Temporary Closure of the PFA Film and Video Collection
The PFA film and video collection will be unavailable for research screenings from September 1, 2009, through May 31, 2010, while we barcode, inventory, and move the collection to a new storage facility. The film and video collection closure will not impact access to the PFA Library’s book, magazine, and clippings collections, nor the public exhibition program at the PFA Theater.
During the closure, please contact the PFA Library staff at (510) 642-1437 or pfalibrary@berkeley.edu for help in locating other sources for films and videos and for any other film-related research. The Library will be open its regular hours (1-5 p.m., Monday through Thursday) and all its resources other than films and videos will remain available for on-site study.
PFA’s research screening facilities can be reserved to view materials from sources other than PFA’s collection. The facilities are available by reservation during regular hours (1-5 p.m., Monday through Thursday); use fees are listed below. Facilities include a ten-seat screening room for 16mm, 8mm, video, laserdisc, and DVD formats. Flatbed viewing tables for 16mm and 35mm are also available; they can accommodate no more than two people.
Please contact the PFA Library staff at (510) 642-1437 or pfalibrary@berkeley.edu if you would like to make a reservation.
To find out whether a particular film or video is part of the collection and available for research after May 2010, search the PFA Film and Video Collection database. See the PFA Collection page for a more in-depth description of the collection.
