Koreyoshi Kurahara – Kita-kitsune monogatari aka The glacier fox (1978)
1971-1980DocumentaryJapanKoreyoshi KuraharaQuote:
The Glacier Fox is an exciting documentary filmed in the frozen regions of Northern Japan. Director Korey Kurahara, who apparently was weaned on Disney’s True Life Adventures, strikes just the right balance between reality and artifice. His “cast” consists of a family of wild foxes, each with his or her own distinct personality. The film explores the foxes’ efforts to survive the elements and their ever-threatening environment. The Glacier Fox runs 90 minutes, and “runs” is just the right word to describe the breathless pace of this movie. — Hal EricksonRead More » -

Lionel Rogosin – Good Times, Wonderful Times (1965)
Uncategorized1961-1970DramaLionel RogosinPoliticsUnited KingdomSynopsis:
GOOD TIMES, WONDERFUL TIMES was Rogosin’s powerful response to militarism and fascism. For two years, Rogosin traveled to twelve countries, amassing footage of war atrocities from national archives. He then interspersed these harrowing images with scenes of a London cocktail party’s inane chatter. The juxtaposition satirizes the tragic irresponsibility of modern man. Good Times, Wonderful Times, released at the height of the Vietnam conflict, became one of the great antiwar films of the era. It won the Cine Forum Award as the official British entry for feature film at the 1965 Venice film festival.Read More » -
