• By JOHN MOORE ^Since introduction to the up-coming rilm Competition in last week's issue, hings have swung into high gear, dost of the entries have been revived, and are now being screened. Vs of this date, a working group of sixty films has been prepared. These rill be screened by Mr. Manning and lis staff fpr the purpose of deleting iny which exhibit inferior technical laulity or content. This does not nean that they are being censored.The variety in both content and tyle has vastly improved over last 'ear. Most of this year’s films are in olor, some are animated, others coHnade. Lauren Jo Whittier ’68 said hat a stand should be taken as to tow* far is open. With otW assorted omments, the discussion-closed. Under announcements, students vere exhorted to keep a “watchful ye” to fight marijuana. President Irown was thanked for his attend-1 nee, and the meeting was adjourned t 8:10 p.m. .V %Federal Loans•t * . *17 D-iL--lagg works. The topics covered range from anti-war presentations, to. hilariously funny saJires^They vary in length from one to fm^$wQ minutes, and coyer such topics as: the beautxes of love, fire, the army, the importance of breath, and LSD.The viewers, will also have the chance to see the productions made by Mr. Manning and his Project One group, Peter Martin’s The Use, and others made by students at S.L.U.The judges have also released thati they will be bringing up their own experimental films which will be shown in a special program on Friday afternoon. These include, Judako, Josef Reeye’s film on the Canadian who won the gold medal in this( summer’s Pan-American Games. Robert Nelson will show Confessions of a Black Mother Succuba, a satire upon advertising’s sexual sell, and Nelson’s interpretation, of how the housewives who see these ads react. George Kuchar will show his world:famous Hold While I'm Naked. The easiest. way to describe this film is to say that it is a very direct and subtle look at sexual frustration and lonli-n^ss.,These are only a few of the professional films that the audience will have the chance to see. The National Film Board of Canada, one of the -world’s largest independent-, film-mak- ‘ ing groups, will present films bv several of their men, including Norman McLaren’s famous experimental 'scratch9 films, made by painting and scratching directly on the film. These films, which are produced by real professionals in the experimental field will* offer a good comparison to the competing works, i The importance of the men who will be the judges must be stressed. They represent the whole range of experimental and independent cinema now being producgd^iu America. John Tyo is a man who knows films. He is an experimenter, a teacher of great fame, a well known critic. Nelso and Kuchar are leaders in the active world of film production. They are film-makers who know their /trade well. Josef Reeve is both a film-maker and director, whose films have j been shown all over the world.This week The Hill News features a photospread containing shots from many of the competing films. This ^series will be concluded with com-jments upon experimental cinema and how, to derive the most from it. Correction must be made of a glaring error from last week. This competition is being sponsored by the University, the Steinman Festival of the Arts and The University Center Association.Hill Newt Phone 386-2894
