Quatermass II - All Six Parts (1955) Old Reel Server 2018-01-11 | Quatermass II is a British science-fiction serial, originally broadcast by BBC Television in the autumn of 1955. It is the second in the Quatermass series by writer Nigel Kneale, and the oldest of those serials to survive in its entirety in the BBC archives.The serial sees Professor Bernard Quatermass of the British Experimental Rocket Group being asked to examine strange meteorite showers. His investigations lead to his uncovering a conspiracy involving alien infiltration at the highest levels of the British Government. As even some of Quatermass's closest colleagues fall victim to the alien influence, he is forced to use his own unsafe rocket prototype, which recently caused a nuclear disaster at an Australian testing range, to prevent the aliens from taking over mankind.Although sometimes compared unfavourably to the first and third Quatermass serials,[1] Quatermass II was praised for its allegorical concerns of the damaging effects of industrialisation and the corruption of governments by big business.[2] It is described on the British Film Institute's "Screenonline" website as "compulsive viewing."Series Directed by Rudolph Cartier ...

It is such a visual subject it made for a good film. I knew the 3-D quality could only be appreciated if I moved the camera so I moved it. Right after it came out, I got a call from someone at Universal Film wondering how I achieved the 3-D in 16mm. I explained all I did was move the camera. We had a very small crew on that film.

Hopi: Songs of the Fourth World (1983) Reel 2 of 2 Old Reel Server 2021-11-22 | Reviewer: DevonSeaMoor - favoritefavoritefavoritefavoritefavorite - March 20, 2019Subject: Corn that never stops appreciationI'm enjoying this documentary very much. There's something familiar in the singing and landscape, the crafting and harvesting. It's humbling to see the Hopi appreciate the corn in 4 colours, every day. I mean, here in the Western world there's such a choice of food that no day needs to see the same food on our plate, which I'm sure some of us would feel bored and annoyed.I assume that the corn is so part of all aspects of Hopi culture, incarnated in physical form and works of art, cooking and baking, that it has become a natural devotion and expression of gratitude, eating the corn every day with new and joyful candour.Living with vast spaces of land around might create a certain sense of presence in these people and also the absence of cars, computers + smart phones defines their awareness of presence.
