Cinematic Era: 1967 Vintage

Daily and religious activities of the inhabitants of the Nepalese village of Tarap.

Documentary film about the life and work of artistic photographer Martin Martinček (1913-2004).

Through a rapid and rhythmic montage of materials shot by the author and archive footage, this film made in the winter of 1967-68 is an ideological judgment on the violence of power and consumerism. Images of the powerful of the time involved in the genocide in Vietnam alternate with others of rituals of mass society, traffic and shopping. For those unwilling to be imprisoned and indoctrinated, the escape route is the one indicated in the final sequence, shot with the actors of Gilberto Giuntini and Mario Pachi’s Teatro Prova, in which the performers find a means of resistance in rebellion and in a series of liberating actions.

By using film as a catalyst for change, the people of Fogo Island, Newfoundland, voice some of their daily concerns. This film shows how one of the Islanders built a longliner (a fishing boat using long lines) with the help of his friends, overcoming the problems of financing and the lack of tools and government support.

The documentary analyzes the role of “leader” in different social contexts—in politics, industry, and organized crime—and seeks to answer questions about the characteristics of a leader. In particular, it focuses on the new figure of leader that characterizes the era of technocracy: the corporate executive, the manager.

Both a “short story”—a film about a girl who rejects “reality” to live in her own private world—and a film about progressive states of mind. Joan goes to a two-room apartment, removes wigs, false eyelashes, makeup; depressed at her own appearance, she lies on the bed and over-eats. The soundtrack (“It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to…”) adds irony to her “orgy.” But it is her isolation from human contact, and her entrance into a self-indulgent fantasy world that are central “themes” of the film.

A poor young man lives in a simple room and falls in love with a rich girl, but her father, the property owner, rejects their relationship which complicate matters greatly.

Filmed in Mississippi through the winter and spring of 1966. Six tractor drivers and their families were thrown off the plantation on which they had been working for $6 a day, because they were striking for higher wages. The film follows the families, who lived in tents through the winter, as they began to build their own homes. They were urging people in the surrounding Delta area to go to Washington to demand housing for the many, many others who needed decent and affordable housing. They put up tents across from the White House, hoping to bring the plight of the people of Mississippi before the nation and the world. Made with support from the Delta Ministry, the National Council of Churches, and Neighborhood Developers.
