----------------------------Original message---------------------------- THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS AND SMITHSONIAN VIDEO invite you to join them in a thrilling journey of rediscovery. THE LIBRARY OF CONGRASS VIDEO COLLECTION makes an important milestone for film buffs, historians, libraries, and public and private collections. The ORIGINS OF AMERICAN FILM series represents the first six volumes in an ongoing program designed to make widely available early archival prints help in the Library of Congrass's vast Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division. Selections include works that have rarely been seen, and never before released on videotape. A number of the films chosen have only survived in foreign film archives, long ago abandoned by their distributors, or in "paper prints" originally deposited in the Library of Congrass for copyright protection. Each film has been carefully restored and transferred to safety film, from which the video masters were made. EACH VIDEOTAPE IN THIS SERIES: --runs between 79 and 129 minu.; --including new soundtracks composed and played Philip Carli; --comes with extensive, informative liner notes by Scott Simmon; --is handsomely and sturdily boxed.
