The only publication that compares to the *MLA Bibliography* in film studies may be the *Film Literature Index,* published both quarterly and in an annual compilation by (as I recall) SUNY-Albany. It is an exhaustive listing of book and article citations related to film and television, and very valuable in that its scope is widely international. I would imagine a college or larger public library in Montgomery would carry it in its reference section. If not, drive up to Tuscaloosa: Jeremy probably has it digitized ;-) A good starting place for mail-order videos is Facets in Chicago; obtain their master catalogue for $10.00 by calling (800) 331-6197. They issue frequent updates (in fact, I received one just today). They have carried, and probably still do, *Salaam Bombay!,* S10343, $79.95. Facets maintains a good, broad scope of titles, but I find my requests are often on back-order, which can be inconvenient if one wishes to use the tapes for courses. There is also a number of specialty video distributors that can be located by searching the 'net; for some reason, I have found Yahoo! and Webcrawler to be the most efficient engines for this. _______________________________________________________________________________ William Lafferty, PhD Department of Theatre Arts [log in to unmask] Wright State University office (937) 775-4581 or 3072 Dayton, OH 45435-0001 USA facsimile (937) 775-3787 The universe was once conceived almost as a vast preserve, landscaped for heroes, plotted to provide them the appropriate adventures. The rules were known and respected, the adversaries honorable, the oracles articulate and precise as the directives of a six-lane parkway. Errors of weakness or vanity led, with measured momentum, to the tragedy which resolved everything. Today, the rules are ambiguous, the adversary is concealed in aliases, the oracles broadcast a babble of contradictions. --- Maya Deren, from her notes for *At Land* ---- Screen-L is sponsored by the Telecommunication & Film Dept., the University of Alabama.
