Hi Jessica,
Thanks for your response. i also traced the lines of ownership but lost the
thread with Disney. Even though it looks quite interesting i'm beginning to
suspect based on the only OCLC record i could find is that the only cataloged
film is in the UCLA film archive.
Best,

Hello all,
Once more i'm turning to your collective experience... Has any one had any
experience with A1 Arabic DVD? a faculty member has requested a number of
titles from their online catalog but i can find no information about coding or
subtitles.
Thanks!

We do — we have PPR for any of the titles that are available for

Thanks everyone for all the great suggestions. I just talked with one of the

Magic Carpet Ride (Wonderphil Productions), which was one of their top choices.

I agree that IMDB is not ideal, but it can be a starting point when you can't
find a company mentioned anywhere else for a fairly obscure foreign film.
Sometimes you have to do research on six companies listed on a films IMDB
listing before you find the right one that actually owns the rights.
One more suggestion, you can try the local Turkish Consulate or even better
the Embassy in DC. They likely have a cultural attache who could be of great
help. If you can reach them, they may be of help not only in locating the
owners, but perhaps in negotiating a good deal. They want to promote Tur
I find IMDB a terrible source for accurate info on owners, but I agree with
the rest. Per previous email, original Variety review is probably the best
source I can think of or if you can find it, info from festivals it may have

If Swank, Criterion or the independent distributors of foreign films in the US
do not have the title you need, look online at Variety or IMDB to find the
company associated with the film. Then, search for that company's website

These films have owners, either in Turkey or in Europe. It will take time to
track them and money to pay them off.
As someone who has worked on the distribution of foreign films in the US for

distributor we can just show it (I

I'm querying the collective wisdom of the list to see if there are any thoughts

There are still some spaces available for the Center for Social Media
