America Beyond the Color Line	(2003) Following his acclaimed PBS series, Wonders of the African World, Harvard's chair of Afro-American Studies, Henry Louis Gates now travels the length and breadth of the United States to take the temperature of modern black America at the start of the new century. For Gates, this is both the best and the worst of times. Black Americans are center stage in almost every arena and opportunities have opened up which just three decades ago seemed unimaginable. But huge obstacles remain: many African Americans say they still feel excluded from mainstream American life and a fifth of all black Americans currently lives below the poverty line. Gates travels to four very different parts of America - the East Coast, the deep South, inner city Chicago and, finally, Hollywood. He explores this rich and diverse landscape, social as well as geographic. And he meets the people who are defining black America, from the most famous and influential - Colin Powell, Quincy Jones, Samuel L. Jackson, Fannie Mae's Franklin Raines, Jesse Jackson, Russell Simmons, Alicia Keys, Maya Angelou, Morgan Freeman - to those at the grassroots.(220 minutes, color/B&W)
American Porn	It's one of the hottest industries in America.  Easier to order at home than a pizza, bigger than rock music, it's arguable the most profitable enterprise in cyberspace.  AT&T is in the business.  Yahoo! has profited from it.  Westin and Marriott make more money selling it than they do snacks and drinks in their minibars.  And with estimates as high as $10 billioin a year, it boasts the kind of earnings every American business envies.   It's pornography - and with adult movies, magazines, retail stores, and the growth of the Internet - business is booming.  FRONTLINE reports on the forces behind the recent explosion of sexually explicit material available in American society and the pending political battle that may soon engulf the multibillion dollar pornography industry.
American Tongues: "Center for New American Media"	(56 min) "American Tongues" portrays some of the interesting regional, social, and ethnic differences in American speech, and the attitudes that people have about these differences. Because it builds upon the natural curiosity Americans have about dialects, audiences will find it quite entertaining. At times, however, it is also blunt and straightforward as it depicts the kinds of attitudes Americans have about their speech. The presentation is intended to educate viewers about the nature of dialects, but it also challenges them to confront their own attitudes about language variation. Some of the educational content is obvious, as basic facts about language differences are presented directly; however, other important insights can be gleaned from the real life scenarios that are presented. A post-viewing discussion based upon some of the scenarios can enhance the educational value of the documentary considerably.

.	It is considered the most compelling question in history: where do human beings come from? Life has existed for millions of years, but only in the past two centuries have we started using science to illuminate the roots of our species. In 1856 the bones of an extinct ancestor were unearthed in Western Europe and found to be more than 40,000 years old. A few years later, Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species explicated evolution, creating a controversial and hotly contested debate. APE TO MAN chronicles the discoveries and theories that have led to our current understanding of evolution, including discarded postulations, an elaborate hoax that baffled science, and the key elements that separate man from ape.  THE HISTORY CHANNEL narrates the ongoing quest for the origins of humanity - a search fueled by courage, commitment, and the desire for the truth.

Baby Talk	Study of language acquisition in early life {with N. Besnier}
Bali: Mask of Rangda	Bali, that lush, tropical isle, brimming with South Sea romance, is also the arena for a spectacular psychodrama representing the classic battle of Good vs. Evil. A society of rice farmers/artisans, the Balinese live lives based on mutual support, cooperation and sharing. To maintain this peaceful culture, and recognizing the destructive nature that lies within each of them, the Balinese practice elaborate rituals with the goal of exorcising violent tendencies. One of these is the dangerous and dramatic trance ritual of Rangda the evil Witch vs. the good Barong. Ordinary villagers in trance states stab one another and themselves with sharp plowshares. Miraculously, blood is never drawn, even though the battle is intense. When the battle ends, the desire for violence has been exorcised. The villagers' descent into madness has ended with their rebirth into sanity and wholeness, thereby preserving the Spirit of Cooperation that marks Balinese society. We also view the Kejak, an epic drama in the manner of ancient Greek tragedy, with a chorus of 250 villagers narrating the story in a distinctive and haunting chant. Filmed in remote villages on Bali, this harrowing ritual is presented by Elda Hartley in a way that shows the beauty and peaceful nature of the Balinese as a counterbalance to the psychodrama that unfolds.

Behavioural Observation: Keys to Success - Volume 2	Volume 2, Keys to Success, centres on Behavioural Categories. Examples of students' field projects on Lundy Island show how categories are developed in relation to different research questions. Dictaphone and keyboard recording are compared. In Task 1 a sequence of kittiwake behaviour is repetitively shown and dissected. By scrutinising written definitions and example excerpts, viewers cumulatively learn twelve categories in four stages. Each stage is followed by practice recordings, in which a single letter is written for each category and 5 sec time bleeps are marked. Task 2 requires viewers to apply the same categories to a different sample sequence. Two versions of the film are given sequentially on the same cassette, the first for viewers who do all the tasks with pencil and paper, and the second giving instructions for keyboard recording, using a PC or Macintosh computer, supported by an excerpt from the Observer software on an accompanying floppy disk. Both versions go on to explain Inter-Observer Correlations (IOC), Agreement Matrices, and Time-window Agreements. In Task 3 pairs of viewers with pencil and paper records transcribe these to a matrix, and hand calculate IOC. Pairs using keyboard recording perform IOC's directly on their data files using the Observer software, which also allows them to explore manipulations of the window. There is an optional addition exercise sequence of kittiwake behaviour at the end of the cassette.
Behavioural Observation: Observing Ourselves - Volume 4	Video Course 4, "Observing Ourselves", introduces the ethological approach to the study of our own species, using the example of children in a universtiy playgroup. A simple list of categories is presented which was collapsed from a larger list used in a classic study in a similar setting (Smith and Connolly 1980). The categories are explained in previews of some of the episodes before Task 1 begins. Task 1 consists of a number of 30 sec film episodes of focal children whose behaviour can be scored either on the check sheets provided, or by means of computer keyboard recording using the specially prepared excerpts from The Observer software on the discs included in the pack. The computer is configured for Continuous recording, but paper-&-pencil users can choose either this or One-zero recording. Task 2 is a longer excerpt for Continuous recording of the social interactions of a single focal child. (A second alternative excerpt is available in the appendix). The same categories may be applied, with the addition of modifiers to codes where the object of the action needs to be specified. Alternatively viewers may wish to develop and practise their own recording techniques. The facilities for sequential analysis provided in The Observer software are introduced. These can be explored further using the Help screens provided. Tutor notes included in the pack provide a broader perspective on the observation of human behaviour, suggest other projects students might like to carry out for themselves, and give a bibliography for further study. While these exercises have been made as simple as possible, the necessity for much preliminary and practise observation becomes apparent. The overall aim of this series is to present the fascinating potential and indispensability of observing behaviour in natural settings, and to raise awareness of the methodological rigour and technical deterity required to obtain scientifically useful data.
Behavioural Observation: Representative Samples - Volume 3	Volume 3, Representative Samples, uses for its material the social behaviour of a colony of captive chimpanzees. In Task 1 viewers are encouraged to make their own written notes on an excerpt in which a female chimp painstakingly fishes with a stick to reach an apple in the moat, only to have it expropriated by a big male. The free but potentially unrepresentative nature of such ad libitum observation is now contrasted with more systematic methods of sampling. Tasks 2, 3 and 4 employ the same short sequence of one animal grooming another, and the same 3 simple categories, but involve sampling the behaviour in 3 different ways, viz Instantaneous sampling, One-zero sampling, or Continuous recording. The 3 data sets generated are then compared, enabling the pros and cons of each method to be evaluated. Viewers can either write code letters in the proformas supplied, or follow film instructions on how to use the accompanying student version of the Observer software to record directly on to a computer. In Task 5 the advantages of continuous recording of a focal individual in a longer excerpt are now illustrated using a more extensive set of codes, again with the option of computer or paper & pencil recording. More complex techniques of behaviour sampling and sequence sampling are then described. Finally, to exemplify behaviour observation in practise, Julia Casperd explains her Ph.D. research on social relations in the colony. After the credits some additional excerpts are provided which will enable considerable exploration of the recording and analytical potential of The Observer software. A set of tutor's notes is included in the pack.
Bethel - Community and Schizophrenia in Northern Japan	Bethel House was founded in 1984 to support people with psychiatric disabilities living in the community.

Black Is…Black Ain't	When Marlon Riggs died of AIDS at the age of 37, he was completing a film which summed up a lifetime's work exploring African American identity. Variety concluded:"Riggs couldn't have left a more effective or challenging legacy to the Black community."  Black Is...Black Ain't weaves together the testimony of those whose complexion, class, gender, speech or sexuality has made them feel "too black" or "not Black enough". Scholars and artists, including Bill T. Jones, Essex Hemphill, Angela Davis and bell hooks, as well as ordinary African Americans, movingly recall their own struggles to discover a more inclusive definition of "Blackness". Threading the film togerther is Riggs' own deeply personal quest for meaning and self-affirmation as his health deteriorates.  In the end, Riggs locates the essence of "Blackness" in African Americans' courage from slavery down to the present to improvise a positive meaning for their lives in the face of overwhelming discrimination and suffering. Black Is...Black Ain't is an important contribution towards building a Black community based on profound empathy for the struggle for self-affirmation fought by each African America.
Blood Diamond	Amid the explosive civil war overtaking 1999 Sierra Leone, an ex-mercenary turned smuggler (Leonardo DiCaprio) and a Mende fishermen (Djimon Hounsou) join for two desperate missions: recovering a rare pink diamond of immense value and rescuing the fisherman's son, conscripted as a child soldier into the brutal rebel forces ripping a swath of torture and bloodshed across the alternately beautiful and ravaged countryside.  Motion picture directed by Edward Zwick, with director commentary.  (2006, DVD, 143 min.)
Blood Timber (Part I)                  Earth Report VII	The insatiable demand for hardwood and bush meat is laying waste not only to primates and other wildlife in west and central Africa but also to the indigenous Baka people. Blood Timber takes us to the embattled rainforests of Cameroon, where bush meat poachers are using timber trails to access remaining wildlife deep in the jungle. We will show how, despite the awareness in the rich world, its consumers continue to buy the goods - hardwood, soya and palm oil - that are levelling the forest. And while recognizing the need for conservation groups and aid agencies to garnish a diet of bad news with good news we will ask, "Is the public being greenwashed?"
Blood Timber (Part II)                  Earth Report VIII	Earth Report is back on the trail of the bushmeat poachers and traders of Central Africa. Traveling throughout south-east Cameroon and northern Congo, we witness some of the impacts of the logging industry. We find that the roads built to get the logs out have become a highway for the bushmeat traders. While logging companies, governments and some wildlife groups claim their control measures are working, Earth Report has obtained undercover footage, filmed by a former poacher, that reveals the true extent of the bushmeat trade, and asks, "Is the public getting the full picture?"

Chimp Talk	Explores the controversial issue of language use by apes. (14 mins., color)
Chimpanzees Today (From the Primate Series)	(2001)  Anne Zeller - Chimpanzees Today is an overview of the various roles filled by chimpanzees and the situations in which they currently live. It begins by briefly discussing the precipitous drop in wild populations and some of the history of Jane Goodall's research at Gombe, focusing on the discoveries that promoted the use of the chimpanzee model in studying Human evolution. It then covers some of the situations in which chimps find themselves in captivity. These include the sanctuaries in Africa set up for infant chimpanzees rescued from poachers, and some of the zoo habitats in which they are held. The question of the suitability of chimpanzees as zoo animals is raised. The captive situation is then expanded to coverage of chimps as show animals, as pets, as participants in medical research, and as participants in behavioural research such as self recognition, language use and in the study of chimpanzee painting. The need for captive sanctuaries for animals who have outgrown their usefulness as pets, or show animals, or have been retired from medical research is addressed. Returning to the theme of the use of the chimpanzee model in hominid evolution, the video includes a short segment on captive Bonobos. Thes are the other species of chimpanzee; a very rare form who may in fact be more similar in behaviour to early hominids than are common chimpanzees. It ends with a plea for conservation of wild chimpanzees since without them all the contributions which the captive ones make will no longer be sustainable. Of particular value in the video are the sections on actual footage from a medical research laboratory, mirror self recognition, and the level of language facility gained by chimpanzees who are NOT the focus of special language training programs. I do not think that anyone watching this video will be unaware of the social and intellectual kinship between humans and chimpanzees. The question then becomes 'What are our responsibilities towards them?'  (36 minutes, color)

Crosstalk	Communication and miscommunication between different socio-cultural groups.  (25 mins)
Dadi's Family	Dadi is the grandmother and mother-in-law, or, as she explains, the “manager” of an extended family.  In the Haryana region of Northern India, women leave their natal villages and come as strangers to the households of their husband’s mothers.  This film explores the family and it’s problems particularly through the women of Dadi’s family.  The women speak about inherent tensions created by the authority of Dadi, the loneliness of veiled daughters-in-law who always remain outsiders, and husbands’ expectations that wives will labor in the fields, fetch water and cow dung, and still have food and water waiting at home. Beyond the internal tensions, social and economic changes outside the village also threaten the stability and cohesion of the family.  Dadi’s third son, for example, marries a teacher in the city and Dadi frets that he will no longer contribute financially to the farm and that all the family wealth will be subdivided.  In the family, says Dadi, “we can bear anything because we all suffer together.”  Yet it is clear that her children’s generation is already ambivalent about life on the farm, and a daughter-in-law speaks of her wish for her own children to leave the village and it’s dirt.  Dadi herself is keenly aware of these processes: “Doesn’t everything change?” she asks.
Dances of Bali: Barong	Traditional Dances of Indonesia Series
Dancing with the Incas	John Cohen, 1991 (58 minutes) This extraordinary film documents the most popular music of the Andes -- Huayno music -- and explores the lives of three Huayno musicians in a contemporary Peru torn between the military and the Shining Path guerrillas. The film shows how ancient Incan music passed down through the centuries has a contemporary life of its own in the cities of Peru. Lima on Sundays is alive with Huayno music, in which one hears authentic Inca melodies performed on every conceivable type of instrument. In the moody lyrics, the musings of oppressed people assume an existential and timeless quality even when a carnival atmosphere prevails. This is one of the few ethnographic films that deals with complex issues of cultural mixture. Rather than focusing on a single community or ethnic group, the film investigates a broad cultural region and illustrates what happens to it as it confronts the commercial traditions and demands of the West. "Dancing with the Incas" will generate thought, analysis, and discussion in a wide array of courses in cultural anthropology, Latin American studies, ethnomusicology, popular culture, and the arts and humanities. It was produced by renowned filmmaker and musician John Cohen.
Daughters of the Anasazi	Lucy Lewis and her daughters, Emma and Delores, continue to make fine art Acoma pottery much the same way as their native American ancestors, the Anasazi, did over a thousand years ago.  This film documents the entire process for the first time.
Dead Birds	Dead Birds is a film about the Dani, a people in the Grand Valley of the Baliem high in the mountains of West Irian. When I shot the film in 1961, the Dani had a classic Neolithic culture. They were exceptional in the way they dedicated themselves to an elaborate system of ritual warfare. Neighboring groups, separated by uncultivated strips of no man's land, engaged in frequent battles. When a warrior was killed in battle or died from a wound and even when a woman or a child lost their life in an enemy raid, the victors celebrated and the victims mourned. Because each death had to be avenged, the balance was continually adjusted by taking an enemy life. There was no thought of wars ending, unless it rained or became dark. Wars were the best way they knew to keep a terrible harmony in a life which would be, without them, much dreaier and more difficult.  Dead Birds has a meaning which is both immediate and allegorical. In the Dani language it refers to the weapons and ornaments recovered in battle. Its other, more poetic meaning, comes from the Dani belief that people, because they are like birds, must die.  Dead Birds was an attempt to film a people from within and to see, when the chosen fragments were assembled, if they might speak not only about the Dani but also about ourselves.

Eugene Debs and the American Movement	Eugene Debs & the American Movement is an educational video that documents fifty years of long-suppressed history. Using extensively researched photographs, drawings and newsreel footage, it tells a story of the bloody strikes and brutal government reaction to the American workers' attempts to organize.  This film is movingly narrated in Deb's own words, read from his speeches and writings, by his friend and comrade, Shubert Sebree. From after the Civil War until his death in 1926, Debs was part of U.S. history at a time when the foundations of modern industrial and corporate nation were established. In this fifty year period, Debs was influenced by events as diverse as the massive railroad strike of 1877, the rapid growth of monopolies in the 1890s, World War I, and the Russian Revolution.  This film presents a unique picture of the historical conditions as well as a portrait of a man who: founded the American Railway Union; led the Pullman Strike of 1894; founded the Socialist Party of America in 1901; ran four times as the Socialist Party presidential candidate - campaigning tirelessly, explaining the principles of socialism to people across the United States; organized the Industrial Workers of the World, along with Mother Jones, Big Bill Haywood and others; served two and a half years in federal prison for opposing World War I, and received a million presidential votes while in jail. Debs and the movement he helped build are more than just nostalgia, they are roots of a long and bloody struggle of American working people to own collectively what they produce.      (45 mins) VHS

Scenes of actors portraying Darwin and his contemporaries are supplemented by interviews with experts such as Stephen Jay Gould. In further installments, various topics related to evolution, such as major transformations of species, the intellectual development of humans, the phenomenon of animal extinction, and even the organized opposition to evolutionary theory by religious fundamentalists, are discussed with considerable depth. Interview segments with scholars (and their opponents) are accompanied by extraordinary visuals, including some computer-generated sequences (such as one illustrating how whales left land and evolved in the oceans) that are dazzling. This series, which is narrated by actor Liam Neeson, is a remarkably intelligent and entertaining approach to a fascinating topic. --Robert J. McNamara

Five Species (From the Primate Series)	(1997)  Anne Zeller - FIVE SPECIES compares three species of monkeys, one prosimian and two types of apes, all living in a zoo setting. They are Japanese macaques, lion tail macaques, mandrills, black lemurs, orangutans and lowland gorillas. Each segment features several minutes of footage accompanied by descriptions of common behavior such as, eating, grooming, locomotion, play, and social interaction. The narration provides a commentary for each species; however, the comparisons between them are left to the observer and can occur at several levels. These include comparisons of their behavior as it relates to size and sexual dimorphism, comparisons in terms of phylogenetic level, or comparisons of complexity based on group size or species' differences. Since visibility is better in the wild, comparisons between footage taken in natural settings and that of caged animals allows for discussion of the possible influences of captivity on behavior. Of particular interest are the social interactions of adult orangutans. (53 minutes, color)

The film highlights the pioneering work of the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team (EAAF), formed in 1984 to examine the disappearance of at least 10,000 Argentines during the country's last military regime.
Fossil Fragments: The Riddle of Human Origins	Press Conference 3/23/04 - DVD        "Scientific evidence suggests that humans ultimately evolved from an extinct African Great Ape," says Yale Anthropology Professor Andrew Hill, a specialist on human evolution and curator of Fossil Fragments: The Riddle of Human Origins, a permanent exhibition opening on March 24 at the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History. Hill explains, "From both fossil and molecular evidence, it seems that the human lineage and African Great Ape lineage diverged from one another between 6 and million years ago." From this starting point, the exhibition provides a wealth of new evolutionary information and fossil material.  After documenting the ongoing scientific history of our ancestry and profiling the individuals involved in important fossil discoveries, the exhibition examines a procession of hominid species from the earliest, living over six million years ago, to the earliest representatives of our own species, Homo sapiens, emerging in Africa 200,000 years ago.  Fossil evidence shows that the different kinds of humans that once lived in the past were very successful animals; some existed far longer than our own species has thus far, and at some periods more than one species of hominid lived at the same time, in the same place.

Gaea Girls	"This fascinating film follows the physically grueling and mentally exhausting training regimen of several young wanna-be 'Gaea Girls', a group of Japanese women wrestlers. The idea of them may seem like a total oxymoron in a country where women are usually regarded as docile and subservient. However, in training and in the arena, the female wrestlers depicted in this film are just as violent as any member of the World Wrestling Federation, and the blood that’s drawn is very real indeed. One recruit, Takeuchi, endures ritual humiliation not seen on screen since the boot camp sequences of 'Full Metal Jacket'. In 'Divorce Iranian Style', Kim Longinotto cinematically explored the previously unexplored world of the Tehran divorce courts. Working with co-director Jano Williams, Longinotto has been given access to shoot an insider’s verité account of this closely guarded universe." - Chicago Film Festival
GAME OVER: Gender, Race & Violence in Video Games	Video and computer games represent a $6 billion a year industry. One out of every ten households in America owns a Sony Playstation.

Gender and Communication: Male-Female Differences in Language and Nonverbal Behavior	Gender exerts a powerful influence on all facets of human communication and raises many profound social issues. How does our gender affect us in everyday interactions? Are we treated differently because we are male or female? When we speak to someone, does the way we speak depend on the listener's gender?This provocative and richly discussible video explores the impact that gender has on both verbal messages (including speech, language, and vocabulary) as well as the nonverbal channels of communication such as vocal paralanguage, haptics (touch), kinesics (movement, gestures, and posture), proxemics (spatial behavior) and other "unwritten" languages. "Gender and Communication" examines a variety of fascinating topics that will engage students' interest. These include interruptions in conversations, gender bias in vocabulary and language, patterns of inequality in speech and conversation, cultural images of men and women, male-female differences in movement and kinesics, the intriguing communication changes needed by individuals who change from one gender to another, and how gender affects communication patterns in different ways in cultures around the world. "Gender and Communication" is thoughtful, compelling, powerful, and frequently outrageous. The many topics covered are significant, controversial, and of crucial importance to anyone interested in communication, social interactions, or gender differences. The video is unique in its scope, and it illustrates many gendered forms of both verbal and nonverbal behavior. As just one example, students will never forget the video's radical exploration of the imagery produced by the fashion and advertising industries. "Gender and Communication" carves new territory in its examination of the impact of gender on key areas of speech, language, social interactions, and nonverbal behavior. This landmark work will become a "must see" for students in a wide array of disciplines. It was produced by Prof. Dane Archer, of UC Santa Cruz, and is filled with the same characteristic zest, vibrancy, and instructional savvy that have brought widespread acclaim to all of his best-selling videos on nonverbal behavior, cultural differences, and communication.
