A review of new films by
David Castell: "The emergence of so many important new talents promises to make this one of the most exciting periods for the American cinema."
Jane Mercer: "I continue to be surprised and delighted by the infinite variety of both style and content displayed in world cinema, and I feel that 1976 may well be a vintage year for films."
Chris Petit: "Unless something is done about the cinema in this country - its exhibition, distribution, production and its creation - there will soon be little to talk about."

The programme includes Jack Gold's Man Friday starring Peter O'Toole and Richard Roundtree; and Frank Penny's Rancho Deluxe with Jeff Bridges and Sam Waterston.
