Thanks, Myles (et. al.) I'm still open for suggestions -- the response
has been great from a collection development standpoint, but
unfortunately many of the great titles suggested have been used by this
instructor in past years (or have already been suggested to her). Since
she teaches the class every fall, I'm most hoping for film suggestions
from 2009/2010 (2008 at the earliest). It's the currency part of the
equation that always proves to be tricky for us. Also, she definitely
concentrates on non-U.S. films.
Best,
Meghann

*Subject:* [Videolib] Collective Brain: Gender Issues in Foreign
Feature Films
Hi All,
My annual appeal to the collective brain:
I have a women's studies instructor who teaches a class on gender
issues in world film each fall. 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,

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.
