The library has a film collection that includes documentaries and feature films related to many topics in German Studies. Do a keyword search on your topic in Primo and use the Advanced Search to see which films are available.

Ways to use Advanced Search:

• Search by author/creator if you know the director's name
• Search by title if you know the film title
• Limit the Material Type to Film & Video 

Search tips for finding film reviews:

Search titles in both English and German.

• Der Vorleser OR The Reader

When the film title has more than one word, use quotes around the title.

• "Alles auf Zucker"

When the film title is one word, use one of these strategies:

• Add the word film or motion picture or movies. Ex. Lichter and (film or motion picture or movies)
• Add the director's name. Ex. Sasha and "Dennis Todorovic"
• Try combining both strategies. Ex. Reader and Daldry and (film or motion picture or movies)

When searching databases for reviews,

• Use date ranges to look for reviews when the film was released.
• Limit to reviews if this option is available.
