The case of the Ambient Atmosphere with English Sub-Titles
40:56 - 4 years ago
In October 2004, President of the Republic Tassos Papadopoulos publicly charged that people and organisations in Cyprus were paid by the United States through UNOPS to promote the ‘yes’ vote in the referendum of 24 April 2004. For an entire month, this was the leading item on the news. At the end of this whole debate, all that was retained by public opinion was that, indeed, some people in Cyprus took money from the US in order to support the Annan plan. The bribing of people and organisations in the period before the referendum is often cited as an argument by both journalists and politicians, as if this was an unquestionable reality. The present investigation, based on all available primary sources and an evaluation of the information broadcast by the TV channels and published in newspapers, proves that this ‘reality’ was constructed by the government’s propaganda machine, the television channels and government-friendly press.

Mary's Birthday (1951)

BFIfilms — 09 October 2008 — More films by Reiniger are available to buy as part of the BFI DVD 'Lotte Reiniger: The Fairy Tale Flims' - http://filmstore.bfi.org.uk/acatalog/...

'Sing ho for disease
And the germs in a sneeze,
For pollution, for filth and infection.
We'll wipe off our feet
On somebody's meat
And hope it's a lethal injection.'

No, not a lost stanza from the pens of Gilbert and Sullivan, but the rousing chorus sung by some bluebottles as they plan to cause intestinal misery at Mary's party.

This guide to elementary hygiene is among the most eccentric and enjoyable Public Information Films. Director Lotte Reiniger is famed for her quaint silhouette animation, but here she seems on the verge of a career shift that unfortunately never happened. If it had, she would be remembered as one of the great British surrealists.

One of the unexpected highlights is the array of accents on parade. The flower fairies sound like graduates of the Brief Encounter School of Elocution; insects and microbes are voiced by somewhat earthier types while the King of the Flies sounds distinctly like Kenneth Williams attempting to impersonate Winston Churchill.

Witty, brief, basic - and bleak. Here's another side of the National Coal Board's amazingly rich, diverse and addictive work for the screen. Following Lord Robens' 1961 appointment as NCB Chairman, safety became a higher priority than ever before. Annual safety campaigns became a fixture of the coal industry calendar, and films played a major part.

TV Cartoons, run by George Dunning (best remembered for 'Yellow Submarine') contributed some two dozen animations to these campaigns over the years. This one's characteristic: unambiguous message, unpretentiously inventive animation and a blackly comic tone. Note the variety of names representing miners onscreen - Dai and Jock, as well as Tom, Dick and Harry. 'Facts and Figures' was made available in all the coalfields, Welsh, Scottish and English.

Thud and Blunder are two clumsy cartoon miners who helped educate colliery employees in how not to behave down a mineshaft. Made by the National Coal Board, the Thud and Blunder safety animations are pleasingly wild and primitive, and the sidekick canary is a nice touch. Thud and Blunder seldom reveal any potential hazards which could not be avoided through common sense, but they're still enormous fun.

To Demonstrate How Spiders Fly (1909)

From: BFIfilms | 08 April 2010 | 9,159 views

Loading...
This charming short film is surprisingly technically advanced for its time, using a mechanical spider to demonstrate how the creatures spin the threads to create their webs. Suddenly the spider lifts up all of its legs, allowing itself to be dragged through the air, an effect that is both amusing and disarming, before gracefully descending through a series of mid-air acrobatics.

Percy Smith believed he could cure people of their arachnophobia with his short films showing enlarged replicas of spiders, and certainly most viewers would be more delighted than scared by the mechanical star of this short. The final image of a real spider scrabbling around its web might be less endearing, however. (Alex Davidson)

BFIfilms — 30 October 2009 — 'New Town' is an entry in a Central Office of Information-sponsored animated series featuring the everyman character Charley, and promotes an escape from grimy, smoggy towns and arduous commutes to work. With the highly distinctive animation style of husband-and-wife team Halas and Batchelor, this short aims to explain the rationale behind the planning of the new towns, with their enticing offer of green open spaces and a type of housing to suit everyone.

Building skywards - Manhattan-style - is quickly ruled out for us Brits; "Don't be silly, I'd never get me pram up there" pipes up a member of the unseen chorus of unhappy city-dwellers. But considering the urban sprawl now devouring the south-east of England, perhaps skyscrapers were the way to go after all. (Simon McCallum)

City of Gold -Pierre Berton - 1957



This classic short film from Pierre Berton depicts the Klondike gold rush at its peak, when would-be prospectors struggled through harsh conditions to reach the fabled gold fields over 3000 km north of civilization. Using a collection of still photographs, the film juxtaposes the Dawson City at the height of the gold rush with its bustling taverns and dance halls with the more tranquil Dawson City of the present.

SUMMARY
Dud wants to buy his girlfriend Maime an ice cream cone so he breaks open his mother's bank, and splits their last dime in half in the process. His mother punishes him so he runs away. Dud is scared by imaginary ghosts in the dark, so he runs back home where he gets a spanking from his mother.

These two variants of Wallace Carlsons "Dreamy Dud," a boy with an overactive fantasy life and a down-to-earth dog, reveal how animation history does not always parallel artistic progress. The 1915 film from the Essanay Studio has a simpler line-drawing method but a sharper wit, and is indebted in style and content to Winsor McCays dreamy hero, "Little Nemo." The later version, from Carlsons 1919-20 Us Fellers series, is more complicated but less comic, relying on the elaborate backgrounds available through the Bray Studios patents.

2005 OSCARS for Best Short Animation

Ryan is based on the life of Ryan Larkin, a Canadian animator who, 30 years ago, produced some of the most influential animated films of his time. In the film, we hear the voices of prominent animators and artists discussing Ryan's work, and from waitresses, mission-house caretakers and homeless people who make up Ryan's life. These voices speak through strange, twisted, and disembodied, computer-generated characters--which combine to reflect the film's creator, Chris Landreth. In the words of Anais Nin, "We don't see things as they are. We see things as we are."

Some strong language. Viewer discretion is advised.

This film was made by the creative team who worked on several neat cartoons for Sesame Street, including the popular "Teeny Little Super Guy" series. Paul Fierlinger designed, directed and co-scripted the film, Thurman also scripted and supplied voices, and Larry Gold did the music.
