		Films shot by individuals and firms, and restricted to their private consumption are not included in these figures.
		The Indian film archives, the largest non-western repository, is also among the most notorious at preservation; less than 10% of all films made before 1931 (some estimate as low as 1%) of Indian films still exist.
		Indian films, a very large segment of the yearly film copy market, have an average of 300 prints in circulation per film because of the much larger size of cinema viewing halls, and the lack of "multiplexes" for shows on several screens.

	Japan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In those days, as the war was expanding in scale, the cultural and documentary films were debated extensively, ("culture" and "science" were the catch words of the time), and cinema attracted public attention as the educational medium in both schools and society.
		The last stage of film criticism "grasping the physiology of film" (by which KITAGAWA was of course suggesting Kishi's style of criticism) can be regarded as more or less an evidence of a kind of maturity, which cannot however, compare with the case of literary criticism.
		Film journalism left matters in the care of young directors like Yasuzo Masumura, Nagisa Oshima, etc. They felt keenly an urgency to resolve, in their own way, how to portray the ego of modern Japanese or how to define the reality of modern Japan in the late 1950's.

		Sander’s film is a brilliant yet subtle meditation on representation - how to visually and aurally depict both women in their personal and professional lives, and Berlin in its dialectical process of “being” a city; the film questions the construction of identities of both women and the city in conflict with common perceptions about them.
		“Her film proved a great success at the International Young Film Forum in Berlin in 1978 and is anything but a tearful lament on the situation of a woman who pays for her independence by restricting her other needs in life, her political and private interests and plans, to an absolute minimum.
		This women’s film is simultaneously about Berlin, a city that is torn asunder in the same way as the heroine’s life, a life in installments.

		For a film that comes rather late in their tenure with Roach, it also serves surprisingly well as an introduction to the team for newcomers, for it is both a great film and a great Laurel and Hardy film.
		WAY OUT WEST is not only LandH's best film, it's also the best vehicle for their most beloved supporting player.
		What WAY OUT WEST is most famous for are the two musical scenes featuring Laurel and Hardy, not counting their final, charming version of Irving Berlin's "Dixie".

		While he attempted to show the ways in which the rivers had been misused, the film also stands as a paean to the American natural landscape and the rich history with which it is imbued.
		The River was filmed in fourteen states, as opposed to five in which footage was shot in the making of The Plow That Broke the Plains, with a considerably larger crew and the budget two and one half times the size of the first film.
		The film's Epilogue, while it retained some of the poetic quality of the body of the narration, was a lesson in the necessity of the work of the Tennessee Valley Authority and the other New Deal programs set up to conserve the American landscape.

	Microfilmmaker Magazine - Special Film Critique: Unseen Cinema, Pg. 1
		Some departed this Hollywood that they had helped birth and pursued film projects at other ports of call, while others stayed in the system and made their avant-garde films over the weekends.
		Some of the films are excessively long, like the intentionally-silent Portrait of a Young Man that drags on for an hour-long look at close-ups of water and is designed to get you to become introspective.
		This film pointed out that the studio dream of starting out as an extra and then becoming a star was a largely unrealistic and potentially life-shattering.

	REVIEW: Unlikely Homegrown Korean Hit Reaches U.S. Shores; Lee Jung-Hyang's "The Way Home"
		The flowering of South Korean film is all the more remarkable since the Japanese occupation in 1937, and then the Korean War, destroyed most of its rich cinematic past.
		The film's visually austere style resists hyperbole over the landscape, instead allowing the nights alive with tree frogs, misted mountains, and lime green fields to diffuse a magical presence.
		Adding breadth to this "small" film is a barely concealed attack on Western culture -- the fast food and electronic gizmos stand in for emotional coarseness and hollow values.

		Arguable Laurel and Hardy's best feature film, Way Out West, which puts the boys in a tangle of Old West cliches, never misses a beat.
		The comedy of Laurel and Hardy is underappreciated today -- slapstick is done so much and so often and considered low-brow that the refinement and creativity of their comedy is often missed.
		In Way Out West, there are gold mines and saloons and prospectors and villains.
