Stan Brakhage Collection

Procedure for visiting scholars wishing to research films from the Stan Brakhage Collection.

1. Researcher should contact Jacob Barreras in Film Studies about what films they would like to view, and when they plan on visiting.
   
   
2. Jacob will then review the requests. The total running times of the films to be screened will be determined and the researcher will be invoiced for the room rental and projectionist’s hours. The price for viewing films is $25/hour and the payment is due upon receiving the invoice, prior to the film screenings. The researcher must understand that if they go over the allotted time paid for, then they will be billed for the additional projection time.
   
   
3. After the requests are submitted to Jacob, (i.e. specific film titles), Phil Wrede will be contacted to order the films from the offsite PASCAL facility.
   
   
4. Jacob will then coordinate the room rental and schedule the projectionist for the researcher when they visit.
   
   
5. Payment of the invoice will be made to the University of Colorado. Checks and cash are the only acceptable forms of payment. Credit card payment is not available.

Official statement from a Memorandum of Understanding.

Non University of Colorado, Boulder researchers wishing to access the Research Collection must obtain permission from the Film Studies Department. Screenings of films in the Research Collection will be scheduled and arranged by University Libraries’ staff, but any associated costs (e.g. projectionist, room rental, etc) must be borne by the researcher. University Libraries’ staff will prepare invoices in these instances, but payment will be made directly to the Film Studies Department.
