I thought of these documentaries, but I'm sure she is lso interested in feature films: Capturing the Friedmans 1 Birch Street arnation Thanks, Jeff Mich ...... I'm creating a new course on writing memoir, and I want to include a ouple of films. One that I haven't seen yet but that I think will fit ell is Stories We Tell, a documentary by Sarah Polley about her eceased mother that incorporates the memories of a range of family nd friends and in the process reveals a great deal about those being nterviewed. Another possibility is Persepolis, based on the graphic ovel/memoir by Marjane Satrapi. Do you have other films you could suggest that would fit this genre? ilms that raise interesting questions about storytelling, memory, ruth, conflicting versions of events, etc. would be particularly nteresting. VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues elating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, reservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and elated institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective orking tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between ibraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
