The University of Connecticut Libraries in Storrs, Connecticut is planning a film fest on sustainable agriculture/food production in conjunction with the Spring Fling on Earth Day, April 22nd, 2010. The Fling is organized by the University's Dining Services and features vendors of locally grown meats and produce in a street fair atmosphere. Our Dining Services runs a program throughout the year called Local Routes which purchases locally grown/made food for the dining halls and many of these vendors will be there. We even have beekeepers making honey for the dining halls.
We'll be showing topical films throughout the day at Storrs and our Avery Point campus in Groton and would be very excited to serve as a venue to screen a newly made film related to sustainable agriculture or food production. Please feel free to share my contact information with film makers and vendors, large or small who might be interested.

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.
