Funny, it took me a while to think of the Milestone films we have because I never thought of them that way, but I knew we must have some because we like those kind of films. We love them all, but here's a few cool ones...
WORD IS OUT is wonderful, but UCLA and Ross Lipman restored the film. We proudly distribute it. We also have the wonderful KILLER OF SHEEP by Charles Burnett which is entirely based on things he experienced or events he saw growing up. Marcel Ophuls' THE SORROW AND THE PITY. Manoel de Oliviera's OPORTO OF MY CHILDHOOD. BUT the king of them all is Shirley Clarke's PORTRAIT OF JASON that we just brought out. That's a really incredible memoir. www.portraitofjason.com Best regards, Dennis Doros Milestone Film & Video/Milliarium Zero PO Box 128 / Harrington Park, NJ 07640 Phone: 201-767-3117 / Fax: 201-767-3035 / Email: milefi...@gmail.com Visit our main website! www.milestonefilms.com Visit our new websites! www.portraitofjason.com, www.shirleyclarkefilms.com , Support "Milestone Film" on Facebook<http://www.facebook.com/pages/Milestone-Film/22348485426> and Twitter <https://twitter.com/#!/MilestoneFilms>!

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.
