Hi all, Just a thumbs up or down on this --- I’ve been asked to purchase these titles, so far the only distributor I can find (via Worldcat) is Iranianmovies.com. Has anybody worked with them and can give a thumbs up? https://www.iranianmovies.com/ If not, recommendations for distributors for Iranian cinema. Thanks, as always, for your help, lorraine
(Ohio U) The first one is Ragbar/ Downpour by Bahman Beyzaie - 1972 the film has been repaired and archived by the Scorsese Film Foundation couple of years ago and has been shown at UCLA and Stanford 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.
