There is a wealth of literature for your student, much of it in recent
books published by Routledge and some older ones from the British Film
Institute.

There is a recent title whose author I can't recall immediately :
"Otherness and Media" From U Penn Press I think. Here are some other
relevant readings, mostly a bit older. As I said, a Routledge catalog
will get you up and running with the most recent stuff. Also there was an
excellent collection in the Visual Anthropology Review in 1994.:
