[Videolib] Help securing rights

Hello all, I am working with a faculty on a film series. The films below are what she would like to screen, and I'm having a heck of a time determining who to contact for pricing. First, do any of you know and second, is there a simple way of determining who has the rights? I know there is

Re: [Videolib] Help securing rights

I think if you are fairly sure you only need to show the film once (or during one short period) you should ask the distributors about pricing for that. I think faculty needs to be flexible when films are either unavailable for streaming or just too much that they consider either another title or

Re: [Videolib] Help securing rights

Dear Lorraine, If it's a one-time use, often a negotiation with the distributor will provide a lower rental fee -- especially if you talk with them on a continued basis. Or even being conversational with them just once. Edith Kramer of the Pacific Film Archive had a technique of just talking for

Re: [Videolib] Help securing rights

Thank all, and do I have the correct info for who to contact? I was confused about who to contact for: Paradise Now and Unveiled. Also, our art house Athena Cinema, works with Tri-State Theatre Service, so they might be able to get lower prices as well. Thanks everyone, lorraine From:

Re: [Videolib] Help securing rights

Lorraine, I am confused. Do you want to show this at Athena? In that case Tri-State could help. I mistakenly thought you wanted streaming rights. IF you show them at Athena then you should START with Tri-State but give them all the info you have re rights holders. As it happens theaters do get

[Videolib] Looking for feedback from public librarians

If you are a public librarian, I need your input. Can you tell me how you display your DVDs and Blu-Rays? Spine out? Face out? A mixture? We do fiction face-out and non-fiction spine out. I am curious because we have made some changes and are having numerous patron complaints. Elizabeth

[Videolib] Public Domain studio films?

Hi all, My library recently received a large donation of early studio films on VHS format. The majority were official releases, but I have two hanging out that came from one of those rare/vintage mail order video companies. The quality is not so hot - they look like low end telecine transfers.

Re: [Videolib] Public Domain studio films?

These are copyrighted films the rights holder (which in the case of POINTED HEELS in Universal which ones Paramount films made between 1028-48) studios have not releases along with I would imagine tens of thousands of others. The copies you have are bootlegs. I have seen these titles online and at

Re: [Videolib] Help securing rights

Hi Jessica, Sorry to confuse all - I am looking to show these at the Athena Cinema in Athens, 1x, in the Fall of 2014. So no streaming rights. Thank all who responded. I will wait and see what Tri-State has to say on dollar amount. I still am curious on the best way to go about finding out

Re: [Videolib] Help securing rights

Well in your case you are really looking for theatrical rights holder. IF the film was released theatrically than start with New York Times review. To be fair most on your list are tricky but in the case of Paradise Now you are better off asking Tri-State to go through Warner Bros. On Mon, Apr

Re: [Videolib] Help securing rights

I have to say, it's expensive these days, but IMDB Pro has its moments -- especially since it includes the contact information for rights holders. It's not entirely accurate, but if not in the Times or Variety, it's a decent place to start. And, wow, it must be the 40th Anniversary of the Athens
