>>  My name is Pierre Morize. I am a film director. I am actually
>>  working on a
>>  documentary about comparative and historic linguistique.
>>  I will be filming the linguists work in the Max Planck institut for
>>  evolutionary anthropology in Leipzig, Germany directed by Bernard
>>  Comrie but
>>  also in the field.
>>  In order to illustrate the amazing language diversity I am trying
>>  to collect
>>  "origin mythe" from different language families. The ideal vould
>>  be a video
>>  (any format would be good) showing a native speakers telling the story of
>>  his "origin mythes". I would need between 5 and 10 exemples from language
>>  families that "sound" very different (khoisan, altaic, athapascan,
>>  afroasiatic, austronesian, uralic, autralian...ect).
>>  I could also use recording with photographes of the speaker and his
>>  environment.
>>  Of course, I will also need a transcription and a detailled
>>  translation of
>>  the text.
>>
>>  My film is dedicated to be broadcast in several public channels with
>>  educative and cultural aims. My goal is to use the hight audiance
>>  of TV, to
>>  convey information about linguistic and concerns about endangered
>>  languages.
>>
>>  If you possess such material and if you are willing to share it with a
>>  broader public thank you for contacting me.
>>  sincerely,
