Films for teaching

[Roy, Cynthia B]

John Gumperz made a film a while back called CROSSTALK; I'm not sure who
distributes it but it's a great film for showing cross-cultural differences
in everyday life.

Hi-

I'm in search of films for teaching a cross-cultural
(intercultural) communication class. I am NOT looking
for films ABOUT this topic, but rather films that
would be good to use as examples of intercultural
communication, or as examples of discourse norms in
various cultures. I also may use these as primary data
for student papers, if I can find some good ones.

Please send me any ideas/suggestions, especially if
you have used such films before!

I will post a summary and eventually my complete list
(I've tried to search for an existing list but have
found none).

Thanks-

Scott
