A Gay Girl In Damascus: The Amina Profile is available in teh Sundance Doc Club subscription and not available on Amazon yet. Does anyone know any other places to acquire a copy. I haven't contacted the filmmakers/producers yet.
http://www.docclub.com/a-gay-girl-in-damascus-the-amina-profile/documentary/411/?gclid=CIz9joWxk8kCFZKBaQodHWwNVg Amazing story, I hadn't followed this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Gay_Girl_In_Damascus#Documentary:_The_Amina_Profile It's listed as "Coming Soon" on the NFB site, and they produced it. https://www.nfb.ca/film/amina_profile I would say the best thing would be to contact the filmmaker Sophie Deraspe directly and see if she would send you a copy for playing to the class. When it comes out we could acquire it. I will also write to our NFB rep to see if we can get an "early" copy but they may be doing post production on it. I couldn't track down an email for her. IFC is the U.S. distributor. ============== Randal Baier Eastern Michigan University
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.
