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. 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 documet 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 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
