AV tools for teaching intro to ling anth (esp. films, youtubes, etc)

[Elizabeth Spreng]

Hello all,
As the break here is quickly drawing to an end, I have been watching  
films, dare I say it, like a mad woman. There are two that have really  
blown me away because of their applicability to a number of classes and  
one that I just feel is wonderful to begin/continue a discussion of  
race.

1. Europe in One Room
This is a bonus DVD packaged with Fishkin's book "When the People  
Speak."
2. September 11.
11 films embodying perspectives from around the word.
3. Schwarzfahrer (Translated title "Black Rider," Colloquial "Driver  
without a Licence or in this case "Rider without a Ticket."
Set in Berlin, a beautiful black and white short on racism (won an  
Academy Award). It was included on a compilation called Short  
"Invention" but also on another film "Inch' Allah Dimanche" (which I  
have not watched yet.

Have a wonderful week-end,
Elizabeth Spreng

Here are some more videos that might be useful for teaching, from Mother
Jones:
