Dear Bubba, 

Do you mean by saying "small" to "short feature" films, or to films
defined by critics as "small" (as in "independent", "non-bombastic")?

In addition, are there any specific films you would like to see, or is
it a general request to find sources to buy/rent movies that were not
distributed in the US?

It seems that small independent foreign or USA films are found in very
large cities like NYC, LA, Chicago, etc--     Since my friend lives in
Carrollton, Ga, he wouold still like to see them at his home thru
somesort of a rental (video/dvd/internet)--   Do you know where he can
find something?

Hello Bubba,

Without a doubt, the premier source of hard-to-find independent and
foreign films is a Chicago-based outfit known as Facets Video. For any
film buff such as yourself, their catalog is a delight. I can
recommend Facets to you without reservation. (I recently purchased
from Facets the wonderful series of films by the Polish director,
Kieslowski: The Decalogue. Like many Facets offerings, this set of 5
videotapes is part of the Facets mission to record and distribute
films that ought to be forever preserved.)  Their mailing address is:
Facets Video, 1517 W. Fullerton Ave, Chicago, IL 60614. Their Web
address is: www.facets.org.
Happy viewing!
