They were stre'tchecl in order to include films dealing with pollu- tion, crime, civil rights, and other such contemporaryconcerns; films surveying different nations of the world with little analysis of the historyor government of the people; and films presenting the philosophical views of respected (andnot so respected) thinkers. If this listing of films was expanded in these areas, itwas also restricted in a significant way. In general, films studying isolatedor primi- tive groups of people having little contact with the mainstream society ofa nation were not included. Such films can be easily found in the catalog Films: The Visualization of Anthropology. Indeed, readers are urged to consultcata- logs in different subject areas to locate the films best suited to their needs. A complete list of publications may be found at the end of this catalog. Distributor designations have been standardized according to the National Information Center for Educational Media Index to 16mm Educational Films (NICEMI. The index is available from NICEM, University of Southern California, University Park, Los Angeles, California 90007. A number of people aided me in the preparation of this catalog: James Brucker, William Kienzle, Terri Pierson, and Thomas Pierson looked atmany films with me. They reviewed films in their areas of specializationto check the accuracy, assess the value, and determine the best audience for certain films. Richard W. Nagle, Compiler aild Editor Using This Catalog Ttt:..) title of each film listed is followed by its distributor'scode, release date, run- ning time, catalog number, and rentalfee.
