The Royal Anthropological Institute Film and Video Library

Royal Anthropological Institute, 50 Fitzroy St, London W1T 5BT
Tel: 0171 3870455

The Royal Anthropological Institute set up its Film Library in 1971 and since then has built up an unrivalled collection of anthropological films. Many have now been made available as video-cassettes. These for the most part show how people live in non-industrialised societies - the huge proportion of the world's population who live in small, rural communities and obtain their food largely through their own efforts as farmers, cattle keepers or hunters. The entire series of the Disappearing World films produced by Granada Television is included in the Film Library, as well as many films made on much smaller budgets by individual anthropologists. In recent years, the scope of the film library has somewhat broadened and there are, for instance, some films that can be used in courses on Urban Anthropology.

All of the films have been chosen for their educational value rather than for their technical merits, although in many cases the technical quality is very high. The films included are genuinely informative about unfamiliar ways of life and seek to present these ways of life as sensible, intelligible and worthy of understanding and respect.

Films and video-cassettes are widely hired by primary and secondary schools, universities, museums, local societies and other interested groups. While the films are extensively used by specialists, they have been selected with wider audiences in mind. The aim is to make anthropological films available to all in the UK who wish to use anthropological material for educational purposes.

Films and video-cassettes from the RAI Film and Video Library are distributed for hire from:

Concord Video and Film Council Limited, 201 Felixstowe Road, Ipswich, Suffolk IP3 9BJ
Tel: 01473 726012, Fax: 01473 274531

All bookings should be made through Concord.

Two catalogues about the titles in the Film and Video Library, giving full details and bibliographic reference, may be purchased from the RAI (Vol. I 1982; Vol. II 1990) for £9.00 each. Note: Films and video-cassettes are not hired out overseas.

There are also demographic, physical, religious and linguistic maps of the Indian sub-continent. Main subject categories for the collection are architectural styles; agricultural techniques; material culture, dress and ornament; religious ritual; trade and commerce; settlement patterns and house types; transport; animal husbandry.

The Department library also holds a small video film collection dealing with areas of Africa, Asia, Near and Middle East, South America and Europe. These are used for teaching purposes within the Department. These collections are catalogued and may be viewed on application to Dr Helen Kanitkar.
