HOLLAND, LAND BEHIND THE DIKES. 20 minutes - sound - black and white. In lowlands by the sea, it is possible to enlarge farming areas by draining off the water and reclaiming the land. Small densely populated coun tries have found this practice to be advantageous. In this picture we study how these principles ap ply to the Netherlands, a low country, nearly half of whose area is below sea level. The Dutch people have been working hun dreds of years making a new land by draining swamps, shallow lakes, and even the sea itself. THe reclaimed land, known as Polderland, is very productive. Farm products often move to market by boat on the canals. The ltnd has been drained by dikes, canals, and windmills. Today mod ern pumping stations are replac lnsr the more picturesque wind mills. 2. PLANT ODDITIES. 10 min utes - sound - color. Plants that live on air, plants that eat insects and plants with extra sensitive nervous systems. A sequence of dancing flowers was accomplished by controlling the light, temperature and mois ture >so that the interrupted growth and unusual motion thus obtained is in rhythm with a Straus Walta. ••5. ROME, CITY ETERNAL. 10 minutes - sound - color. Concentrating: on extant ruins, statuary, architecture and the art preserved in St. Peter’s, this film highlights important aspects of the significance of Rome through the ages. This film might be des cribed as a “camera portrait" of the past and present glory of Rome. 4. STRANGE INTERVIEW. 55 minutes - sound - black & white. The story of Bill Parker, own er of a small plant, who sees his production falling off and the quality of the work going down. Believing the situation calls for rigid discipline, he sacrifices per sonal warmth and understanding in his relations with his men. This attitude aggravates matters until finally in a dream sequence, Ben jamin Franklin makes Jlim see that this ruman relations can stand a lot of improvement. 5. MEXICO VALLEY - ADOBE VILLAGE. 20 minutes - sound - black & white. This film lesson vividly illus trates how areas colonized by Spanish people in the Western Hemisphere are characterized by much “blood-blending” and have developed a maize culture with life centered in the village especi ally the church of the village. The central plateau of Mexico well illustrates this geographic princi ple. Here one finds a mixture of Indian and Spaniard blood (Mestizos). The peasants are seen practicing a maize culture (most ly hoe culture). Their life is cen tered in the market town, and they are particularly close to their church. 6 CANOE COUNTRY — 18 minutes - sound - color.
