Hi all,

Thursday night for the Raleigh screening
works great.  I'm corresponding with Stephanie at UNC to nail down
a date for their screening, but they're aware Thursday is already "taken."
 Once I hear back from Stephanie, I'll send out a note to everyone
and maybe we can start discussing the poster and promotion early next week?
 How does that sound?  It looks like the UNC screenings will
loosely focus on "the South."  With our films focusing somewhat
on international travels/cultures and State's films focusing on many local
events, I think we'll have a nice balance -- from our backyard to the far
reaches of the globe, so to speak.

More soon.

Kirston

Hey, y’all – I believe we
at the State Archives have fixed on Thursday nigh, October 24th,
for our screening.  I believe Duke has been considering Tuesday or
Wednesday, October 22nc or 23rd.  Here I have pasted a
copy of correspondence about this from a few weeks ago…, but this is all
I have heard so far:
 

This sounds great, Kim!  Thanks for providing all this information.
    

Kirston 

PS:  I think this event would make a great spot on "The State
of Things."  Perhaps we can contact Katy Barron, Managing Editor,
and kind of pitch it to her at some point - send her a brief description
of the program and a list of potential people to interview.

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!

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

Subject: Home Movie Day 2008 and the evening screening..
 
Hey folks,

I'm about to head to Texas for a couple of shows over the weekend, but
we need to coordinate:

1) HMD 2008 Raleigh.
Specifically, press for the event. Can we get the NCSU promo machine cranking?

2) The Screening. Tentatively we were going to do a screening at the Erdahl-Cloyt
theater in the library, but it's not done yet. Is that still the case,
Lisa?  If so, we need to find an alternative venue. So far, I don't
think the other universities have announced a date, so maybe we should
jump on it and be first to pick a date. What do you think?

Also what do we want to screen, I suppose it doesn't really need to be
home movie-centric but it would be a nice tie-in?
