Searching for African videos

Use the Library Catalog to search for your topic, then narrow results using format in the left column "facets" to "Video (all formats)." Simplest method is to search "Africa" or "Africa" with a country name, director, or subject term. Our collection of 500-1,000 videos include feature films, documentaries, performances, interviews, television exposés, ethnographic works (see also Ethnographic Video Online), and art pieces.
