Blockbuster Hour - Getting to Know Tisch's Film Collection

Did you know that Tisch Library has over 15,000 titles on DVD and BluRay? In an age where a handful of streaming services control the availability of an ever-shifting catalogue of film and TV, the importance of physical media as a means of access to movies and television is more apparent than ever. This workshop will provide an overview of the variety of titles Tisch has and explain how you can access and explore the film collection, even if you don’t have a DVD/Blu-Ray player.
