in 20th-century America. The film reveals Hansberry's prescient works tackling race, human rights, women's equality and sexuality that anticipated social and political movements on the horizon.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">In a farmhouse basement on the Iowa countryside, eccentric collector Mike Zahs makes a remarkable discovery: the showreels of William Franklin Brinton, the
man who brought moving pictures to America's Heartland. Among the treasures: rare footage of President Teddy Roosevelt, the first moving images from Burma, a lost relic from magical effects godfather Georges Méliès. These are the films that introduced movies
to the world. <br>
Mike's journey to restore the Brinton name takes us to The Library of Congress, Paris and back for a big screen extravaganza in the same small-town movie theater where Brinton first turned on a projector over a century ago. By uniting community through a pride
in their living history, Mike embodies a welcome antidote to the breakneck pace of our disposable society.

<p style="margin-bottom:10.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">How much of your collections budget is now going to streaming videos? Do your licenses include the permissions you want? Because streaming video is a newer medium, libraries
are accepting restrictive license agreements that reduce digital inclusion and contribute to the loss of traditional library services, such as resource sharing. Academic libraries are collecting these new streaming format types in the millions, but they are
not able to ILL them to underfunded libraries that may not be able to afford streaming video collections. Presenters will provide data on the need for sharing streaming videos via ILL, provide guidance on how attendees can advocate for the license terms they
want, discuss discovery & technology barriers and share a roadmap for supporting underfunded libraries by including license terms that support all libraries and services.
