Video clip: "Alfred Adler - Fox Movietone Newsreel Clip From 1929"
The original newsreel clip of Alfred Adler was filmed by Fox Movietone News on June 17, 1929 in Vienna, Austria. The archived film, at the University of South Carolina Film Library, is in fair condition (considering its age), with some scratches and other blemishes. Consequently, the video copy, and subsequent streaming file, are of modest quality. The audio, however, is quite clear. A time code is also stamped just below the center of the frame. Streaming video requires initial and periodic buffering, so you may have to wait a few seconds for the video to begin, and there may be temporary interruptions of video or sound. If you can accept the technical limitations (including lip-sync lapses), you will enjoy this rare film of Adler--perhaps the only one available.The Alfred Adler Institute of San Francisco has been licensed by the University of South Carolina Film Library to present this clip on its web site as steaming video. The material is protected by copyright and may not be reproduced in whole or part. The cost of licensing this video has been co-sponsored by Henry Stein and Dyanne Pienkowski.
