New Cultural Anthropology Subject List
Anthropology is a broad field of study so to help you navigate to appropriate First Run/Icarus Films quickly, we are pleased to launch a new Cultural Anthropology subject page. Titles from the cultural anthropology collection include ARAB DIARIES, a five-part series focusing on the milestones of life, like marriage and work, of Arab individuals from various countries and notable for providing perspectives from Arab women; the classic CHRONICLES OF A SUMMER from filmmaking legends Jean Rouch and Edgar Morin, who explored the lives of Parisians during the summer of 1960 while war raged in Algeria in one of the early cinema verité films; and from our new releases, EVERYTHING’S FINE, the story of Seydou Konaté, the only doctor for 40,000 people in Southern Mali, offering revealing insights into the challenges of health care in Africa today. Check out the new Cultural Anthropology section.

Prizes and Screenings at the Upcoming
Society for Visual Anthropology Film Festival
We've just been informed that we have six films screening at the SVA Film Festival this November, and that three have won prizes! This festival is part of the American Anthropological Association Annual Conference.

LA SIERRA was given the Award of Excellence, the highest honor the SVA bestows on a film. THE DEVIL'S MINER was given an Award of Commendation, while COMPADRE won the Fieldwork Prize, “since the problems it depicts are so like those of many anthropologists in the field, and so rarely discussed.”

Additionally, TO BE SEEN, THE HUMAN HAMBONE and BRULY BOUABRE'S ALPHABET will be honored with screenings at this largest meeting of anthropologists in the world!
