Re: [Videolib] Alternative films to Tig ~ resilience Come Hell or High Water
Well, sorry folks, that was meant to go just to Elizabeth (Stanley) because bullfrog / docuseek2 distribute that film, which by the way is A Sea Change. I hunted it down after my brain sieve resealed itself. It's about ocean acidification, by the way, and has nothing to do with Ms. Tiggy.

Re: [Videolib] Alternative films to Tig
For what it's worth, I've seen the documentary Tig, am a big Tig Notaro fan, and was disappointed. The structure was pretty flat, more tell you how to feel than show you (with some really stale music cues / choices that kind of drag you by the ear). If you are familiar with her work, you don't really learn anything new. The group might do better licensing the audio of her famous Largo show -- a much rawer, more emotional, and complete experience in my opinion. But, it does bundle a number of topics that are pretty current in trying to tell her story. One additional angle that might be of interest for those coming up with alternatives is the issue of fertility -- the film documents her struggles to decide how to proceed with her desire to have a family while dealing with cancer treatment and the risks involved. -- Meghann Matwichuk, M.S.

Re: [Videolib] Alternative films to Tig
Thanks for the suggestion Barb. This is indeed an interesting looking film but they are looking for something with the incredibly broad theme of resilience. They group selecting the films are three very strong women and their film selections often end up being about women's issues and/or LGBT issues, although they are certainly not limited by this subject parameter. I have a few ideas lined up already but I was hoping there was something closer to Tig than what I've got already. -lisa From: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu [mailto:videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of Bergman, Barbara J Sent: Wednesday, August 26, 2015 5:20 PM To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Subject: Re: [Videolib] Alternative films to Tig Tig looks like a great film.

Re: [Videolib] Alternative films to Tig
Hi Meghann, We just reviewed “On Her Own” in our latest issue. It definitely seems to be about “resilience.” On Her Own (2015) 80 min. DVD: $59.95 ($250 w/PPR from edu.passionriver.com). Passion River (avail. from most distributors on Sept. 22). A remarkable documentary charting four years in the life of a fifth-generation rancher-farmer named Nancy Prebilich, filmmaker Morgan Schmidt-Feng’s On Her Own tells a haunting, tragic story about the fate of family farms in America today. The story begins in 2009, at the beginning of the Great Recession, as Nancy, her parents, and her sister’s family—all sharing a large farm with horses, pigs, cows, fowl, and rabbits—begin to feel the pinch of a collapsing economy. Nancy, single and youthful, is unafraid of hard, physical work and being mindful of her parents’ age she becomes more involved with learning all aspects of the ranching operation. As the years pass, Nancy’s foals die, monthly mortgages go unpaid, the land and buildings fall into disrepair, and family tensions flare as disagreements arise about how to hold onto a joint livelihood. Throughout, the film captures all aspects of work on a family farm—the emotional highs and lows, daily dramas, hopes, and disappointments. Nancy becomes wiser while also growing somewhat more resigned (she ages considerably in the face of mounting burdens), yet her capacity for reinvention and overriding generosity of spirit are deeply inspiring. Highly recommended. Aud: C, P (T.

Re: [Videolib] Alternative films to Tig
Hi Mat, The overriding theme for this film series is resilience (we are, after all, marking Katrina10 in a big way down here). We already have several Katrina film options so we’re now looking for other issues that can be associated with the concept of resilience; it could be illness, race, LGBT, gender, etc. The field is, actually, pretty wide open. The people making the final selection tend to like films that are recent productions, have a rapid pace (our students lose interest far too quickly), have a high production quality a la Hollywood (for the same reason), and are easily accessible. I think Tig stood out because it appeared to meet all four criteria.

Re: [Videolib] Alternative films to Tig
Hi Jessica, Haven’t seen anything on “Virunga,” but Passion River is selling the Netflix doc “Print the Legend” on the market competition between manufacturers of 3D printers.

The Netflix model has been to only allow docs they buy to show in NY LA to make them Academy qualified and then refuse all other requests from theaters to colleges. A lot of venues really wanted to show the Nina Simone doc and others but were blown off. I am not even sure if Netflix ever releases their docs on DVD/blu ray Anyone know if you can legally buy a copy of VIRUNGA?

Re: [Videolib] Alternative films to Tig
When I Walk (distributed by Passion River) is a great film about a young filmmaker, Jason DaSilva, who contracts multiple sclerosis; it captures artist/illness themes: http://www.passionriver.com/when-i-walk.html --Danette@Duke From: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edumailto:videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu [mailto:videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of Hooper, Lisa K Sent: Wednesday, August 26, 2015 4:31 PM To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edumailto:videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Subject: [Videolib] Alternative films to Tig Greetings everyone, A group here on campus was very interested in hosting a screening of Tighttps://youtu.be/eO7kJ0j4Qzw.

Re: [Videolib] Alternative films to Tig
Tig looks like a great film. What aspects are they interested in? Women, LGBT, disease/disability, comedy...? 65_redroses is about woman with cystic fibrosis connecting with other with CIF. (No standup comedy, that I recall.) http://www.rocoeducational.com/65_red_roses I know there are a couple films about comedians with disabilities, but blanking on titles.
