If the film you are looking for isn’t on Lumière…

In order to have access to films and clips, both the University of St. Thomas and UC Berkeley need to own the film, and it needs to be in Lumière. To request the acquisition of a film, please contact Cindy Badilla-Melendez, the Head of the Music & Media Collections at cbadillame@stthomas.edu or (651) 962-5464.
