DATE MOVIES: A Guide to films in the Richmond, Vancouver, and UBC library collections
Under construction...
Greetings! This list offers a small sampling of the films in the Date Movie Project - eventually, a twelve-hour movie montage featuring clips from 1500 different films, representing every day of the year. Right now, Part 1 of this massive movie montage is screening at the Richmond Cultural Centre, home of the Richmond Public Library (Brighouse), as part of Culture Days, Canada's nation-wide celebration of the arts. Richmond residents can easily sign up for a Vancouver Public Library card, and UBC Community borrower cards are available for $10/month to gain access to over 30,000 DVDs from the Videomatica Collection as well as many more titles added since that collection was acquired.
The six-hour video runs from 10am to 4pm each day from Friday Sep 22 through Sunday Oct 8, with the exception of Truth and Reconciliation Day on Saturday, September 30. Drop in any time! Come when you want, leave when you wish.
