    Reply to Portia Cobb;
    I would suggest the text "Cross-Cultural Filmmaking" by Ilisa Barbash and
    Lucien Taylor published by the U. of California Press.
    Also, DER has two new video/film releases which are very effective in the
    classroom for teaching Documentary film making. One is called "passing girl,
    riverside: An Essay in Camera Work" by Kwame Braun. It is the deconstruction
    of the act of filming, deals with ethics-very well done. It will be shown at
    the Mead Festival in NYC this year, it won an award at the Educational Media
    Awards in California, and it is nominated for the Basil Wright Prize at the
    RAI in London.
    You can rent or purchase a video from DER.
    The second is a 16mm film (available in video) called "Pepino Mango
    Nance". It is black and white, 11 minutes long and a little "gem"
    of a film. It was made by two students, Bann Roy and Gillian
    Goslinga at USC, for a classroom assignment. It demonstrates to students
    what can be accomplished under very restricted means.
    It won the best student film award at the SVA film festival and
    will also be screened at the Mead this year.

    You may get more information about each of these titles
    on the DER Web site under NEW RELEASES:
