Wininger, Ph.D. > Associate Professor > Department of Philosophy FAAT KINE is available on Video from California Newsreel 415-621-6196. You can rent the film in 16mm or 35mm from New Yorker 212-247-6110 Now can I put in a shameless plug? Kino is just about to release 3 films by Souleymane Cisse, one of the great African directors. We will be releasing 3 of his most famous feature films on video in mid- February ,YEELEN, BAARA & FINYE . They are NOT in our catalogue but I will be doing a special mailing next month including the SCS membership list. These are institutional sale only titles so they are $250 each or $600 for all three. Before anyone compains, it took me TWO years of cajoling to get this done and it is NOT cheap to get good new masters of these films which would not exactly fly off the shelves at your local blockbuster( hence the understandable disinterest from the Kino Video dept) For those of you who might actually still be interest in actual film prints we have a beautiful new 35mm copy of YEELEN which finishes tonight in Chicago and will also be showing soon in Santa Fe and Hanover NH Jessica Rosner Kino International ---- For past messages, visit the Screen-L Archives: http://bama.ua.edu/archives/screen-l.html
