		As usual in safety films, the everyday world is a minefield of potential risks, menaces, and jeopardy, but "Guardiana, the Safety Woman" and her supernatural powers are here to protect children from harm.
		Sid Davis's most compassionate film and certainly his most unusual, AGE 13 enlists Buñuelian surrealism and a neorealist sensibility as it follows the emergence of an "at-risk" young teen from immobilizing anger to self-expression.
		Borrowing from film noir and late1950s TV drama, it might be read as a case study of a rural man trapped by his discontent with urban life.

	Hollywood and Society; enclyclo art [encl] - Title
		Whereas some films from the silent and early sound era presented poverty and social struggle from progressive perspectives sympathetic to the poor and oppressed, many films focused on the rich and celebrated wealth and power, serving as advertisements for the consumer society and the ruling elites.
		Western films, for example, assured its audiences that "civilization" could be maintained in the face of threats from criminals, outsiders, and villains of various sorts, and celebrated individualism, white male authority figures, and violence as a legitimate way of resolving conflicts.
		Thus, analyzing the connection between film and society requires a multidimensional film criticism that situates its object within the context of the social milieu within which it is produced and received.

	Greatest Film Scenes Tribute - 1960s
		The iconographic "buddy" film is both memorialized as an image of the popular and historical culture of the time and a story of a contemporary journey eastward through the American Southwest by two self-righteous, anti-hero, free-wheeling, long-haired, social misfits / dropouts / hippies.
		To increase the tension of the scene, the film is sharply edited, inter-cutting rapidly from the Bunch in the bank, to the bounty hunters, to the temperance marchers.
		In the blood ballet (partially filmed in poetic slow motion), many of the bullets strike innocent bystanders in the crowd - men, women, and children in the parade are caught in the crossfire.

	1960s Special Feature: Film Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		"Berkeley in the 1960s," a retrospective documentary directed by Mark Kitchell in 1992, uses historical footage and in-depth interviews with former students to carefully examine the evolution of student activism on the Berkeley campus from 1960 to 1969.
		The Berkeley campus was the breeding grounds for all the central movements in the 1960s beginning with the Free Speech movement in 1964 and eventually fostering the growth of the nonviolent civil rights movement, the fl power movement, the anti-war movement in the mid to late 1960s, and the women’s liberation movement.
		The film makes the point that to the delight of the conservative forces attempting to undermine the student movements, the general public stereotyped all politically active students as irresponsible, sex-crazed drug users, only concerned with having fun and doing bizarre, unconventional things.

		Such early films were found to reflect solar radiation back from a window, preventing the warming of inside surfaces normally hit by direct sunlight while still allowing vision through the glass.
		It was discovered that polyester film tended to absorb and reradiate long wave infrared heat rather than act as a transparent medium.
		These films are considered in the building industry to be "retrofit" products; that is, products to be applied to existing buildings as opposed to use in new construction.

	Darcy's Korean Film Page - 1960s
		After passage of the law, film companies were required to own their own studios and equipment, have a minimum number of actors and directors under contract, and to produce a minimum of 15 films per year.
		For audiences of the 1960s, the film highlights not only Korea's stark class divisions, but also the generation gap that was opening ever wider in that time period, with increasingly wild youth and ever more alarmed parents.
		Although it is not explained in the film, this process of rebuilding itself apparently requires the use of some of the robot's enormous mass because during the course of the film the robot size changes from an imposing 60 meters or more to a more manageable 8 meters.

	Kinoeye \| Czech film: Karel Kachyna's post-1960s films
		The golden epoch of Czech film in the 1960s was also the most creative period in Karel Kachyňa's work, which was, at that time, closely connected with the writer Jan Procházka.
		In this film, Kachyňa uses poetic images to recreate the atmosphere of Žižkov in the middle of the 20th century.
		Kachyňa's latest feature film Hanele was criticized for asserting the love story between the girl Hanele and two men: her friend from childhood Šlojme Kac and her "adult" love, a businessman Ivo Karadžič to the prejudice of repression of the historical context.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| American Independent Narrative Cinema of the '60s
		Foreign films, with their frank portrayals of sexuality, gained fresh currency; Italian neorealism, in particular, and then-cutting-edge directors like Godard, Bergman, and Fellini wielded a great influence on a new generation of filmmakers who were also filmgoers.
		Many of the films from this period have a similar rough documentary feel, as if the actors were shown the contours of a scene, then asked to improvise.
		Other films from this period use a "mock-documentary" style, with overdubbed narration and real locations — Allen Barron's late noir, Blast of Silence (1961), a recent rediscovery of a legendary film that's finally resurfaced on video, is a good example.

	CTheory.net
		Film studies professors pride themselves about how their work "demystifies" and "denaturalizes" the ideologies (usually oppressive) that govern films, especially Hollywood films.
		In contemporary film theory, the articulation of the rules of classical cinema (suturing, shot-reverse-shots, continuity editing, cause-and-effect narrative development, etc.) has become a genre of academic writing in itself, providing a reproducible teaching and research model.
		This erasure, whereby the film itself is only but one of many options on DVD, embeds the film in language that, until recently, was the province of film professors, whose authority depended upon limited access to such materials.

		Rialto Pictures is re-releasing the film; there is no new footage or anything, but the subtitles are reported to be more accurate than in previous versions.
		Because the film is sympathetic to the Algerians, you might think the colonel would emerge as the villain.
		The film's reappearance now is clearly aimed at stirring the pot in a new age of international violence.

		Although working across an array of styles and exploring a variety of subjects, several common themes can be found within many glbtq European films, such as conflicts between classes and generations, the plight of the marginalized, and the yearning for love and freedom in a repressive society.
		As with the earlier Swedish film, the relationship between the two men is handled discreetly and conveyed mainly through glances and tone.
		Two endings were created for the film; in one, Manuela dies, but in the other she is saved by her classmates.

	The Nick Schager Film Project: Reviews - 1960s
		Twelve months after the events of the last film, a priest finds a woman with bite marks hanging dead inside his church bell, a discovery that further convinces the parishioners that this place of worship – which is touched at dusk by the shadow of Dracula’s castle – is tainted by the unholy.
		Fisher tantalizingly hints at the coming horror when one of the two female travelers sits on her bed and remarks on its lumpiness (is the mattress made of bodies?), and Clove doesn’t waste much time bleeding one of the two men dry in order to resurrect Lee’s towering villain.
		The free-form film falls apart, however, by resorting to overly extravagant bits like having an elephant (painted with ‘60s slogans about love and peace) receive a good scrubbing during a monumental bubble bath in the middle of the house’s swank living room.

	Oak Ridge National Laboratory Film Badge (ca. 1960s) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		In early 1958, ORNL introduced a new badge that was capable of estimating moderate to high neutron doses.
		This new badge was only used for a couple of years and then it was replaced by the version of the badge shown here, the Model II.
		To provide a capability for evaluating gamma exposures beyond the range of the film, the model II included provisions for a silver phosphate glass dosimeter and a chemical dosimeter (a channel drilled into the bottom of the badge insert).

		Instead, during the 1960s, as film studies was being formulated, a number of literature professors began teaching film as a respectable art form.
		Auteurism refers to a theory which believes that the film’s director is completely in control of the meaning of his or her (most often his) films, much as an author of a novel controls the meaning of that form of textuality.
		Bergman films like this one were so well respected because they were able to combine this thematically meaningful mythological force with a visual poesis uncommon in the cinema.

	CQ Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Already struggling to define the difference between reality and fantasy by making a film about his own life, Paul is led even further astray by his fixation, risking his relationship with the earthy, passionate Marlene (Elodie Bouchez).
		The third and fourth films are more abstract: one is a dissonant, somewhat morose 17-minute meditation on Dragonfly, while the other is almost self-consciously pretentious, taking on the idea of reconstructing the past and re-creating history.
		Appropriately for a film in which style and visual impact are so important, the 1.85:1 anamorphic transfer is excellent (a full-screen version of the film is also available), and the 5.1 Dolby Digital sound is crisp and clear.

	Digital History
		A balanced interpretation and synthesis of the scholarly literature on the 1960s, which examines such topics as electoral politics, civil rights, the counterculture, and the impact of the Vietnam war, and looks at the conservative as well as left-wing movements.
		An examination of the generation gap and the youth rebellion, the film focuses on a shy, ambitionless college graduate who has an affair with a married woman before falling in love with her daughter.
		This film etraces the major events of the 1960s and 1970s through the eyes of its dull-witted protagonist.

	Wes at Home - film reviews - 1960s
		Early Kurosawa is so effortless, it seems a shame to watch any of his later works, which are hilariously earnest in being "Japanese," whatever the hell that means.
		Costa-Grava compresses and focuses the story of political corruption and fascism to keep the plot moving, relying on flash editing for character development (a similar technique is used in The Royal Tenenbaums, except they forgot to include the plot).
		My favorite moment in the film is the ending, which puts an appropriate exclamation point on the sad and ridiculous lengths fascist governments will go to in order to maintain order.

	The Collector (1965): Terence Stamp, Samantha Eggar - PopMatters Film Review
		His hobby is collecting butterflies, and the film opens with a scene of another ecstatic capture and Stamp's aloof expression as Ferdinand watches the creature flap in his killing jar.
		The film suggests that Miranda's intellectualism and blasé attitude towards sex are connected to her class status and symbolic of the hordes of young people that flocked the capital from the suburbs to find liberation during the days of Swinging London.
		As the film is focused on Kenya's dilemmas, Brian is something of a cipher, the primary force for her transformation without a life beyond her vision.

	2003 TIFF Update #4 - Reviews by David Nusair
		Set at the end of the 1960s, the film follows the Field family through their trials and tribulations over a particularly tumultuous couple of months.
		Director Scott Smith has a keen eye for '60s details (the film feels authentic, from the Volkswagen minibus that Lou's boyfriend drives to the old-school TV commercials that can occasionally be glimpsed), and he's assembled a pitch-perfect cast.
		And it's not that aspect of the film that I object to - it's easy enough to see past the minimalist set design - it's the severely overlong running time (three hours!) and inexplicably odd behavior among characters that does the film in.

	Cuban Film Festival
		As the first film from post-revolutionary Cuba to be released in the United States, this had a widespread impact unequalled in the history of Third World cinema.
		Set in the early 1960s, the film centers on a Europeanized Cuban intellectual playboy, too idealistic to leave for Miami, but too decadent to fit into the new society.
		Wenders splits the film between portraits of the performers, who tell their stories directly to the camera as they wander the streets and neighborhoods of Havana, and a celebration of the music heard in performance scenes in the studio, in their first concert in Amsterdam, and in their second and final concert at Carnegie Hall.
