They did not have their own portal so we streamed on our own. ASP does
not carry the film I was looking for, "Makers: Women Who Make

it go. ASP does sell streaming to some single titles (we bought
Milgram's Obedience by itself), but mostly they sell collections.

I have created a lib guide that lists everything we have licensed, and
has a separate list of just Swank titles. It is a lot of work to
maintain.
http://guides.lib.umich.edu/content.php?pid=397747&sid=3257199

We also include the note "U. Michigan streaming rights obtained." in

All of the Alexander Street Press titles also have direct links in the

Hi, this from Brian Block of Criterion Pictures USA about the
digitization charge they add to each film licensed for streaming. They

Hi Jeff,

I'm told that we unfortunately can't allow you to digitize your own
copies. We will need to provide them. I am told that if you book 5 or
more titles with us that we can go lower on the $50 per title charge.

Thanks, Brian

Hi Jeff,

We can offer titles for $205 for a full year. Costs $50 to make a
master which comes on a DVD in MPEG 4 format. If you book at least 5
at a time, cost goes down to $165 per title. Goes down to $125 per
title if you book at least 10.

Hopefully that is helpful, for starters.

[Videolib] Fwd: Film as memoir

Hi, I received this request from a prof and thought it would be fun
for the list. I thought of these documentaries, but I'm sure she is
also interested in feature films:

Capturing the Friedmans
51 Birch Street
Tarnation

Thanks,

..

I'm creating a new course on writing memoir, and I want to include a
couple of films. One that I haven't seen yet but that I think will fit
well is Stories We Tell, a documentary by Sarah Polley about her
deceased mother that incorporates the memories of a range of family
and friends and in the process reveals a great deal about those being
interviewed. Another possibility is Persepolis, based on the graphic
novel/memoir by Marjane Satrapi.

Do you have other films you could suggest that would fit this genre?
Films that raise interesting questions about storytelling, memory,
truth, conflicting versions of events, etc. would be particularly
interesting.
