...Tops exemplifies one type of film done by Charles and Ray Eames, the toy films. These films are "purely visual and musical," said Eames. In their previous toy films, Charles and Ray Eames explored the world of toy trains, bread, or even soap flowing over blacktop. When the making of bread was the topic for a film presentation at UCLA in 1953, they added smells of freshly baked bread to the images and sounds on the screen...
...Christian Andersen died in 1875 at the age of 70, he was famous at home in Denmark. Some of the fairy tales on which his enduring name rests had already found their way into translation. But few people knew that the vain, morbid, brilliantly imaginative Dane was also a visual artist of real talent, or that his work, when viewed down the corridor of a century, would come to look quite "modern...
...Tina and B.B. King are not the same thing at all. B.B.'s place in today's music is inviolable but categorically narrow; Ike and Tina's act is a continuously evolving blend of elements old and new, black and white, musical and visual.

...feature of the Turners' consummate professionalism. Ike builds a song carefully; anything held back now will simply provide a bigger punch later. The Ikettes sing, dance, and occasionally play maracas. They are essential to the vitality of the show; their choreography translates the rhythmic structure of each song into visual terms. To an effete spectator, it could easily seem corny: the Ikettes hopping around like possessed go-go girls with the Kings of Rhythm swaying from side to side in unison. But that's precisely where the Ike and Tina Revue is at; that is, music that moves...
This course looks like one of the best in The Film School; it will apply techniques of close visual analysis in an effort to teach students how an unstaged film sequence is manipulated to produce a "statement." Among the topics to be studied are the romantic documentary, cinema verite, the social documentary, propaganda, and the use of documentary footage in television. Each topic will be accompanied by the screening of a film ("Salesman" by the Maysles Brothers, "High School" by Wiseman and "Triumph of the Will" by Riefenstahl are all tentatively booked), or guest lecturers (Rickie Leacock and Mrs. Robert...
