Some other films on stolen artefacts:

Hello,

Errol Morris's "Mr. Death:The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr."
includes lengthy video, stills, and reenactments of Leuchter carelessly
combing thru debris and chiseling away at Auschwitz. There is a
historian in the film who remarks on this treading upon sacred ground
as well. Sounds like it might fit what you are looking for.

Best,

Not sure this is the kind of looting you are considering for your research
project but Memory of Looting (Argentina, 2004) by Fernando Solanas might
interest you.

The Pink Panther and The Return of the Pink Panther (possibly others in
the series as well)  The jewel was important to the history/culture of the
country.
National Treasure

Would Jason and the Argonauts count?

FAMOUS FACES YET NOT THEMSELVES: The Misfits and Icons of Postwar America

MODERATOR'S NOTE: New release from the University of Minnesota Press

----

From: mktgtwo <at> umn.edu

A revealing examination of the impact of photography on the image of  
postwar Hollywood acting

FAMOUS FACES YET NOT THEMSELVES: The Misfits and Icons of Postwar  
America
By George Kouvaros
University of Minnesota Press | 256 pages | 2010
ISBN 978-0-8166-4747-7| paperback | $24.95
ISBN 978-0-8166-4746-0| hardcover  | $75.00

Famous Faces Yet Not Themselves offers a multilayered study of the  
Magnum photographs from the 1961 film The Misfits. By closely  
scrutinizing the images from one of America's most haunting and least  
understood films, George Kouvaros presents a new recognition of the  
connection between the power of star culture, art photography, and the  
film industry during a time of rapid social transformation.

"In an amazing gesture, George Kouvaros dilates The Misfits, the  
events of its making, and the photographic record to frame an analysis  
of the theory and practice of Method acting, as they intersect with  
the contemporary star system and with the reshaping of movie making in  
the wake of the studio system's collapse. It is in many ways  
stunning." -Sharon Willis, University of Rochester

From: flow <at> uts.cc.utexas.edu

Greetings,

We want to let you know that the new issue of Flow: A Critical Forum on
Television and Media Culture is available at http://flowtv.org.

This issue features columns from Amanda Kelin, Zoe Druick, Julia  
Lesage, James Bennett, Charles Acland, Hannah Hamad and Paul Achter.

This issue's columns in brief:

"The D2D Release: Notes on a Burgeoning Market" by Amanda Klein (http://flowtv.org/?p=4902 
)
Direct-to-DVD (D2D) films are often ignored by academic discourse, yet  
the study of D2D films offers an important contribution to the fields  
of both reception and genre studies.

"While You Were Out: The Canadian Media Have Disappeared" by Zoe  
Druick (http://flowtv.org/?p=4898)
The CRTC's decision to allow private television networks in Canada to  
sell content to cable and satellite carriers may have broader policy  
implications.

"Watching for Botox" by Julia Lesage (http://flowtv.org/?p=4890)
The visibility of botox on Damages leads the author to reflect on how  
cosmetic surgery appears on television and in public life, and why.

"'Wanna Be On Top?': America's Next Top Model and Evaluating  
Presentation Performance as Televisual Skill" by James Bennett (http://flowtv.org/?p=4894
