[Videolib] Providence Community Library (Rhode Island) is seeking 16mm films
Greetings! My name is Dave and I'm the Office Manager and one of the program people (when the inspiration strikes me) for the Providence Community Library system (http://www.provcomlib.org) in Providence, RI. I wanted to put the word out that we're seeking loans or donations (preferred!) of 16mm films for an upcoming and ongoing film series. Primarily interested in feature-length pictures, especially if in good condition, but I would love to hear about any ol' films currently taking up space in your closets, back rooms, basements, storage units, etc. I can pick up and haul them out of your library in the nearby RI / MA / CT area, and can work out shipping arrangements if they're coming from a distance! We'll give them a good home and make them available to the people here who want to see them! Also will consider 8mm and 35mm (or any other odd format). Please get in touch with any titles you'd like to get rid of as I'm eager to hear! Thanks, Dave -- David Dvorchak Office Manager Providence Community Library ddvorc...@provcomlib.org (401) 467-2700 x2 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 between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.

Dave I can think of several places you might be able to borrow them, but you do realize that unless the film is in the Public Domain you have pay a rental to the rights holder?

Re: [Videolib] Providence Community Library (Rhode Island) is seeking 16mm films
Hi Jessica, Yes, we do have a Public Performance License through Swank which allows us to work with many films. I do know about many rental co's and also private collections that can be rented from, but am trying to pursue the "free" angle at the moment (as we don't have any money!). I found a large collection stashed away in a library basement recently and will be working off of that for now!

Re: [Videolib] Providence Community Library (Rhode Island) is seeking 16mm films
Let me see if I can put you in touch with some private collectors. I actually have a few cool ones myself you would be welcome to, but alas none would be covered by Swank. Not sure what they would charge for a service or what kind of paperwork they would need but I would be pretty sure the largest accessible collection of 16mm prints would be from New York Public Library at Lincoln Center On Wed, Sep 28, 2011 at 1:53 PM, Dave Dvorchak wrote: > Hi Jessica, > > Yes, we do have a Public Performance License through Swank which > allows us to work with many films.

Re: [Videolib] Providence Community Library (Rhode Island) is seeking 16mm films
Thanks, Jessica! I have talked to the people at the Cosmic Hex Archive (cosmichex.com) where I would pay a modest rental fee, and also a local guy here in RI, but other than that, am I'm still looking for private collectors!

Re: [Videolib] Providence Community Library (Rhode Island) is seeking 16mm films
Hi Dave, I think Jessica means that if the films will be shown to the public (which is probably what you're planning), then even if you OWN the film, you will still have to get permission to show it. BTW, we have checked our archives and cannot find any of our old 16mms. Perhaps one of the other librarians has already notified you?

Re: [Videolib] Providence Community Library (Rhode Island) is seeking 16mm films
I'd be really interested in any details you can share about the series itself--who is your intended audience, how are you going to promote it, etc? We actually have a 16mm film collection that I am fervently defending and if I could figure out how to get people interested in actually viewing any of it, that would be a great help to my argument that they are valuable resources!

Re: [Videolib] Providence Community Library (Rhode Island) is seeking 16mm films
Well in general the original purchaser would have had the rights but they don't transfer.

Re: [Videolib] Providence Community Library (Rhode Island) is seeking 16mm films
I'm getting confused here. As far as I know, as far as rights are concerned, it doesn't matter what format a movie is on, provided that, as in my case, it's for non-theatrical showings. For example, I can show (great) movies like Suburbia, Over the Edge, Maniac, The Wicker Man, Rolling Thunder and Over the Edge whether they're on 8mm, 16mm, 35mm, VHS, DVD, Blu-ray, laser disc, etc, because the studios / distributors / rights owners of those films farm that business out to Swank, MPLC, whoever, who then sells the license to us.. I agree that a lot of good films that I want to show do not fall under a license like this but I have had much success in the past by pleading the "poor public library" case to whoever owns the rights. It can work! Dave On Wed, Sep 28, 2011 at 3:21 PM, Jessica Rosner wrote: > Well in general the original purchaser would have had the rights but > they don't transfer.

Re: [Videolib] Providence Community Library (Rhode Island) is seeking 16mm films
My intended audience is film buffs / enthusiasts, I suppose, although I'm going for anyone. I've been a big fan of the theatrical film experience for a while and that's something that has seemingly gone away here in Providence. No more cool midnight movies, no upstart film societies, the 1-2 indie theaters left don't even show actual film anymore (they show digital!) so it's something I'd like to bring back. The last time I went to the RI Film Fest a lot of the selections were being screened digitally (most, I assume!). We're supposed to be this very artsy renaissance city, "the creative capital" as they like to call it, but you can barely watch a film on it's true format here! This is probably not the case in Boston where you have a bunch of cool theaters (Coolidge Corner, Brattle, etc) that still show great movies on 16mm and 35mm. I find myself going to Boston quite often to catch unique screenings! So what may work here may not work there. It'll be a free series, and the films will be on 16mm, so it's not something like screening of a DVD where the format is readily available for anyone to usewhy bother going out to a library to see a movie shown off a DVD if you can watch it at home on your TV / computer / netflix / etc? Our "find" has already garnered significant media attention: http://www2.turnto10.com/entertainment/2011/sep/14/classic-films-discovered-library-basement-ar-738641/ http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/wrni/news.newsmain/article/0/0/1852868/news/Film.cache.discovered http://thephoenix.com/Boston/News/127226-providence-community-librarys-16mm-surprise/ Advertising will be done with our website, facebook, newsletter, blogs, and a good old fashion cover-the-town-with-fliers campaign, and then whatever local media outlets pick it up as well.

Re: [Videolib] Providence Community Library (Rhode Island) is seeking 16mm films
Dear Dave, Congratulations on the coverage! I can't remember the woman in charge of the Rhode Island collective back in the early 1980s (I think she was there for years before that), but if she's still around, it would a great oral history to go with the collection. And if you can find the original contracts, you might have some life-of-print leases that still allow you to show the prints publicly that are not on the list. Best of luck with the film society. One thing -- the Eiki projector is good but also make sure you have a decent (does not have to be expensive) sound system to go with it. That's really the important thing, especially if an older crowd comes as well.

Re: [Videolib] Providence Community Library (Rhode Island) is seeking 16mm films
Thanks, Dennis! That is an interesting point about life of print rights that you bring up. Dennis Green, who was the director for many years, got in touch with me after seeing the piece on the 6pm news, so that'd be a good question for him. I also know the woman you're speaking of, she was featured in an old Providence Journal article on the Cooperative...the little research I did tracked her down to working at a library somewhere in CT (New Haven? Middletown? I should resume looking for her!). We do have a nice, loud, portable PA system that I can run the sound through, which will be nice!
