He isn't interested in videos in which meeting conduct is limited to checklists or discussed by talking heads. Ideally, he'd like to find visual materials that show how speakers - as well as audiences - behave and react in public speaking situations in countries including Brazil, China, Germany, India, and Japan. There are many videos that present meeting behaviors and expectations in the checklist/talking heads format, but I've really hit a brick wall when it comes to videos capturing "real life" experiences. What I've considered instead is finding film clips from dramas, comedies, and documentaries that would help describe meeting cultures in various countries. For example, for U.S. meetings, clips from the following films might be good to consider: * The Family Man * Wall Street * The Informant * The Yes Men Possible TV Shows: The Apprentice, Dragon's Den (UK) Would anyone have ideas on films that have done a good job representing meetings and business presentations in the following countries? * Brazil * China * Germany * India * Japan * UK If you do, please share the film title, year, and the country/culture represented. Thank you for any and all help!

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
