I don t know of any on-line catalogs. However, I do have a number of
catalogs from various ethnographic/anthropological film distributors, which
I use in planning the ethnographic film seminar that I have led the last
few years. The most widely distributed general list of films and
distributors is probably Karl Heider s "Films for anthropological
teaching" (Washington DC, American Anthropological Association), but the
latest copy that we have in our library is from 1983. Not all of the
distributors in that listing still have the same address. I ve had letters
returned from several of the addresses.
Here in the nordic countries, we have a film association that has a
collection of about 90 films which may be loaned out to member institutions
in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland. (The member institutions
are primarily departments of anthroplogy at universities, and ethnographic
museums). Most of the films I use in my seminar come from here. NAFA also
arranges annual film conferances.
