African Masque
The huge African talent for music, dance and storytelling is no longer confined to the traditional village setting. It is moving out on to the stage.
Peggy Harper has been studying African dance for many years. She works with a theatre group of dancers, actors and musicians attached to a Nigerian university. She has had international success with dance dramas based on traditional Nigerian dances and rituals. This film follows her from the university campus to a small Yoruba town where she participates in the great festival of the year-the festival of Ogun, God of Iron. The festival lasts two weeks and begins with a divination by the Priests of Ifa and ends when some thousands of people follow the great mask, that is Ogun, deep into the forest to visit the sacred shrines. They carry whips, with which they strike each other throughout the celebrations. There is singing, dancing and high religious drama.
Working with her theatre group back on the university campus, Peggy gradually evolves, rehearses and performs a theatrical version of the festival and the myth that lies behind it.

Animals and Men by Kenneth Clark
' We love animals, we watch them with delight, we study their habits with ever increasing curiosity ... and we destroy them.'
Through the art of 3,000 years KENNETH CLARK examines the changing relations between animals and men.
Through the divine bulls and falcons of ancient Egypt, the sacrificial heifers on the Parthenon frieze, the tormented unicorn of Medieval tapestries, Diirer's patiently observed creatures, Stubbs's horses, and a procession of dogs, he traces the different roles in which man has cast himself, from worshipper to destroyer to guardian of animals.

A Fred Zinnemann season starring Julie Harris with Ethel Waters
Brandon de Wilde , Arthur Franz
' It happened that green and crazy summer when Frankie was 12 years old. This was the summer when for a long time she had not been a member. She belonged to no club and was a member of nothing in the world.'
Fred Zinnemann has called Carson McCullers's moving novel ' one of the great works of modern American literature '. It ran for 500 performances on Broadway, and the film reproduces the faultless performances of the original stage principals - Julie Harris , Brandon de Wilde and Ethel Waters , who died earlier this month.
