<p><i><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">** I have also posed this question to the PUBLIB listserv. Please excuse cross posting.**<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">We are curious how other libraries organize/shelve their foreign film/world cinema movie collections. Do you organize them by country or language or a combination of both? Or, are they mixed in with your movies
in English?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">We have movies divided by country, if other than the U.S., but we also have a section for DVDs in Spanish. Because it’s not clear what should go where, we have inconsistencies such as finding some of Pedro Almodovar’s
titles in the Spanish DVD collection and others in the Spain section of the World Cinema collection.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">If you have any guidelines you follow as to how to assign a DVD a country or language, please share those as well, if you can. Many movies have a director hailing from one country that film a movie based in
another country (e.g., the documentary <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14573620/">
Room Without a View</a> – a German filmmaker making a movie about migrant domestic workers in Lebanon – would that be Germany or Lebanon, if you divide by country?). If you divide by language, what about movies that are in multiple languages – how do you decide
which language to file it under? If all of your world and movies in other languages are shelved together with movies in English, do you somehow sticker or indicate on the physical item?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Any advice or thoughts on organizing movies from countries other than the U.S. would be welcome.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Thanks in advance for any time you have to offer to my questions,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
