This project is aimed to build a database of the shots that show maps from movies and television fiction programs from all the world. We leave out of the database all those productions, like documentaries, news, learning material, etc. that do not belong to the genre of fiction. The quotations are reported in the movie's original language. Each quotation within a film is separated (if quotations are more than one) from the other by a short image. For every movie we have always made a complete examination, if not differently indicated. Quotations are accessible in mp4 format for viewing and downloading; many of them are also accessible through YouTube. Quotations are indexed in a catalog accessible here (ordered by movie title). The project is coordinated by Giacomo Andreucci, post-doc researcher at the University of Bologna, Italy ( [log in to unmask] ) and is open to every suggestion and contribution." Edward A.

The cartographer had noted the river, used as a national border, had changed its course. The results were that a lucrative mine had been transferred from one country to another, and to prevent anyone from knowing that, the mine owner killed the map maker. Is anyone on the list familiar with this film, and can give me a title? R.
