FILMAKERS LIBRARY

 

For the past thirty-five years we have have been developing a collection of award-winning documentary films and videos primarily for educational use. Throughout our site you will see the many subjects we cover, such as psychology, sociology, anthropology, women's studies and multicultural issues. Titles from our collection are available for rental or sale to universities, schools, museums, businesses and community groups.

For most of our titles we have North American rights, although for a few we have only U.S. rights. As you browse these pages you will see we have productions from Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Channel 4, England, Film Australia, and independent producers from all over the world. By using our documentaries you will bring an added dimension to your classrooms or film programs.

To search the site, you may use our Subject Index, Title Index, or this search engine.
