Films for
Cinema for Language Conversation

 

Scroll down for individual languages


While we at Focus Publishing cannot guarantee the availability of the films featured in any of the books in our Cinema for Language Conversation series, we have put together the following guide to help you and your students make the most of these wonderful texts as teaching tools.

 

 Where to begin?

On any of our Cinema for Language Conversation individual book's page, you can click on a film's title and you will be taken to the Amazon.com page where the DVD (or VHS) of that film is sold.

You may also try your local video store or your local Barnes & Noble. Depending on your preference either to buy or to rent, you will find these two sources a good jumping-off point. Most of the films are available through the following three venues, or a combination of these three:

www.amazon.com
www.bn.com
www.blockbuster.com

Specialized language distributors are not only a great resource for purchases, but by the nature of their business also keep “a finger on the pulse” of where else these films may be currently available. Our best choices for language distributors are:

Applause Learning: www.applauselearning.com

World of Reading: www.wor.com, for a variety of videos and DVDs in various modern langauges..

www.1worldfilms.com

 

What if I can’t find all the films here? What about out-of-print titles?

If you’re still having trouble, our authors and our customers have found in the past that the best way to find some of these hard-to-get foreign films is to search a used market online, such as:

www.ebay.com
www.half.com

 

What if I don’t want to buy?

If buying any or all of the films featured in these textbooks is not in the budget for your school, you may consider the following rent-by mail services:

www.netflix.com (monthly membership rent-by-mail service)

www.facets.org (specialty language rent-by-mail service)

www.cervantes.org

We wish you the best of luck, and thank you for choosing Focus Publishing for your courses!


Sometime you need to know the English title, or the year of release, to order a film. Where possible, a link has been provided where you can purchase the title on Amazon.
