Searching the Catalog to find movies made in a country, by directors from that country, or in a foreign language.
Here we use French Movies as an example, you can replace "french" with "chinese", "japanese", "russian", "german", etc..

Step 1. Select Keyword search from the first screen.
Step 2. Enter the phrase "motion pictures french".


 

For a completely comprehensive search, you should also do a second search for a small number of titles cataloged slightly differently—with the name of country instead of the adjective for country:

Step 1. Select Keyword search from the first screen.
Step 2. Enter the phrase "motion pictures france".
Step 3. Select video/DVD in the last box.
