The Bodman Collection of
Middle Eastern Films
This outstanding collection includes films on a wide range of topics and genres relating to the Middle Eastern and the Islamic World, including documentaries on art and architecture; anthropological, geographical and political studies; literary classics; and feature films.

The collection has been amassed over the past twenty years, largely through the efforts of Ellen-Fairbanks Bodman, UNC Film Consultant and internationally-recognized specialist on films of the Middle East and Islamic World. Through her close association with the annual Middle East Studies Association (MESA) FilmFest and with the Southeast Regional Middle East and Islamic Studies Seminar (SERMEISS), and the North Carolina Department of Social Sciences, the MRC has been able to build a collection useful for academic scholarship, research, instruction, and outreach efforts to schools and the general public. Today, this collection is subsidized through a grant from the United States Department of Education, in coordination with UNC’s Center for Global Initiatives.

The Finehout Film Collection
In 2002, Robert Finehout donated much of his film collection to the Media Resources Center at UNC-Chapel Hill, with the assurance to donate more films in the future. The collection consists of several hundred 16mm prints of TV documentary series, classroom films, Warner Bros. and Disney cartoon anthologies, wartime training and informational films and many feature film classics, including The Grapes of Wrath, Rear Window, Casablanca and Gone with the Wind. The Finehout Film Collection is available for viewing through the Media Resources Center.
