I send it for a friend  :

"Man and His Work" Center in the Eretz Israel Museum, Tel Aviv, is an
Ethno-archaeological museum, focusing on the material culture and daily
life in the Land of Israel through all periods.

This summer we intend to open an exhibition dedicated to all kinds of
bone tools and artifacts and the use of bone in general , in all its
aspects.

Wishing to make the exhibition more vivid and interesting, we would like
to include in it a film showing artisan working with bone in traditional
old methods (i.e. without electricity or engine), making a bone
artifact, etc. Such work usually included sawing, cutting, engraving,
polishing, decorating, designing on a lathe etc. We presume that such
work could be seen, for instance, in the arctic zone, among northern
Indians and such.

If anyone knows about such a film and how we can obtain it, please
notify us and help us make a better exhibition. full credit will, of
course, be given.
