We do not function like many video stores, attempting to have multiple copies of the newest videos on the day of their release. We do attempt to supply the materials necessary to teach the courses offered. Buying feature film is an inexact science. The video publishing industry is not motivated by libraries or education. Often important titles like Visconti's The Leopard, are not available on video.
Videos regularly go out of print, often very quickly after their release.
So we buy many features that do not have obvious curricular application right away, but may need to be used in the future, when they are no longer for sale. We will gladly purchase relevant materials for curricular and research use. Video Purchase Request Form .
