Third and Final Call for Film Nominations!
Have you seen a fantastic non-fiction film in the past two years? The FMRT Notable Films for Adults Committee is accepting nominations for outstanding films.
They select up to 15 titles each year that represent the best films for libraries released in the past two years under the five categories: Animation (non-feature films), Documentary/Educational, Personal Essay, Performance and Video Art, and How-To or Instructional.
Titles must be nominated by librarians who are not affiliated with video producers or distributors, and who have viewed the film in its entirety.
If you would like to recommend a video, please read the criteria and selection procedures (http://www.ala.org/rt/vrt/notablevideos/notablevideoscriteria) then fill out the suggestion form (http://www.ala.org/rt/vrt/notablevideos/form)

In 1998, the Film and Media Round Table established the Notable Videos for Adults list to help public and academic librarians build dynamic and balanced video collections for an adult clientele.
The list recognizes the growing number and enormous diversity of documentaries, educational and instructional titles, and performance works for adults available.
Each year a committee of FMRT members selects the best fifteen educational, animation, personal essay, performance, or how-to titles released during the previous and current calendar years.
Please get your nominations in by December 14th!
