In the Optional Limits box do to the LANGUAGE box and select the language from the drop-down menu. Then  go to the VIDEOS/DVDs box and select "All" from the drop-down menu. Alternatively, you can select "Videos, Films, and Slides" from the drop-down menu next to "Limit all searches to:" instead of "View entire collection."

To search for ALL films about a country or culture in any language, go to the KEYWORD search screen. Type your term in the search box, for example. JAPANESE. In the Optional Limits box do to the LANGUAGE box and select the language from the drop-down menu. Then  go to the VIDEOS/DVDs box and select "All" from the drop-down menu.
