		Filmed at the Harlem Fall Mobilization March against the war in 1967, three African-American Vietnam veterans discuss the relationship between the racism they encountered in the military, the poverty and discrimination of the ghetto, and war.

	Greatest Film Scenes Tribute - 1970-90s
		One of the most controversial of all of Kubrick's films is his ultra-violent, over-indulgent, graphic film of the near future - its sadistic scene of a rape coupled with song and dance from one of Hollywood's most famous musicals is particularly sensational and perverse.
		A disturbing, tragi-comedic film that swept the major Academy Awards in the year of its release - the film succeeded as a tale of a wise-guy hero who rebels against institutional authority and attitudes in a tyrannical mental hospital.
		In one of the film's many stunning scenes, the patronizing, parental Nurse disallows the patients from watching the second game of the World Series - she refuses to have the usually compliant and spiritless fellow patients/inmates won over to the reasoning of McMurphy and changes the rules of voting to defeat the proposal.

	Picturing Justice. The Protrayal of Women in Film after 1970 by Katherine M. Lasher
		Throughout the film, Maggie's actions as an attorney are contrasted with her father's actions as a plaintiff's attorney.
		Though this film plays heavily on the loss of power women in film feel when they rely on their emotions, the film offers some redemption when Talbot finally faces the truth about her father and turns evidence implicating her father over to the special prosecutor.
		And, while certain aspects of the film are unrealistic, this departs from the older films by showing a female protagonist who is able to overcome her personal life and succeed professionally.

	About Anthology Film Archives
		Anthology Film Archives evolved from roots and visions that go back to the early Sixties, when Jonas Mekas, the director of the Film-Makers' Cinematheque, a showcase for avant-garde films, dreamed of establishing a permanent home where the growing number of new independent/avant-garde films could be shown on a regular basis.
		A Film Selection committee -- James Broughton, Ken Kelman, Peter Kubelka, Jonas Mekas and P. Adams Sitney -- was formed to establish a definitive collection of films (The Essential Cinema Repertory) and form the structure of the new institution.
		It is the first museum devoted to film as an art form, committed to the guiding principle that a great film must be seen many times, that the film print must be the best possible, and that the viewing conditions must be optimal.

	British Film After 1970
		Film traditions which had seemed original in the late 1950s and 60s were still churned out, but became increasingly tired, tiresome and formulaic: the 'Carry On' tradition ended with Carry On Emmanuelle, confirming the degeneration into smuttiness, and James Bond became less innovative and increasingly self-deprecating and tongue in cheek.
		Aside from the cosy (and often lavatorial) view of Britain projected by the 'Carry On' films, or the 'Gothic England' projected by early 1970s Hammer Horror films, the projection of Britishness was governed largely by the need to project a view of England that was internationally recognisable.
		Even the Bond films, for all their fascination with modern technology and a modern attitude to sexual relations, are bound to tradition.

	The Railway Children (1970) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		With Jeffrie's gentle direction and the enchanting charisma of Agutter, Thomsett and Warren, this is required viewing for all film lovers.
		Although the story is old and the setting even older, this is a wholly modern film, using innovative techniques such as quick cutting, point-of-view camerawork, dramatic freeze-frame, exquisite telephoto landscape, and overlapping dialogue, in ways highly effective and virtually experimental.
		The toothy Sally Thomsett had some rough times after this film, before she went on to TV fame as one of the caustic bimbos in "Man About the House" the British sitcom that inspired our own "Three's Company".

		The Canadian government agreed to let American films be distributed in Canada without any interference, thereby sacrificing their support for a feature film industry within their own country.
		In return, Hollywood agreed to distribute NFB shorts, to be filmed in Canada, and to mention the country in screenplays.
		Firstly, there were the many unsympathetic Canadian theatre owners who refused to showcase films done by their countrymen, which not only helped fuel public disinterest in Canadian cinema but also failed to get the filmmakers any measure of recognition.

		During the 1970’s, the “loser film” model became dominant in Canadian cinema.
		It is little wonder that Canadian films received very little attention during this period.
		One example is the breakout film of the period, Goin’ Down the Road, directed by Donald Shebib, which is the story of two friends who leave the security of their Nova Scotia town in hopes of finding a better life in Toronto.

	Arthurian Film
		Donner's film, which was shelved by the studio for several years before being dumped for television release, is one of the silliest films ever made about the Arthurian legend.
		The charges leveled against the film are generally that the lead roles were miscast, that the direction was ponderous, and that, at nearly three hours, the film was too long.
		Clearly, Zucker intends his film to be an Arthuriad for the 1990s, but the film fails to capture the spirit of the original legend or to make a case for its contemporary translation of the oft-told story of the Arthur-Lancelot-Guinevere love triangle.

		Made in 1970, the film is valuable not only as a record of apartheid, but as a record of how people's understanding of South Africa was then changing.
		The film features stark visual contrasts between the prep schools, military parades and rugby matches of the white minority, and the bare classrooms, torn clothes and back-breaking working conditions of the fls who make their lives of luxury possible.

	Eye - Extra Crispin - 08.25.05
		His principal focus is a feature film that is already legendary in the annals of Crispin-dom.
		What I always say is that the film is about the adventures of a young man whose principal interests are snails, salt, a pipe and how to get home, as tormented by a hubristic, racist inner psyche.
		I go to nearly every screening of the film and there are QandA sessions afterward because the film is made to provoke a certain kind of dialogue.

	Classic Cameras (pre-1970) Forum: Film
		Since I cut most of my film from 4x5 sheets anyway, their odd cut doesn't matter to me at all.
		I have two packs (25 sheets each) of the miscut 4x5 that will eventually find its way (without further modification) into pinhole cameras made to fit it (though they'll surely accomodate correctly sized 4x5 as well).
		Since I don't (yet) try to cut down film, that's all the miscut that makes sense to get at this time -- but they must have had an awful bunch of the stuff, since it's been on sale for most of a year.

		The film will focus on the individual and collaborative role of Julia Robinson (1919-1985), a past-president of the American Mathematical Society (AMS), and on the friendship and collaboration that developed between her and Yuri Matiyasevich after he put the last necessary piece of the solution to H10 into place.
		The film will explore the motivation of mathematicians and the relationship between pure mathematics and the real world (in this case, the technological world of computers).
		Julia Robinson's story, and the presence of other women mathematicians in the film, are intended to inspire high school students, particularly girls, to pursue mathematics through higher education and in their careers.
