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:

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
