Hi Meghann, What about the movies about the following foreign directors:
- Lucia Puenzo (Argentina). Her movie "XXY" is a great movie to explore issues dealing with sexuality. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0995829/ - Iciar Bollain (Spain). http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0093081/ Most of her movies would work. "Mataharis", "Take my Eyes" or "Flowers from Another World" could work well - Fernando Leon de Aranoa (Spain) His movie "Princesas" might work well for prostitution and immigration-related issues http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0434292/ Hope this helps.

She tries to use all new titles each semester, and it can be a challenge for her to find a new slate each year. Any recent releases that come to mind would be greatly appreciated. Here are the topics / areas that are of particular interest for her: "intersexuality, reproductive rights, marriage choice, prostitution, religion and cultural gendered practices." She is ONLY interested in feature films -- not documentaries. Thanks in advance, ************************* Meghann Matwichuk, M.S.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
