The Deep Calleth to the Deep

A sermon recorded Thursday, June 24, 1954, at the Constitution Hall in Washington DC, U.S.A., where Brother William Marrion Branham delivered a message entitled "The Deep Calleth To The Deep". Branham (1909 - 1965) was an American Christian minister and faith healer who initiated the post-World War II healing revival, and claimed to be a prophet with the anointing of Elijah, who had come to prelude Christ's second coming; some of his followers have been labeled a "doomsday cult".

Three Girls

A short film by director Lasar Dunner, produced by the Keren Hayesod. Through the eyes of three girls on summer vacation, the film presents the achievements of young, beautiful, and advanced State of Israel. The girls, Orna the Tel Avivian, Mazal and Lea the new immigrants, are three friends who study together in a youth village. Just before the vacation, they participate in a course at the Gadna where, in addition to learning commando skills, they also learn about responsibility and love for the land of Israel. From there, they go on vacation to Tel Aviv, a western metropolis in the heart of the Middle East, and spend time on the beach and in the museum. Their paths diverge from Tel Aviv, with Mazal and Orna traveling to Orna’s village to help with cotton picking, and Lea going to her parents’ house in Jerusalem, where she helps her father learn Hebrew. Afterwards, they reunite and arrive to watch the opening ceremony of the Maccabiah.

Shepherd's Bush to Zürich

Red double-decker buses are one of the main features of the streets of London, but to the citizens of continental Europe, accustomed to single-deckers, London's R T buses are Leviathans. It was as an appropriate symbol of Britain that London Transport sent two of its newest buses to accompany the Made In England Exhibition which toured Switzerland, Germany, Denmark and Sweden. The film follows the buses through Zürich, Heidelberg, Hamburg, Copenhagen and Malmö, and shows some of the incidents which the London drivers will remember from their crowded goodwill tour.

London's Country

This film shows us a world of wildlife and flowers and scenic beauty within easy reach of London - where people can enjoy yachting on the Thames, or archery at Sevenoaks; riding in Knole Park, or morris-dancing at Westerham; walking over the hills near Newlands Corner, or cricket on the green at Cookham; where they can admire a wealth of historic buildings both large and small - Windsor Castle, Canterbury Cathedral, Farnham Keep, the Dickens' houses at Rochester, the Roman ruins at Verulamium; or they can just sit in the sun while the children play.

Le châtelot

Between 1950 and 1953, a dam was built in the unspoiled landscape of the Doubs. It was a prestigious Swiss-French project. The film begins with idyllic images of the “Saut du Doubs” and goes on to document the construction stages from the felling of the first tree to the finished weir. Guest workers lose their lives in the process – and the production of the film was probably not entirely risk-free. What is the price of our electrified world, how much destruction of nature is acceptable? These are questions raised by the witty voiceover in the film. Questions that are still thought-provoking 70 years after the filming of “Le châtelot”.
