Stop press! We have added MediaStorm as our newest distributor. The MediaStorm collection of films will be available soon!
Since our last newsletter, we have added over 45 titles to Docuseek2. Of special note:
From Bullfrog Films, Anthropocene examines whether human impact has tipped the planet into a new geological epoch, with all of its political, social and behavioral implications; The Enemy Within is the story of Britain's longest strike, the 1984-85 miners' strike, when Margaret Thatcher declared war on the unions, as told by those who lived through it; and Love & Solidarity is an exploration of nonviolence and organizing through the life and teachings of Rev. James Lawson.
From Icarus Films, in Beyond My Grandfather Allende, winner of Cannes Film Festival's Golden Eye Documentary Prize, director Marcia Tambutti Allende seeks to understand the man behind the legend that was her grandfather, Salvador Allende; in The Seasons in Quincy, artist, intellectual and storyteller John Berger is the subject of four essay films by Tilda Swinton and the Derek Jarman Lab; and Under the Sun is a fascinating portrait of one North Korean girl and her parents in the year as she prepares to join the Korean Children's Union on Kim Jong-Il's birthday.

New Films Added in June
25 new titles from Bullfrog Films and Icarus Films were added to the Docuseek2 Complete and Essential Collections in June. New Bullfrog titles include The True Cost, a groundbreaking investigation that reveals that while the price of clothing has been decreasing for decades, the human and environmental costs have grown dramatically; Just Eat It, a funny, shocking and intriguing look at the issue of food waste; and The Antibiotic Hunters, which follows scientists as they urgently hunt for new antibiotics in some remote and unusual places.
From Icarus Films, A Baptism of Fire is a gripping story about freelance photographers' coverage of the Arab Spring uprisings; Sex, Lies and Tabloids! chronicles the history of tabloid journalism; and Saving Mes Aynak documents the race to save a 5,000 year-old archaeological site in Afghanistan.
National Hispanic Heritage Month, a month to recognize and celebrate the culture and contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans starts on September 15. Enrich your campus programs with a video series featuring our Hispanic Heritage Month playlist.
The playlist explores the Hispanic and Latino experience in the U.S., but we also have an extensive collection of films for Latin American studies covering a history and experiences that cannot really be separated from the Hispanic and Latino experience north of the Rio Grande. Here's a link to our Latin American Studies Collection.
Did you miss Women's Equality Day? August 26 was Women’s Equality Day, commemorating the enfranchisement of women in the United States. Docuseek2 is proud to offer impressive collections of related films, including a 50-program Women’s Studies Collection and 16-program Women’s History Month Sampler.
There are now over 800 titles in the Docuseek2 collection. Here are the top ten most-watched films (by number of views).
Our new usage Dashboard provides key account statistics selectable by date, including Top Subjects (by academic discipline), Views, Impressions, Seconds viewed, Views by day of the week, Percent of video viewed, and Top viewed titles in graphic representations of usage. The tabular report of usage per title is still available on the Reports tab. This Usage Report provides the ability to download the data in a .csv / spreadsheet file. Account administrators can access usage data under My Account.
We have also updated our colorful promotional flyers for the new school year. These flyers are subject specific. See the Latin American Studies flyer above, for example. The print-quality flyers can be downloaded here, printed for posting around campus or posted online and used digitally to promote your films on campus. Customizable versions are also available, so you can add your school's logo or collection URL. We are happy to do this for you.
