About MoMA, just wanted to point out that there are various
departments there, and that there is a difference in the Circulating
Film Library, which has only a relatively limited number of titles,
and all of MoMA's holdings, most of which do not circulate (perhaps
except to other archives, as per FIAF rules) and for which they don't
hold any distribution rights.
So it may be that PORTRAIT OF JASON was presvered but is not part of
the Circulating Film Library?
From the MoMA website:
Circulating Film and Video Library
(212) 708-9530; fax (212) 708-9531
The library includes more than 1,200 16mm prints covering the history
of film from the 1890s to the present, as well as art films from the
American Federation of the Arts and 35mm films from the Library of
Congress. For information on the rental or sale of these films, see
the price list, available free from the library. The library also
incorporates an important collection of works by leading video
artists, which are available for rental or sale in all formats.
Not sure this helps a lot...
