Hi Natalia,
Women Make Movies has several titles you may find interesting in our Latina Studies collection found here: http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/collect10.shtml We also have a new release I highly recommend titled, Ella es el Matador. Here is a synopsis: For Spaniards-and for the world-nothing has expressed their country's traditionally rigid gender roles more powerfully than the image of the male matador. So sacred was the bullfighter's masculinity to Spanish identity that a 1908 law barred women from the sport. Visually stunning and beautifully crafted, ELLA ES EL MATADOR (She is the Matador) reveals the surprising history of the women who made such a law necessary, and offers fascinating profiles of two female matadors currently in the arena, the acclaimed Maripaz Vega and neophyte Eva Florencia. These women are gender pioneers by necessity, confronting both bull and social code. But what emerges through this mesmerizing film is their truest motivation-a sheer passion for bullfighting, in the pursuit of a dream. http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c755.shtml Best, Amy Aquilino Women Make Movies Distribution and Sales Coordinator 462 Broadway, Suite 500 New York, NY 10013 (p)212-925-0606 ext. 305 (f)212-925-2052 Dear All, I am new to this listserv and have an immediate, specific question. I am trying to find a source that has films from Latin America or Spain which our academic library can buy which will include the Public Performance Rights. I have looked at the Kino International catalog but it seems they have a very limited number of titles from this region. Can anyone recommend another source that would have more titles from this region that would include the PPR? Many thanks for your assistance in advance. Feel free to contact me off-list.

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.
