<\/a><\/div>\n

Last month we promised more regular updates about our new acquisitions, and… well, we didn’t have a whole lot coming in for a few weeks. But we do now! We got a motley assortment of new titles in July, and to avoid going for the obvious bigger names (nothing against Thor<\/i>), let’s spotlight a few the great off-the-track DVDs you can get now from the AU Library.<\/p>\n

Before anything else, you’ll want to check out Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation<\/i>, a remake of the first Indiana Jones movie filmed by three childhood friends over the course of several decades on home video cameras. Music fans should tune in for Nas: Time is Illmatic<\/i>, a documentary about the creation of rapper Nas’s groundbreaking debut album. And anyone interested in gaming or diversity in culture should watch GTFO<\/i>, a primer on harassment and exclusion of women in the video game community and industry.<\/p>\n

We also finally got The Wiz<\/i>. How did we not have The Wiz<\/i>? Read on for a full list of what’s new.
