Y’all,

 

That is pretty exciting! 

 

I don’t know that we have any films that follow the travel theme, but here at the State Archives, we are thinking of showing some of the following on the evening of Thursday, October 23rd:

-          H. Lee Waters films of Hillsborough, NC

-          Raleigh Fire Department training film, c.1950s (hilarious)

-          Tar Heel Family by George Stoney 1949, very forward thinking film about NC’s natural resources and conservation etc…

-          Tomorrow’s Market Today, 1965 film by WRAL about ‘modern’ marketing and economic development and the new Research Triangle Park!

-          Jockey’s Ridge for all the People, 1975-1976, moving student film by Ron Hagell about saving the dune from developers and the founding of the state park at Jockey’s Ridge

 

And please count us “in” on a joint poster and let me know what you need from us.  Our screening date is not ‘set in stone’ but Thursday is a very good night for us if it doesn’t conflict with anyone else.  Please do keep me in the loop on this and I look forward to hearing from you!

 

Kim

Subject: [NCMIA] Home Movie Screenings in October

 

Hello everyone,

Karen Glynn and I have chosen several films to screen the week following Home Movie Day (October 18).  I hope some of you have uncovered some home movie treasures as well and are still interested in screening these films the week of October 20-24.  If so, I thought it might be a good idea to choose a date for each of our screenings.  Perhaps we could each choose one night for screenings and work this into our PR strategy?

As it happens, the films we’ve chosen for our screening are all somehow related to travel and/or world cultures.  We’re planning to screen films from the Sidney D. Gamble collection (China 1917-1932, DVD), the Glenn Kiner collection (Shanghai, 1928, lenticular, DVD), the Frederic Cowper Papers (Paris Exposition, 1937, film print), the H. Lee Waters collection (North Carolina, 1930s, film print), and the Morris Margolin Collection (USSR, Japan, Norway, France, Israel, 1950-60s, DVD).      

We’d like to screen our films either Tuesday, October 21 or Wednesday, October 22.  How does this work with your schedules?  Should we try to collaborate on a poster for this event?  If so, we may be able to design it here at Duke and provide a pdf file to everyone to print from.  Please let us know if you like the idea of a joint poster listing the multiple screenings and we’ll see if we can get Library support to create it.  

Please write back with any thoughts or ideas and with a preferred screening date.

Thanks,

Kirston and Karen
