Cheaper than super-cheap Tuesday: watching films at the Library

Yes, you read the title right. The University of Sydney Library has a vast collection of feature films, in a variety of languages to boot. The collection is mainly at Fisher AV Reserve and at Roselle, but there will be enough at Fisher to keep you busy without having to trek over to the Sydney College of the Arts. If you have a library card, you will be able to borrow videos from Fisher AV Reserve for three hours at a time.

To explore what is out there, visit the Library Catalogue and bring up the Advanced tab:

Step 1: Enter the search as “feature film”.

Step 2: Select the DVD/VIDEO/SLID material type.

Step 3: Optionally, select the language that you want.

Step 4: Hit Search!

Alternatively, go to the Subject Search and enter “feature film”; all feature film subject categories begin with “Feature Film”, and you will then be able to narrow down your search by country of origin.

So there you have it! Many hours of viewing pleasure, for free, if you don’t mind the less-than-cinematic experience of sitting on library chairs and watching it on small television sets.
