Like all local movie buffs, I was shocked and saddened to learn of the imminent closing of Videomatica. But there is one positive thing coming out of it – a chance to sponsor your favourite film and help the complete collection to be maintained at a university or other learning institution. From the Videomatica site: “Of course, universities don’t always have enough funds on their own, and that’s where we hope that the many who expressed concern over our collection’s future will step up to help make this happen. Rest assured, your donation will help to keep the collection together in an institutional setting, rather than seeing it being sold off individually and broken up.” Click here for more details on the Videomatica fundraiser, or to make a donation!
