X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p><strong>About the Film Collection</strong>
 </p>\n<p>The Miami-Dade Public Library System holds one of the few remaini
 ng circulating 16mm film collections in the country. Dating back to 1956\,
  the collection was developed as a teaching resource intended for public p
 rogramming. Its holdings include acclaimed feature films such as Rashomon 
 (1950)\, Alphaville (1965)\, The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928)\, Pandora&r
 squo\;s Box (1928)\, and 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968).</p>\n<p>What makes 
 this collection especially distinctive is its wide array of short films\, 
 ranging from experimental works by notable artists such as Len Lye\, Luis 
 Bu&ntilde\;uel\, Homer Groening\, Kenneth Anger\, Sergei Eisenstein\, and 
 John Whitney\, to educational films produced by organizations including Py
 ramid Films\, Xerox\, McGraw-Hill\, and the National Film Board of Canada.
 </p>\n<p>The collection also features Florida-specific titles\, including 
 Enchanted (1982)\, Metropolis in the Sun (1989)\, The Everglades (1970)\, 
 A Hurricane Named Betsy (1965)\, Miccosukee Indian Friends (1975)\, Salesm
 an (1969)\, and more.</p>\n<p>Films may be checked out for a two-week loan
  period by Miami-Dade Public Library cardholders. Please note that the lib
 rary does not circulate equipment or projectors\; patrons must supply thei
 r own. Films may also be viewed on-site through a research visit scheduled
  with the Division of Special Collections &amp\; Archives.</p>\n<p><br /><
