She should try searching under the LC subject heading "Motion pictures -- Mali" and limiting the format to "visual materials." There may be enough of a plot synopsis in the records to identify it, assuming that any libraries do indeed hold the film she is looking for. The subject heading "Motion Pictures -- Mali" will also pull up books about the cinema from that country. FIAF International Index to Film Periodicals indexes Variety film reviews back to 1974--that might be another place to look. The faculty member might try searching "Mali" as a keyword and limiting the publication to "Variety." She could also try EBSCOhost's Film and Television Literature Index, but I *don't* recommend using their Variety film review module--it has literally hundreds of incorrect dates and is also missing many reviews. I've cancelled our library's subscription to that database until the problems are fixed. The database's main citation index works fine, but unfortunately it doesn't index Variety before the 1990s--as far as I know. Best, James -- James M.

Jennifer ----------------- Jennifer Matthews (574)631-9038 (work) matthews...@nd.edu<mailto:matthews...@nd.edu> From: margot vanderham [mailto:margot...@yahoo.ca] Sent: Saturday, April 16, 2011 2:52 PM To: Jen Matthews Subject: african film query Hello Jennifer! I have enjoyed looking through your catalogue of African films, so many interesting ones. I am trying to find the name (and a copy of) a film I saw in Vancouver in the 80's, early 80's I believe, that was beautifully filmed and amazing as it was a feature without a word of dialogue, yet it told the story of villagers being captured for the slave trade who are freed during their journey to the port by the powers of a shaman who deliberately allows himself to be caught for a time. It was a Mali-France co-production. I wonder if you have ever heard of it or if you may have any tips on how I can find it. Many thanks for your consideration of this request!

I will check and see if he is the one to contact or if you need Paris. FYI I hope you are not looking for a print as that would get VERY expensive.
