...scenes of pickpocketing itself are all dominated by blacks, the color of the wallet or the clothing of the victims. Michel himself, however, always wears a white shirt and either his room or the corridor outside contain areas of light into which he invariably steps. At a central point in the film he goes to visit his dying mother. As he lies to her about her health and bends over her bed, rays or light cross him like prison bars. That light should entrap is something almost inpermissible in our set of conventions; Bresson's use of it to convey...
Environment will undoubtedly contain its share of grim trends and events, but it will by no means be devoted only to gloomy news. Pessimists believe that much environmental destruction is irreversible. Optimists argue that technology and will power can salvage the situation. To that end, Environment will describe the exciting ideas of architects, city planners, ecologists, engineers, politicians and plain people. These ideas will include, among many others, dispersing glutted populations, building new experimental cities, designing steam and electric autos, restructuring mass transit, recycling all kinds of waste -and in general making this world a more liveable place...
...White House when the U.S. first landed men on the moon, but the coincidence seems apt. No less than Neil Armstrong, he is the smalltown boy who rose to fame, the upright citizen, the doer somehow left a bit unsophisticated despite his success and prominence.

As the Apollo command module bobbed in the sea, Nixon shouted down to the flight deck to ask the Navy band to play Columbia...
...petitions were sent to the City's board of Election Commissioners; which must now check them to see if they contain the approximately 3297 valid signatures (eight per cent of Cambridge's 41,213 registered voters) needed to put the measure on the ballot. If the petitions contain more than the required number of signatures, the city council then has 20 days to pass the ordinance without amendment, or it will be put to the voters in November...
...sense simultaneously in a dialectical movement of statement and negation; in other words, soundtrack and image allow for greater possibilities of contradiction. Conventional documentary reconstructs reality through editing and asynchronous sound (voiceovers, etc.) and techniques borrowed form fictional narrative-music, establishing shots, distant shots, etc. Often, conventional documentaries contain footage shot in direct cinema style; however, they do not use it in unreconstructed form. Instead, it is subordinated to larger structural concerns, concerns which aim at focusing the viewer's several perspectives on contradictions the filmmaker considers important. Fearful that the message of implicit contradictions is too ambiguous...
