I don't know about this rights issue. As far as I know Orion Pictures (MGM) used to have it and, at least until last year, Alliance Atlantis here in Canada had it as well. Whatever the case may be, I've learned a long time ago that Facets is not the final place to find what you're looking for (you also don't have to pay inflated prices either). You can find this at Video Flicks, in NTSC widescreen & subtitled, for $19.99 at:

go to a video store and ask if you can buy their copy.. that sometimes
works... if not, and you are feeling like depriving the rest of the world,
you can always pull the "rent it and lose it" trick (assuming the film is
cheep enough). Then there is always www.reel.com.

only seen _Being John Malkovich_, most of _The Talented Mr. Ripley_ (the

The Red Violin, Magnolia, Sleepy Hollow, The Matrix, and Star Wars:

Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
A question about finding 1930s Hollywood musicals not on major video release:
I haven't been able to order or find any of the early Jeanette MacDonald
musicals (Love Me Tonight (1932), One Hour with You (1932), Monte Carlo
(1930), The Love Parade (1929) etc.). Likewise, Jane Wither's 1930s Fox 'B'
films. I've checked all the major Net distributors with no luck. I
understand that TNT shows the early MacDonald films every once in awhile,
however I don't have access to that channel as I'm in Australia (this also
complicates seraching places like ebay). Any suggestions (either PAL or NTSC)?
I should be visiting the US and the UK in the next 6 months, so any archive
(i.e. Fox collections)/library suggestions as to where I might track some of
their more obscure films down would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Mark Langer's fascinating reply to the question about the girl and the
gun really makes me want to ask this question:
WHEN WE ARE FACED WITH A QUESTION like, "Who said this: 'All I need to
make a movie is a girl and a gun'?," HOW do we go about trying to frame
an answer. We've heard Jean-Luc Godard, Abraham Zapruder, Howard Hawks.
But not Nicole Garcia, Jane Campion, Alfred Hitchcock, Anthony Mann.
If I asked *this* question, I wonder what kinds of speculations would
come about---note please: this is all about speculation, since presumably
we don't *know* the answer:---- "Who said this: 'All you can say about
movies could be written on the back of a band-aid.'"

Dear Nadine,
Sadly, Love Me Tonight has never been available on home video in the US but
it's shown on Turner Classic Movies (not TNT) over the years and you might be
able to trade for a tape. UCLA did a very fine restoration many years ago.
As for One Hour with You (1932), Monte Carlo (1930), The Love Parade (1929),
Universal did release them in the US on laserdisc in a package called "The
Lubitsch Touch." (It also included The Smiling Lieutenant, If I had a
Million, Trouble in Paradise and Design for Living)
The laserdisc set was fairly rare from the day it was released. My darling
wife Amy and that great, great author of "Laughter in Paradise," Scott Eyman
-- you must have heard of him. What he did to Lubitsch, we're doing to
Poland* -- searched the entire US until they found me a copy for my birthday.
Since the death of laserdisc, however, they (the discs, not Eyman or my wife)
might pop up in the laserdisc website stores like Ken Cranes or Big Emma's.
At the same time, UCLA restored many of these films and their new 35mm prints
were some of the most beautiful I've ever seen outside of nitrate.
As for Fox, many of the titles came to MoMA and UCLA and the Bill Everson
collection should have a few in 16mm -- they're now at the George Eastman
House. Alex Gordon at the Gene Autry Museum saved many of these from
disappearing in the 1960s and he is the expert on these films. You might also
try alt.silent listserv (after apologizing for going slightly off topic which
they're actually glad to do) because many of those people have an expertise
on these films and if you made a list of the films you need, they might tell
you exactly what exists and where.
Dennis Doros
Milestone Film & Video
*for those who can't read between the lines, Scott is indeed a wonderful
author and Milestone's best friend and his biography of Lubitsch is
absolutely terrific. At the same time, I can never resist giving him grief or
a good Lubitsch reference. Though, I'm told, you can't eat your cake and
shoot it too! So they call me...

The Oscars are a joke, and rarely ever give the awards to important films and
performances. Look how Magnolia was ignored. This was without a doubt the
best film of the year, an altogether challenging film full of many wonderful
moments and performances. But Anderson isn't a linear filmmaker, and probably
gave all those old farts that sit on the Academy an apoplexy. Frogs falling
out of the sky,characters breaking out into song, and what the hell was that
opening about. I'm waiting to see what they are going to do with Hillary
Swank, who gave one of the great performances of all time, let alone this
year. Lets not forget that this is the group that gave that nice little tv
actress Helen Hunt an Oscar for a bad sitcom movie,so what does it mean or
matter. I'm sure Washington will get the Oscar over the more subtle finer
Russell Crowe, and the impossibly awful Angelina Jolie will get a nod for
playing crazy. I would love to see the luminous Chloe Sevigny win, but again
too low keyed for them. They want to see where their Oscars are going, and
they can see crazy. Also no doubt that Tom Cruise will get the supporting
actor Oscar. They also love when big movie stars play against type, and Tommy
boy took chances twice this year. My choice would be Phillip Seymour Hoffman
for Magnolia & The Talented Mr. Ripley, but he wasn't even nominated, but
happily neither was Christopher Plummer for playing Jason Robard Oh I mean
Mike Wallace in The Insider. Best Picture will go to American Beauty which is
tangy but not too spicy, and its politically correct too.

I showed *Roma Cittā Aperta* in my film history class today
and thought about what kind of Italian film (and performer) grabs
Oscars these days: *La Vita Č Bella*/Roberto Benigni. Demoralizing.
However:
>I'm sure Washington will get the Oscar over the more subtle finer

I sure hope you are right. What's wrong with awarding a long
overdue Oscar to an outstanding performance by an African-American
actor? Speaking of overdue: when is the Academy going to award a
lifetime achievement Oscar to the Nicholas Brothers??

Greetings,
I have recently began working with a small video production company.
The owner has limited knowledge of video equipment.
In order to save money, one of the employees has suggested using=20
one digital camera (with 3 CCDs) and several SVHS cameras.
He believes that if we use the digital camera like a mixer and plug all=20
of the SVHS cameras into it, then the quality of the finished product
will be that of the digital camera.
I am worried that the footage shot on the SVHS cameras will not be of =
the same quality as the digital camera (the quality that we need).
Any information would be greatly appreciated,
Steven Sharma

Thanks for all the postings - it's really interesting how a
little lazy research inquiry (with Godard mispelt
incidentally - an unforgivable typo) can set a debate off.
Did anybody ever say the band-aid thing (it can't have been
a Brit - they would say plaster)? It's funny how some film
axioms come adrift from their moorings and others are
always linked inextricably to who said them *first* - like
Hitchcock on actors as cattle. But then again, I can't
recall the exact phrasing of that...

Possibly. If the S-VHS cameras hasn't 3 CCD's, the footage will have
good quality, but not the same as the digital camera (3 CCD). If you
plug the S-VHS cameras, with a S-Video connector in the digital camera,
it will have still a good quality due to the digital tape recording,
that is great (in VHS system, your major problem is the damn tape).

I am sorry, but your suspicions are correct. Any footage shot is only as
good as the camera which is the primary source. Putting the feeds from S-VHS
cameras through a digital camera may help by converting the analogue video
into digital (removing any further degradation, providing it stays in
digital format) but it will still look like S-VHS.
I do a similar thing at the school where I work. I only have S-VHS cameras
at the moment, but by digitsing the footage into a computer and editing
using Premiere, I have managed to create programs that look like first
generation S-VHS.
I guess the old adage about film and video making comes into force here - if
you are willing to spend some money in the right areas - then it will
benefit your production work. 3 or 4 good 3CCD digital video cameras will
give your work a lift, as opposed to 6 or 7 inferior quality S-VHS cameras.
I hope this helps!
Mark
Greetings,
I have recently began working with a small video production company.
The owner has limited knowledge of video equipment.
In order to save money, one of the employees has suggested using
one digital camera (with 3 CCDs) and several SVHS cameras.
He believes that if we use the digital camera like a mixer and plug all
of the SVHS cameras into it, then the quality of the finished product
will be that of the digital camera.
I am worried that the footage shot on the SVHS cameras will not be of the
same quality as the digital camera (the quality that we need).
Any information would be greatly appreciated,
Steven Sharma

We have to be careful about placing too high an expectation on these Awards.
Oscars infrequently go to people or films that academia or critics have
supported.
I would personally be surprised if any Oscars go to the non-American
contigent that have been nominated this year. I have heard that there is a
strong anti-Australian sentiment in Hollywood at the moment because of the
recent success of our film industry at the Academy Awards (not to mention
the excellent work ethic of our crews and the vibrant creativity expressed
by our writers, directors and actors - but I digress!). Likewise, Benigni's
impersonation of a sheepdog was 'cute', but you can't do that sort of thing
at a formal awards ceremony!
Maybe we should hold our own version? People can submit their favourite
films and actors in the various categories and the most popular are
submitted to the group for voting. The results are then collated and posted
around Academy Awards time.
Just an idea - it would be interesting to compare!
cheers
Mark
The Oscars are a joke, and rarely ever give the awards to important films
and
performances. Look how Magnolia was ignored. This was without a doubt the
best film of the year, an altogether challenging film full of many wonderful
moments and performances. But Anderson isn't a linear filmmaker, and
probably
gave all those old farts that sit on the Academy an apoplexy. Frogs falling
out of the sky,characters breaking out into song, and what the hell was that
opening about. I'm waiting to see what they are going to do with Hillary
Swank, who gave one of the great performances of all time, let alone this
year. Lets not forget that this is the group that gave that nice little tv
actress Helen Hunt an Oscar for a bad sitcom movie,so what does it mean or
matter. I'm sure Washington will get the Oscar over the more subtle finer
Russell Crowe, and the impossibly awful Angelina Jolie will get a nod for
playing crazy. I would love to see the luminous Chloe Sevigny win, but again
too low keyed for them. They want to see where their Oscars are going, and
they can see crazy. Also no doubt that Tom Cruise will get the supporting
actor Oscar. They also love when big movie stars play against type, and
Tommy
boy took chances twice this year. My choice would be Phillip Seymour Hoffman
for Magnolia & The Talented Mr. Ripley, but he wasn't even nominated, but
happily neither was Christopher Plummer for playing Jason Robard Oh I mean
Mike Wallace in The Insider. Best Picture will go to American Beauty which
is
tangy but not too spicy, and its politically correct too.

a lovely idea . . . is it practicable? . . . if there's a way of
negotiating it i think we oughta go for it, if only to see how
it comes out . . . though, coming from a bunch of ostensible
"experts," it might earn some public recognition, our
culture being so obsessed with ratings and lists . .
but i wonder about one thing: should it be our "favorite
films and actors" or the ones we admire/respect/value
most highly . . . i would hardly want to call BOYS DON'T
CRY my "favorite" film of the year but it seems to me
a remarkable achievement . . . while OTOH, i often have
"favorite" films, books, music that i recognize as not
especially distinguished but which speak to me for very
personal reasons . . . i think we're in a position to make
informed as opposed to purely intuitive judgments, and
if the logistics of this can be worked out that's the
path i'd like to see us take . . . but just how do we manage
the logistics? . . . any thoughts from screen-L'ers or the
list moderator

What you're describing doesn't work, plain and simple. In fact,
whoever told you this lacks a very basic understanding of how
these cameras work.
I've not seen a digital camera yet that has composite "video in"
jacks... And even if one did, it couldn't magically convert analog
to digital.

You will inevitably suffer a loss of quality if you record DV footage (what
I assume you mean by digital 3CCD camera) onto S-VHS. So the quality will
not be as high as that recorded by the digital camera, by a significant
margin.
The quality of the finished product is ultimately determined by what you
record it onto. So if you record onto S-VHS you will get S-VHS quality.
Which is fine if you intend to distribute your recordings on VHS or S-VHS,
but for, say, broadcast purposes it's unacceptable. The rule is generally
this - keep the quality level as high as possible throughout the production
process and only downgrade to your distribution medium when necessary.

I don't know too much about it, but I'd imagine you'd get an image which is
merely redigitized by the triple chip. I wouldn't expect better quality,
rather you may get slight distortion (hardly noticable).
Sounds like a good art film project to me.

True. And now that I think about it the S VHS cam might only be using single
chip (and one of lower quality)... thus there would be a major difference
between the pre-storage signals sent from the two camera's imaging devices.

dear all:
i'm currently trying to locate primary sources pertaining to the production of anthony mann's winchester '73 (1950). the film was produced by universal and notable credits are as follows: anthony mann (director), aaron rosenberg (producer), borden chase (script), william daniels (photography) - as for cast, james stewart, dan duryea, rock hudson, stephen mcnally, shelley winters, millard mitchell, tony curtis, jay c. flippen, john mcintire. lang was originally slated to direct and worked through much of the preproduction. so far i have had little luck. if anyone has any information on archival collections that could be helpful, it would be much appreciated. i have already looked into the holdings at the academy - also, the universal holdings at usc. however, if there is, eg., an anthony mann collection kicking around, or a james stewart one - i'd be glad to find out.
yours gratefully,

There's a new DVD for Hou's "Flowers of Shanghai" (from Japan, no regional
coding) that runs 114 minutes. My question is whether anybody can confirm
that this is the complete film since most sources give a 120 minute time
(though a few say 125 or even 130). Normally I'd mark this down to time
lost in a PAL conversion except that this seems quite unlikely for a
Japanese DVD (and is Taiwan even on PAL?). It also seems unlikely that the
notes for the Walter Reade Hou retrospective (which says 120m) would be
wrong, especially since other reviews confirm this time. And if Miramax
had released this (no snickering please) then there would be an edited
version but who else would do that? Any ideas about the discrepancy?

I can't provide much more information, but it's apparently a real
credit. Ruiz is a Chilean director who worked in exile during the
Pinochet years. His most recent film is the acclaimed Proust

DOCUMENTARY SITES
International Documentary Conference
8th -12th September 2000
University of Auckland
New Zealand
This documentary conference is the third of such international documentary
events to be held at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. Following
the precedents set by "In Reality" (1996) and "Thinking Markets" (1998) we
aim to stimulate productive dialogue between documentary professionals
researching and working at universities, and in the film and television
industries of Australasia and the Asia-Pacific region.
The conference begins with an opening night premiere, followed by a
three-day symposium and ending with a day of practitioner workshops. The
majority of panel discussions will be oriented around the intersection of
theory and practice with two sessions focused on industry questions of
co-production.
In response to a need for a regular forum for documentary theories in the
Asia-Pacific region, with the support of Australian academics we are
widening the focus this year to invite international participation in the
presentation of conference papers. "Documentary Sites" is an invitation to
open up documentary scholarship and practice to further geographical, media
and discursive modes of siting /sighting documentary.
Panels will be based around the following themes:
Documentary Audiences
Ethics and Documentary
Documentaries of the Asia-Pacific Region
Autobiography
Postcolonialism, Indigeneity and Diaspora
New Media
Digital to 35mm: the New Visibility of Theatrical Documentary
Political or Agitational Documentary
Reality TV and Celebrity
The Politics of History-Making
Drama Documentary: Borders and Boundaries
