Title: 
Film Studies Policy Meeting, 1984 - Part 1 and 2
Description: 
This 3-part recording has Film Studies professors of the University of Colorado discussing the pros and cons of films being purchased for the University of Colorado as video tapes (VHS/Betamax). Issues such as student accessibility, qualitative differences, deterioration, lack of funds, and the department's main focus for teaching film are addressed. Stan Brakhage adamantly pleads with his colleagues, not to accept the new technology because it is inferior, even though video recordings are cheaper to purchase and easier for the student to use than reel-to-reel films are. In part 3, after further debate, the agreement is reached that videos will not be used in the classroom but may be useful for students wanting to view films on their own. A small collection would be purchased and housed at the Norlin Library. Continued on 'Film Studies Policy Meeting, 1984 - Part 3.'
