Hi Lisa: Two films from New Day Films <http://www.newday.com/> that connect what we eat to the enviroments we live in.
Eating Alaska <http://www.newday.com/films/eatingalaska.html> (already on an earlier list) What happens to a vegetarian who moves to the Alaskan Frontier and marries a fisher-hunter? A serious and humorous film about food politics, food colonization, toxins, regional food traditions and our connection to the wilderness. The Shrimp <http://www.newday.com/films/The_Shrimp.html> The commercial shrimping industry along the coasts of the American South is threatened by pollution, oil spills and consumer demand for less expensive foreign imports. A meditative documentary film that follows the life, death and rebirth of one shrimp from the murky marshes of Savannah, Georgia. > Thumbs up to anything by Les Blank!

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.
