I just watched a series of short films in Mohawk, Cree, Muscogee, Navajo, Maori and
Girrimae (an Australian native language). All except the Maori one turned out to be completely in these languages and with English subtitles. Since entertaining materials are scarce, I believe these would be great for students of these languages and I would encourage any forum members to contact the indie directors or try to obtain a copy of the films through other channels. film_id=20106018">About the films (the forum breaks the link, it's http://www.berlinale.de/en/programm/berlinale_programm/daten blatt.php? film_id=20106018 ) Organization regularly commissioning and showcasing indigenous films, radio etc. I can also recommend film festivals in general, for the language lovers, because it is amazing how many different countries submit their films to the Berlinale, and these films are so new they haven't been dubbed yet. Plus the people attending the film festivals come from everywhere. Today I met not just the indigenous producers of four of the short films but also a group of Greeks who were attending, a Japanese director and some young Hong Kong fan girls of his, not to mention the usual crowd of English speakers and French that you can find in Berlin every day.

Thanks Sprachprofi, interesting.
Another one you may be familiar with as it received a certain amount of attention at least over here is "Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner" - entirely in Inuktitut with English subtitles (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0285441). I have not actually watched more than a few minutes of it, so I am not providing either a thumbs up or down (though probably not a great pick for vegetarians). There is also some Maori (not a lot if I remember correctly, but a taste anyways) in "Whale Rider" - a really awesome film (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0298228) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

This ancient thread needs reviving!
I just posted some pointers to some great free online resources for an Australian Aboriginal language spoken in and around Kakadu National Park. Check them out here: language.html">Learning an Australian Aboriginal Language In the post I also mention the movie "Ten Canoes" which is entirely in languages from the Yolngu Matha group of languages from north-east Arnhem Land in Australia - a truly unique experience! There should be much more of it! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Dubbed to German, that is? I don't want to turn this into a(nother) thread about dubbing, I just found that sentence amusing. 1 person has voted this message useful |
