My best guess is that Gaumont will tell either they have sold it or on in negations to sell it. It would be hard to imagine a film like this does not find a US buyer. It will be huge on Jewish Film Festival circuit. I don't think you need to worry about someone at Gaumont speaking English, however that does not guarantee a response. However I think the odds are pretty good that you find a way to show it by February.

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.
