Having worked on these shows for the last four years, there is an important
point that I feel needs to be to clarified.  The videotapes that you can
order through ACM are the "SIGGRAPH Video Review" which is intended as an
educational resource in computer graphics.  The material on those tapes
includes pieces that were shown at the SIGGRAPH Film & Video shows, as
well as videotapes presented during SIGGRAPH technical paper sessions, and
other material of interest.  Usually several new tapes come out every year.

However, SIGGRAPH cannot make tapes of the *complete* Film & Video Show
available for sale.  Most of the commercial production houses cannot
give clearance for this type of distribution due to restrictions in
contracts with their clients.  Other contributors simply don't want to
give clearance because they anticipate potential revenues through other
distribution channels.  In practice, this means that many of the really
"hot" items from the SIGGRAPH Film & Video Shows (e.g. "Tony de Peltrie"
in 1985, "Luxo Jr." in 1986) are NOT available on the SIGGRAPH video
reviews.

These comments are in no way intended to downplay the value of the
SIGGRAPH Video Reviews.  I just wanted to explain some of the background
so that people understand why they cannot simply buy a copy of the Film
& Video Shows.
