Films

The Documentaries page will guide you on how to search for this genre. Finding fiction films by subject, however, is more challenging, as the vast majority of fiction films catalogued in the UAB Libraries are not indexed by subject.

1. Using the Search Engine.You can find several subject headings in the format "X in the cinema". So Dones en la cinematografia (Women in cinema) Homosexualitat en la cinematografia (Homosexuality in cinema), Emigració i immigració en la cinematografia (Migration in cinema), etc. These subject headings typically lead to academic studies (particularly books) on the topics. Within these, you may find references to film titles, which can then be searched in the UAB Search Engine by title or by author (in this case, the director).

2. At the Library. Fiction films on DVD are located on the 2nd floor and in storeroom 21, arranged alphabetically by the director’s surname. For example, Woody Allen’s films are catalogued under DVD Allen, and Icíar Bollaín’s under DVD Bollaín. Most DVDs are available for loan. DVD and Blu-ray players are also available to borrow.
