About the Site:

DER is a leading educational distributor of ethnographic and documentary film. We serve a worldwide community of filmmakers and audiences.

About the Winternship:

We have two possible projects: 1) Inventorying tape masters (In Office). We have a baseline inventory and are now reviewing the quality of each tape to identify the best potential master for preservation (SKILLS: knowledge or interest in different tape formats; comfortable with databases; discerning eye) ; 2) Metadata cleanup (Hybrid/Flexible), We have an extensive catalog of titles which is currently being transferred to a streaming site. We're not sure what our needs will be as of January, but it could involve revising film descriptions, updating other data such as spoken languages, film festival screenings, etc (SKILLS: detail oriented;, interest in DER catalog; good writing skills)
