CHARISMA IN POLITICS: Analyzing Body
Language
Furrowed brows, widened eyes, clenched teeth - such
signals reveal a great deal about our leaders, and they
also influence our reactions to media images. This
program investigates ways in which facial expressions and
nonverbal communication determine political charisma
and power. Presenting examples from a wide range of
historical and current sources, the film shows how
psychologists diagram and analyze media images of
politicians. Presidents Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush,
and Bill Clinton are studied, as well as French president
Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Commentators include the eminent psychologist Dr. Paul
Ekman and renowned political philosopher Dr. Roger D.

THE ART OF LISTENING
We spend more time listening than any activity except breathing, yet we listen at only a fraction of our potential. This
engaging program teaches practical techniques to use immediately and presents listening as a skill your students can learn,
practice, and perfect. Uses home and workplace situations to teach seven "Laws of Good Listening". Illustrates the surprising
value of attentive silence, the need to find something of interest in the person speaking, and the importance of staying out
of the speaker's way. The techniques suggest how and when to take notes, the role of body language in listening, and the
need to "listen between the words" for feelings. Explores how people use different "filtering systems" to give the same
message completely different meanings. Each "law" is a key toward improved listening and communication.

THE HOLLYWOOD LIBRARIAN: A Look at Librarians
through Film
They have more cardholders than VISA, more customers than Amazon, and
more outlets than McDonald's. Meet America's librarians. This film is the
first comprehensive treatment of the subject of librarians. A vivid blend of
factual documentary, feature film, and storytelling, it reveals the history
and realities of librarianship in the entertaining and appealing context of
American movies. Interviews with actual librarians, intercut with film clips
of cinematic librarians, examine such issues as literature, books and reading, censorship, library funding, citizenship and
democracy. For the first time, we see and understand the real lives and real work of librarians who for decades have been a
cultural force hiding in plain sight.This film's subject is librarians: who they are, what they do, why they do it, and the
impact of their work in people's lives. The underlying meaning is how we express our own humanity, how we listen to
ourselves and one another in the realm of the written and read word -- a uniquely human privilege. Audiences will be
surprised and delighted by the fascinating librarians in this entertaining and enlightening film, and will emerge with a greater
appreciation for the range of literature and materials available to them thanks to librarians. The DVD contains 30 minutes of
bonus materials, including a Book Cart Drill Team featurette. #12760/0685 96 minutes 2007 Public Libraries $69.95 Others
