The Dream of Ivan

In "The Dream of Ivan" we will see for the first time in history a worldwide selection of soccer stars, a team that brings millions of people watching television, playing against a worldwide selection of ... children! Why? To raise funds to help victims of a terrible earthquake in Africa. This happens many times: that professional teams, or football stars, organize charity matches. What had never happened before is that the game is played by children. The proposal has been an initiative of UNICEF and FIFA.

Extraordinary Fishing

Two anglers are quietly seated and get a bite. They both pull out the same fish. Each of them claims to be the owner of it which leads to a quarrel and in the struggle, both fall into the water. A third fisher comes on the scene and casts in his line. To his great astonishment, he pulls out the two men who are still fighting. He tries to separate them, but they resent his interference and throw him into the water. Filled with remorse, one of them jumps in after him and seeing neither of them reappear on the surface, the other also follows suit and is lucky enough to get them out, which results in a general reconciliation. A Pathé production that survives in the BFI collection.
