[Videolib] Videos about migration from cities to suburbs

[Sarah E. McCleskey]

Hi all,

The board members of National Media market received this question from Linda 
Crichlow White:

"I used to attend, with my husband Eric White, the media markets.   Certainly 
the vendors there have the greatest inventory of videos created!   I'm looking 
for a video part of which --if not the entire film--might discuss the movement 
from cities to suburbia during the mid-20th century."

Do you all have suggestions for Linda? You can contact her at 
lindacrich...@aol.com.

And while I'm at it, let me offer up a shameless plug for the National Media 
Market Conference, October 23-27 in Baltimore, MD (Embassy Suites, Baltimore 
Inner Harbor). We are planning a wonderful conference for you this year!!

Thanks,

Sarah
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.

Also come to think of it, CUL DE SAC has a bit at the beginning on the growth 
of the suburbs — from Icarus Films (http://icarusfilms.com/new2002/cul.html 
; also on Docuseek2, 
http://docuseek2.com/if-cul ).

I saw this on PBS in the afternoon on my weekday off, years ago, and it has
always stuck with me. It's an hour long, but it is thoroughly engaging and
packs a wallop in what feels like 15 minutes. "Building the American dream:
Levittown, NY" http://store.cinemaguild.com/nontheatrical/product/1323.html

You may be interested in this part of the series "Race: The Power of
Illusion," "The House We Live In,"
http://www.pbs.org/race/000_About/002_04-teachers-07.htm

"A City Is Born" looks interesting as well, though I haven't seen it to
recommend it: http://statemuseumpa.org/levittown/two/k.html Maybe not so
curiously, it is Levittown, PA, not the Long Island suburb.

“Hard Times: Lost on Long Island" looks fascinating, if not like a total
bummer, too. http://www.wnyc.org/story/221452-blog-long-island/

Best,
Elizabeth McMahon
