance still relevant/applicable?  It's safe to
say that VHS is no longer the market standard (duh), but there are titles
on VHS that never were (and, in the case of Kevin Brownlow's *Hollywood*:* A
Celebration of the American Silent Film* never could be because of
copyright) transferred to DVD.  And then there are the nuances of the VHS
"version"- not all titles across different formats are created equal.  The
current DVD of *The Grinch Who Stole Christmas* has been remastered with a
totally different color palette and Disney on digital formats is
practically a different species from the straight film-->tape transfers
they did for VHS release (artist's sketch lines on the original cell
animation have been digitally removed).  Format does not define quality and
merit and I still rely on VHS in the classroom [at Pratt]. So as long as we
need and desire to access the content (and, for some, the experience) of
VHS, the equipment will never become obsolete.

Re: [Videolib] Trying to purchase Attica

[Elena Rossi-Snook]

I'm happy to hear this is still being used in the classroom.  I also teach
with ATTICA (using the 16mm print), in my film history class, and find it
quite flexible as an instructional tool.

As for DVDs, I think Cinda is more open to making the film available on
request.  She just gave permission for the 16mm print to be screened at the
University of Chicago (
http://southsideprojections.org/cinda-firestones-attica-1974-screening-and-discussion/)
and her assistant did mention something about DVD copies for sale.  It's
worth giving her a call and asking.  Again, feel free to contact me
off-list for her information.

Re: [Videolib] 26 Hard-To-Find Movies That Remind Us Why VHS, DVD, And LaserDisc Still Matter

Not exactly supporting the notion of easy access, but FYI Charles Lane's
earlier work A PLACE IN TIME, which will appear as an extra on the SIDEWALK
STORIES re-release, and STREETWISE are available on 16mm at the New York
Public Library.  And we also have many, many videos (not the cult titles
listed here, though) that will never see a Blu-ray release.

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. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective 
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication

[Elena Rossi-Snook]

Hi, guys,

Thanks for the suggestions.  We've got the pre-print elements but condition
is questionable and I'm not taking any chances, am hoping to hoard as many
distribution prints as possible before sending the lot off to the lab.  I
have a bad feeling about some of the internegatives from the late 1960s.
There must be some other library out there that bought YFDC titles, too!

Cheers,
Elena

Re: [Videolib] Looking for old film "Lay My Burden Down"

[Elena Rossi-Snook]

The 16mm print that was screened at BAM last year came from the Reserve
Film and Video Collection of the New York Public Library.  Permission to
provide the print for the screening came from Jack Willis who owns the
rights.  The student is always welcome to come to New York to view the
print here at the Library for the Performing Arts but we are, even with
permission from Mr. Willis, unable to make a digital or analog video copy.

Re: [Videolib] 16mm film question

[Elena Rossi-Snook]

I forgot to mention in my haste to respond that the Film Advocacy Task
Force of the Association of Moving Image Archivists is proposing a
conference session for our annual AMIA meet on reintroducing 16mm in the
classroom.  We plan to raise awareness of the inherent value of the
original format, argue for access to that format and propose the new model
for success which partners librarians and educators with archivists.

So I do hope you provide these prints to your professor in need!  If you
cannot, have them contact me at elenarossisn...@nypl.org and I'll try to
partner them with another lender.

Re: [Videolib] 16mm film question

[Elena Rossi-Snook]

Hi, Matthew,

The New York Public Library does not do interlibrary loan for 16mm- too
risky!  But we are one of the few public access collections for this format
so we've devised a plan for getting prints to those who want to use them
outside of NYC.  We ship at the borrower's expense using FedEx Standard
Overnight and I ship only Tues-Thurs so that the print(s) do not sit in the
FedEx warehouse over the weekend.  I have a checklist of basic loan
requirements I can send you off-list if you like.

Re: [Videolib] Paramount ceases releasing movies on film

[Elena Rossi-Snook]

Hi, Chris,

The big, commercial multiplexes are all digital.  But independent theaters
are either hybrid exhibitors or in the process of fundraising for their DCP
equipment.  An active community of 35mm exhibitors does exist for a number
of reasons: the percentage of films available on DCP is very small and 35mm
offers a different experience from digital (which is actually marketable
and profitable).

[Videolib] Annual Survey of Public Library Film Collections

[Elena Rossi-Snook]

Hello, everyone!

Okay, so maybe not "annual' since the list time I did this was at least 4
years ago but nonetheless, I'm checking in to get a sense of what is
happening with film collections in public libraries.

Do we know:

   - How many public libraries still have 8mm or 16mm collections
   - How many public libraries are still lending from those collections
   ("lending" defined as in-house use, too)?

Please respond to this thread or to me directly at elenarossisn...@nypl.org.
And if you have any ideas on a better method for data collection, I'd like
to hear that, too!

Many thanks,

Re: [Videolib] What is in a name?!

[Elena Rossi-Snook]

Hello all,

I've contacted Mary Lou off-list but am now thinking that everyone enjoying
this thread may find it of interest: I touched on this very topic in my
chapter in Learning With the Lights Off
http://www.oup.com/us/catalog/general/subject/FilmMediaPerformingArts/FilmStudies/?view=usa&ci=9780195383843

Excerpted from that publication:

*In addition, the "film library" as it was conceived and operated before
the war*
*tended to be just that: a repository for films available for distribution.
There was*
*not necessarily an audiovisual support team or librarian to oversee the
purchase,*
*cataloging, and advertisement of films; to assist professors with film
selection and*
*projection; or to act as a liaison with administrators regarding classroom
regulations*
*hospitable to film use. Without this presence in the academic community,*
*the film library was often challenging even to locate. It could be a part
of the extension*
*division or located within the general library, within the school of
education.*
*in a variety of other departments, or maintained by administrative offices.
*

And:

*Many colleges and universities adopted the audiovisual service model and*
*name. The naming, or renaming, of the film library to an A- V department
signified*
*to users the intentions of the film library in a way that was more evident*
*than in the past: "Educational Materials Services Department,"
"Audio-Visual*
*Center," "Bureau ofVisual Instruction," " Audio-Visual Service Center."
This indicated*
*not just the presence of a film library on campus but also the availability
*
*of an array of services related to audiovisual methods and mechanics.
Finally,*
*'those elements that were deemed essential to the progression of film in
the*
*classroom had synchronized. The collection and use of 16mm films would
progress*
*until the 1980S when more portable and less expensive formats began to
dominate.*
*
*
I find consistent evidence from higher education institutions that we have
returned to a pre-war mentality, at least when it comes to 16mm film: fear
of the projector, lack of tech support, lack of projection-friendly
classrooms and, as you point out, lack of advertisement that a film
collection even exists.

Looking forward to working with this group on remedying the situation!

[Videolib] Does Your Library Auditorium Show 35mm?

[Elena Rossi-Snook]

Hello!

For those of you who work in institutions that show 35mm film, the Film
Advocacy Task Force of the Association of Moving Image Archivists (AMIA) is
here for you!  We support exhibitors choosing to sustain film projection
alongside digital cinema by connecting them with experts and resources.
 Project Film is an educational film series that will address the needs of
film exhibitors as they navigate digital convergence, with practical
information on securing prints and maintaining equipment.  We're in the
pre-production phase and would love to hear from you- your responses to
this short survey will help guide Project Film!

I invite you to participate in and forward to others the survey which can
be found here: *http://www.filmadvocacy.org/the-survey/*

[Videolib] Looking for 16mm Rental Library in Indiana

Please excuse the cross-posting.

I'm posting on behalf of a patron in Indianapolis, Indiana who is looking
for a 16mm collection from which he may borrow for home use.  NYPL does not
inter-library loan its 16mm films so I was hoping to direct him to a rental
library or circulating collection in his home city/county/state.

Re: [Videolib] Use of 16MM Films

[Elena Rossi-Snook]

Hi Vicki,

Not the official information you were hoping for, but this is the policy we
created for the circulating 16mm film collection here at The New York
Public Library:

We are not a stock footage library (I open with that line because then I
usually see the proverbial lightbulb come on), so any duplication of
footage must absolutely be licensed through the copyright owner.  If they
cannot locate the owner themselves, they must pay for a copyright search
through an independent contractor/Library of Congress.  In very few
instances, we have provided the physical material for duplication once the
copyright owner has forwarded explicit written permission for us to do so.

Re: [Videolib] Research on University 16mm Collections

Hi Chet,

What a coincidence!  *Learning With the Lights Off* is coming out January
6th with two chapters, authored by me, dedicated to 16mm collections in
public libraries and universities ("Continuing Ed: Educational Film
Collections in Libraries and Archives" and "A Select Guide to Educational
Film Collections").  Queens College is included.

I'm constantly updating the directory, which is woefully incomplete, so am
eager to hear from the institutions on this list!
