[Tig] Videotape 50th Anniversary--SCREENING

[Jeffrey Martin]

Greetings,

This is a follow-up to earlier threads on the 50th anniversary of videotape. I'm happy to be 
organizing a 
screening for the upcoming Association of Moving Image Archivists conference in Anchorage 
Alaska,  to mark 
the 50th Anniversary of videotape--specifically, of  2" quad tape. I'm hoping members of the 
list may be 
interested in helping provide, or track down, clips.

Though the screening will  be focusing on the early years of the format, any and all 
submissions are welcome. 
The only criteria is that they must have originated on 2" tape.  If you have something in your 
collection that fits 
this description--something unique, something you're surprised was recorded, something  
that wouldn't exist 
had that 2" machine not been rolling on a broadcast, please let me know.  Clips should be 
short--about 5 mins 
max--since it's a brief screening (about an hour).

Leads to possible titles, especially if they come with contact info for friendly archivists, are 
also welcome.  I'm 
happy to answer any questions you might have about the screening, the conference, etc., of 
course.

Thanks very much,
