RT Collection/under constr

Since 1999, REELTIME INDEPENDENT FILM AND VIDEO FORUM has hosted monthly free film screenings and discussions in Evanston. While REELTIME is best known as a film series, we have simultaneously built an extensive circulating collection of independent films that are available for checkout at the Evanston Public Library. This is known as the REELTIME Collection.
The REELTIME Collection currently holds over 350 titles and is the largest collection of its kind at any public library in Illinois. For a small fee, library patrons can check out award-winning independent films that cover a wide range of subjects and are for the most part not available at commercial video rental stores. Documentaries constitute the lion’s share of our collection, but there are also a handful of fiction and animated films included.

Library call numbers are listed next to each title. We hope to add active links to the library’s website in the future. Titles in the REELTIME Collection are integrated into the library’s overall media collection – using call numbers to locate a title is the most efficient way of finding it. In order to make the REELTIME Collection more user-friendly for educators, we have added links to study guides when available and listed key subject areas for each film.

We invite your suggestions for independent film titles for the REELTIME Collection. You can reach us at: filmvideoforum@yahoo.com.
