There is an alternative: make the DVDs required course texts. Then
discuss them and show only excerpts in class.
Open City, Bicycle Thief, Big Deal on Madonna Street, Divorce Italian
Style, Gomorrah, and Pan e Cioccolata are readily available online.
Lamerica and Special Day are out there, too.
Yes, that adds up. All of them together might equal the cost of one
science textbook (sigh).

Dear Collective Mind,
Any help/insights for obtaining streaming rights for foreign feature
films would be appreciated.
We first check with Swank and then try to contact the distributor
listed on the case. We did not have much luck getting rights for an
Italian film studies course. See titles below.
We can get the rights for these from Swank:
Lina Wertmuller, Sotto sotto
Emanuele Crialese, Golden Door (2006)
Roberto Benigni, Life is Beautiful (1998)
Sotto, sotto
Time to Kill
We could not get rights for these because we did not hear back,
couldn’t find who to write to.
Roberto Rossellini, Open City (1945)
De Sica, Bicycle Thief (1948)
Monicelli, Big Deal on Madonna Street (1958)
Marco Risi, Mery per sempre; trans. Forever Mary (1989)
Pietro Germi, Divorce Italian Style (1961)
Ozpetek, Le fate ignoranti (The Ignorant Fairies; 2003)
Gianni Amelio, Lamerica (1994)
Marco T Giordana, Quando sei nato non puoi piu’ nasconderti (2005)
Gomorrah, Fandango production
Pain e Cioccolata
Porte Aperte
Lion in the Desert, The (1981) Moustapha Akkad
Nichetti, Icicle Thief (1989)
Special Day
Thanks very much,

Question Reality
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.
