  • Movie Trailers and Their Need for Access & Preservation
    Coming Soon to an Archive Near You: Movie Trailers and Their Need for Access & Preservation Samantha Melanie-Anne Losben Tisch School of the Arts Department of Cinema Studies May 7, 2011 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Moving Image Archiving and Preservation Professor Dan Streible, Faculty Advisor New York University, 2011 1 Abstract Movie trailers have been a part of the cinematic experience for almost as long as there have been movies. Over the years, the merits of trailers have been disputed among moviegoers. Some see trailers as entertaining and informative, while others see them merely as spoilers or a waste of time. Regardless of reputation, trailers are a significant part of the film industry. Trailers have the power to captivate, excite and entice viewers in a short time period. A trailer is usually a person’s first concept of a film and often may determine whether or not they see it. However, despite their role in promoting the industry and their own inherent creativity, trailers are often treated as nothing more than disposable advertising material. Many trailers find their way into archives simply by accident, which begs the question how are trailers regarded in the film archiving field? How are trailers currently incorporated into archives and how should they ideally be integrated? How are trailers currently accessed and should they be preserved? This thesis will explore the history and significance of theatrical trailers for feature films and how they are currently being accessed and incorporated into film archives.

  • Macy's Miracle on 34Th Street:1 Employing Mediation to Develop the Reorganization Plan in a Mega-Chapter 11 Case
    Macy's Miracle on 34th Street:1 Employing Mediation to Develop the Reorganization Plan in a Mega-Chapter 11 Case CASSANDRA G. MOTT I. INTRODUCTION Historically, bankruptcy courts have operated efficiently and effectively. After a wave of filings in the 1980s, however, some commentators argued that reform was needed to change the way in which bankruptcy disputes were handled. 2 As a result, in the mid-1980s, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) made a visible impact on the bankruptcy scene. The use of ADR in bankruptcy has increased in recent years3 because debtors and creditors recognize ADR as a viable alternative to the long, arduous, litigious struggles they usually face. Although the use of arbitration is prominent in the bankruptcy field, the use of mediation to formulate reorganization plans is controversial. 4 Despite this controversy, mediation is becoming firmly established in the bankruptcy field as an important component in many reorganization cases. As an increasing number of corporations seek Chapter 115 protection each year, 6 mediation provides a valuable alternative to litigation for 1 VALENTINE DAVIES, MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET (ist ed. 1947).
