Wow, I cannot believe you can't find what you're looking for from Facets. I
just bought about 40 foreign prize winners from a specific catalog they
produced containing winners. It was "The film lovers collection, 2002 -
2003." If you haven't seen that particular catalog, maybe it would help.
If you are interested in cataloging assistance, our library owns a lot of
Hindi and Persian language videos and DVDs. Our head cataloger is Iranian
and he is very good.

The opinions are my own; the library wouldn't want 'em.

In case they haven't been mentioned, there's:

www.moviesunlimited.com

and, of course,

www.half.com,
www.ebay.com,
www.amazon.com

I have used all of these to find out-of-print and otherwise obscure videos.

Natalya,

I have used all the sources others have mentioned. So I did a quick search
on google and came up with this:

http://www.1worldfilms.com/

which seems to have a variety of films; comedies, adult content, war, etc,
It looks like you could search by country.

There also seem to be some other interesting results.
