The members of the Baltimore Video Collective are sad to hear the news that the Cold Spring Lane Video Americain, the last remaining location in the chain, plans to close in the coming months. Video Americain has throughout its long history been a wonderful resource for film lovers, and a major force in the cultural life of this city. We remain hopeful that this collection, or at least key portions of it, may be able to remain in Baltimore, and we are in the process of exploring possibilities towards that goal.
