While this isn't specifically about forensic linguistics, it could be of
interests to all of us linguists, the visibility for linguists. This is a
forward from AAAL so apologies if it is duplicate posting for some of you.

The trailer (see below) is not very informative linguistically, but the
movie might be good.

We are nothing short of elated to announce that our documentary feature
THE LINGUISTS was selected to world premiere in the newly
minted "Spectrum: Documentary Spotlight" category at the 2008 Sundance
Film Festival.

THE LINGUISTS is the first documentary supported by the National Science
Foundation to ever make it to Sundance.

The trailer is at [ http://www.thelinguists.com
]http://www.thelinguists.com. Here's a brief synopsis:

It is estimated that of 7,000 languages in the world, half will be gone by
the end of this century.

THE LINGUISTS follows David Harrison and Gregory Anderson, scientists
racing to document languages on the verge of extinction. In Siberia,
India, and Bolivia, the linguists' resolve is tested by the very forces
silencing languages: institutionalized racism and violent economic unrest.

David and Greg's journey takes them deep into the heart of the cultures,
knowledge, and communities at risk when a language dies.

We hope you can join us in Utah for one (or maybe all) of the following
screenings:

Friday, January 18, 12 Noon - Egyptian Theatre, Park City
Saturday, January 19, 12:45 PM - Broadway Centre Cinemas V, Salt Lake City
Saturday, January 19, 11:30 PM - Prospector Square Theatre, Park City
Wednesday, January 23, 9:00 AM, Holiday Village Cinema I, Park City -
PRESS AND INDUSTRY ONLY
Wednesday, January 23, 8:30 PM - Holiday Village Cinema II, Park City

Tickets are available at [ http://www.sundance.org/festival/

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us or our
publicist Winston Emano at [ mailto:wemano at tcdm-associates.com

We look forward to hearing you there, in all languages!

Happy Holidays,
Seth Kramer, Daniel A. Miller, and Jeremy Newberger
