in my last post, from the film's original press materials. Here it is,
in full (note that I said last time that the protagonist was Henri, but
it's Bernard):<br />
<br />
"Bernard, a Parisian like thousands of other
Parisians, dreams of getting away from it all to live in freedom. He
goes off to the Pacific in search of a new Eden and finds it: first
having visited Tahiti and New Caledonia, on the tiny little island of
Mouli in the Loyalty archipelago.<br />
250 people inhabit this island, at
the far edge of the world, living a sort of primitive communism.
Bernard, the only white man, is welcomed according to the laws which
govern Polynesian hospitality. During the course of generously
open-handed feast, he is admitted to membership of the tribe; a hut and a
boat are built for him.<br />
Bernard leads a carefree existence among the
natives. The latter ride half-wild horses, dive from the dizzy heights
off the cliffs, harpoon sharks with mad abandon. Will Bernard ever be
able to equal them and adapt himself to the new way of life?<br />
Sometimes he has fits of nostalgia for the world he has left behind.<br />
Meanwhile
gossip about "the man from Paris" spreads. Having congratulated the
baker on his daughter's beauty, his homage is taken seriously and
wedding presents are left in front of his hut. He is face to face with
another society, with its own rites and its own laws. Will Bernard
conform to them and marry the young woman? Will he be capable of
breaking with his former existence? He feels that he is a prisoner
without really knowing it, a link in a chain which he cannot break
without breaking in the process."<br />
<br />
That tells us what the film is
about. But what else do we know? My search for both the film and its
director, Bernard Gorsky, on ProQuest turned up only two hits in the NY
Times for the period between 1963 and 1965, and those were only the
announcement of its nomination. So far, it seems as if the film was
never released in the United States. "But how can that be?" you ask,
"Don't films have to screen in LA and NY to qualify for the Academy
Awards?" Not in 1963, they didn't. The rules of the documentary awards
have changed over the years, and during this period, films only had to
be screened "for the audience for which they were intended," which in
this case means people in France.<br />
<br />
A side note: many films
nominated during these years never had a US theatrical release. Some
played on (gasp!) television prior to theatrical release (or not in
theaters at all), or overseas only. The list of these kind of films
includes several USIA or other government films, which could not be
legally shown in the US. Charles Guggenheim's Oscar winning NINE FROM
LITTLE ROCK (1964) is such a film. I've seen a period letter from
Guggenheim to one of the Little Rock Nine, sadly telling them he thinks
it may be impossible for him to show the film to this person, because of
the very strong legal barrier against ANY domestic screening.<br />
<br />
Side
note #2: coincidentally, in an effort to encourage the submission of
more foreign docs, the Documentary Awards Committee changed the rule in
1963 regarding exhibition standards for qualification. Beginning with
the 17th Awards for 1944 films, submitted films had had to screen in the
United States to qualify.<br />
<br />
Thus, it's possible that LA MAILLON
has never screened in the United States! Certainly an English language
version was created at least for submission purposes for the Documentary
Awards Committee to screen; as I've mentioned before, probably dubbed
and not subtitled. It's likely that the film's producers did so, in
anticipation of a US release, which they probably assumed they'd get
after the film was nominated. I'll continue my research on this, and
have asked Brigitte to see what she can find out. But if the Film
Archive preserves LA MAILLON, we could have the US premiere, 50 years
late!<br />
<br />
What of the filmmakers? So far, I've found out a bit about
Marcel Ichac, one of the producers. He and fellow MAILLON producer Paul
de Roubaix also produced THE OCCURRENCE AT OWL CREEK BRIDGE (LA RIVIERE
DU HIBOU, based on the famous Ambrose Bierce story) which won a Live
Action Short Oscar the same year as MAILLON's nomination.<br />
(Side note:
like thousands - perhaps millions - of other American schoolkids, I
remember well seeing OCCURRENCE in 16mm in class, during the Golden Age
of educational film.)<br />
<br />
According to Wikipedia and other sites,
Ichac was quite an individual. As an adventurer and filmmaker, he
traveled the globe, making films on mountaineering, the polar regions,
and undersea life (with Jacques Cousteau). He produced the first
Cinemascope film made in France, and first brought electronic music to
film, in 1936. He supposed ran in the NY Marathon until age 80.<br />
<br />
I've
neglected to mention that Brigitte Berg and the Film Archive have a
well established relationship. Back in 2008 (I believe), she deposited
the original negative of CHAGALL, which coincidentally won the Oscar for
Best Documentary Short the same year as MAILLON's nomination. We've
preserved CHAGALL, and it looks amazing - the color is truly fabulous.
It's a terrific film, with fine narration by noted art collector Vincent
Price.<br />
(By the way, the Film Archive has also preserved - with UCLA -
the Doc Feature winner from 1963, ROBERT FROST: A LOVER'S QUARREL WITH
THE WORLD. This film also did not have a theatrical run before its
nomination, and showed originally on TV, produced by WGBH.<br />
<br />
As you
can see, there is a lot of interesting history about the nominated and
winning docs over the years. These are but a few examples of the
research and preservation stories related to nominees and winners that
I've dealt with over the years. I hope to be able to relate more of them
here, and I'm sure I'll come across more such tales in the future.<span id="goog_657806672"></span><span id="goog_657806673"></span>edhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01025162050557484946noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3447934967413309071.post-81189481578318906462013-10-17T12:19:00.001-07:002013-10-17T12:20:23.479-07:00Los Angeles in 1938I recently acquired a 1938 Standard Oil map of Los Angeles.<br />

My initial research turned up nothing, but eventually I found that the film's director, Horace B. Jenkins, died of a heart attack in December 1982 at just 42 years of age, a mere three months shy of the film's scheduled New York release. That release never happened, and the film was only seen briefly in New Orleans in December of 1983 (IMDB lists a release in Germany in October of 1982, but I question the authenticity of this citation). The only other screening I could find was at New Orleans Film Festival in the 90s, which notes that CANE RIVER was critically acclaimed (I guess in New Orleans, anyway.) <br />

Jenkins was a very successful television producer and documentary filmmaker, and had won Emmys for his work in television, as a producer of SESAME STREET and TONY BROWN'S JOURNAL. It's certainly sad that he died so short of the release of his first fiction feature. This was obviously a very independent film, a labor of love, funded by a notable New Orleans mortuary. It's too bad the film never had a chance to find an audience. I wonder what might have happened had Jenkins lived - CANE RIVER would have opened in New York and perhaps around the country, and who knows? If the film succeeded, would Jenkins made other films?<br />

Is CANE RIVER a lost masterpiece, a mediocre curiosity, or a forgettable misfire? Right now, I have no way of knowing. Though we received the original A&B negative rolls and a 35mm blowup internegative and track, we've got no film print or video copy, so I currently have no way of seeing the film. I have read that the film is a romance, filmed in New Orleans, and is one of the first features to deal with color prejudice within the African Americans community (one of the lead characters is Creole). We in the Film Archive are going to make a new 35mm print from the internegative, and have a look at what very few have seen.<br />

In addition to all his personal film prints, the collection included all kinds of terrific stuff. He had many outtakes and bloopers from many of his films. In one from THE PROFESSIONALS, Burt Lancaster screws up a line and says, "Your mother's [blank]!" (now, now Mr. Lancaster, is that any way to talk?) Peter O'Toole's reaction to blowing a line in LORD JIM is "God f*** the Pope!" (Not sure exactly the point of that demand.)<br />
<br />
Brooks also had many fantastic home movies and other special films, as my colleague Lynne Kirste, the Archive's Special Collections Curator, will attest. Brooks had color footage with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, on Bogey's boat Santana. In another fabulous color film, baseball legend Satchel Paige pitches in Wrigley Field in Los Angeles - watch it on YouTube - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyjLJ96iFBM">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyjLJ96iFBM</a> <br />
<br />
In addition to all the films and paper documentation, we also acquired some film handling equipment and many of his personal effects. I wound up with one of his cigarette lighters, from the famous El Morocco nightclub - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Morocco">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Morocco</a><br />

Cartoons Golden Jubilee at MOMA, 1985-86The Museum of Modern Art celebrated Warner Bros. cartoons, from September 13, 1985 to January 31st, 1986. The show included not only a full screening series of the cartoons, but a gallery of original cels, and something special - drawings directly on the walls of the exhibit by Chuck Jones. As I believe the Museum did not take photographs of this gallery when it was up, and did not save them after the show closed, these pictures (even with some grainy shots and scratched negatives) may be the only record of these one-of-a-kind drawings by the animation master.<br />

I recently helped my friend Fritz clear out the Van Nuys home of his aunt, who had recently died. It seemed she threw nothing away, and there remained the physical evidence of over 50 years of her life in that house. Most of it was not worth saving, but there were gems among the trash. Ironically, the most important papers of the time, the legal documents of her lawyer father (Fritz's grandfather and namesake), were now worthless, but the "disposable" paper - product boxes, magazines, flyers, ads, and newspapers, are now gold to those interested in the history of the middle of the 20th Century.<br />
<br />
I found a few copies of a local paper called The Canyon Crier, from late 1959 to early 1960. <br />
<br />

Most of them contain original picture and track negatives. As I mentioned in a previous post, this includes many docs, but also shorts, independent features, and student films. About a week later, I began processing the materials into the collection. So far, I've worked on:<br />
<br />
1) Sharon Sopher's 1986 Doc Feature Nominee, WITNESS TO APARTHEID<br />
2) Several of Robert Richter's films, including his 1982 Doc Short Nominee, GODS OF METAL, as well as ASBESTOS ALERT; BEN SPOCK, BABY DOCTOR; and FOR EXPORT ONLY: PESTICIDES AND PILLS - <a href="http://richtervideos.com/"> http://richtervideos.com</a> Mr. Richter has also placed more of his films at the Film Archive that he had held in private storage. <br />
3) Three of James Rutenbeck's docs, LOSING GROUND, RAISE THE DEAD, and COMPANY TOWN. <a href="http://www.jamesrutenbeck.com/jr_portfolio.html">http://www.jamesrutenbeck.com/jr_portfolio.html</a><br />
4) Amy Talkington's student short films, SECOND SKIN and NUMBER ONE FAN - <a href="http://www.amytalkington.com/">http://www.amytalkington.com/</a><br />
5) The Doc Short Nominee CITY OUT OF WILDERNESS (1974)<br />
6) Chris Columbus' NYU student film, I THINK I'M GONNA LIKE IT HERE. <br />
<br />
This is, of course, just the tip of the iceberg, and there's a long, long way to go (and before I finish with these boxes, we'll be getting another shipment from DuArt, with perhaps another 100 boxes.) But I know what I'll be doing the next 6 months or so, and will be giving periodic updates on my progress.<br />
<br />
By the way, you might be interested to know what we do with the films when we process them into the collection. We remove them from their original cans or boxes, and make note of any significant information from these containers, including technical information, when the elements were made, etc. We separate any paper materials enclosed, such as lab notes, timing tapes and so on. These are stored separately in acid free envelopes, and a note of this is made in the database record for the item. All important bibliographic data is entered in the title record for the film, and the physical information put into the individual "item" record - film gauge, film stock information, length, type of element, and condition (scratches, dirt, warping, color fading, etc.) Of particular importance is notation of any acetate deterioration (aka "vinegar syndrome"). Thankfully, all the materials I've looked at so far have been in very good to excellent condition. The films are then wound off their cores or reels, onto "archival" cores made of inert plastic, and inspected for any other physical defects. The items are then placed into "archival" cans, and a barcode, printed out from the database record, is placed on each can. Before the cans are put into the vault, the barcode is scanned, so the location information goes into the item record (so we can find it later!) <br />

The Academy Award® Documentary
Categories did not begin until the 14th Awards in 1941. But the Academy did
recognize non-fiction films (many by notable filmmakers) prior to that, in the
Short Subject categories. A 1935 winner, Ivor Montagu’s WINGS OVER MT. EVEREST,
showed the first airplane flight over the world’s tallest peak. Fred Zinnemann’s
THAT MOTHERS MIGHT LIVE, a winner in 1938, dramatized the medical advances made
by a noted Hungarian physician. But these films were not deemed by many to be “documentaries,”
a term which then connoted more serious accounts of contemporary issues and
events. For the first time in 1940, the Academy considered easing the entry
rules for Shorts, to include such “true” documentary films, but only if they
had had commercial runs in regular theaters. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Though some filmmakers were happy
to have their films accepted due to this decision, many were not so thrilled,
and confusion and controversy ensued. Many fine films, including Willard Van
Dyke’s VILLAGE TOWN and CHILDREN MUST LEARN; and John Ferno’s SO THEY LIVE,
were not eligible under these rules, as they had not been exhibited in
commercial houses, and U.S. government productions played for no charge. But
two fine documentaries, Julien Bryan’s SIEGE, which captured on film Germany’s
invasion of Poland, and LONDON CAN TAKE IT, by Harry Watt and Humphrey
Jennings, that showed British resilience during the Blitz, received nominations
in the One-Reel category. Both films are now considered classics.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
It became clear to the Shorts
Committee, and to the Academy at large, that documentaries could no longer be
shoehorned into this category, and that these films had become significant
enough to merit their own awards. The Committee considered the topic in their
meeting of January 20th, 1941. Discussion on the issue continued throughout the
year. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
For most of 1941, the United States
was still officially neutral in World War II, but being drawn closer into the
conflict every day. Certainly the Academy’s recognition of SIEGE and LONDON CAN
TAKE IT - films made the previous year about the war in Europe - demonstrated a
keen interest in films depicting the foreign war that a majority of Americans
still thought should remain foreign. The documentary had been gaining stature
during the 1930’s, but the advent of the war signaled the real turning point
for non-fiction filmmaking.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
So, three days before the attack on
Pearl Harbor, the Academy Board of Governors adopted a resolution to consider
the possibility of granting Special Awards to documentary productions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The general Awards Committee met two weeks
later on the 17<sup>th</sup> of December. This Committee consisted of six
members from the Screen Actors Guild, four from the Screen Directors Guild,
nine producer members from various studios, five Science Branch members, and
seven Academy officers ex officio. It noted that,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
“United States, British, Canadian,
and Russian Government films, [the]‘March of Time,’ a number of other
newsreel releases of documentary type, and some other films
privately sponsored but shown in regular theatres have been a significant
development in the motion picture medium, particularly during the
past year, and should achieve Awards® recognition.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">
</span>
<br />
<div class="WordSection2">
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Awards Committee voted a recommendation that Special
Awards be given for the Best Documentary Feature and the Best Documentary Short
Subject. At a subsequent meeting of the Board of Governors, this recommendation
was approved. Thus, by early January 1942, the Documentary Awards were born!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
In a letter to Academy Librarian
Margaret Gledhill [Herrick] and Academy Executive Secretary Donald Gledhill
dated January 18, 1942, the Dutch born documentarian Joris Ivens wrote, “I am
so very glad that at last we are recognized by the Academy and that the
documentary film has become one of the ‘decent’ branches of the Motion Picture
Arts and Sciences.” Unfortunately for Ivens, his landmark film about
electrification of rural areas in the United States, POWER AND THE LAND, was declared
ineligible two years in a row. In 1940, it could not compete in the Shorts
category because it was a few hundred feet longer than the stipulated length.
And since it had been exhibited during 1940, it was not accepted for the 14th
Awards, for which only films released in calendar year 1941 were eligible. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
It is worth noting that some other worthy
films submitted in 1941 were declared ineligible, as they had not played
theatrically during. Among them were A CHILD WENT FORTH, by Joseph Losey,
concerning a haven for children evacuated from London during the Blitz; and THE
FORGOTTEN VILLAGE, directed by Herbert Kline and Alexander Hammid, and written
by John Steinbeck, examining the conflicts between modernization and
traditional culture in a small Mexican village.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Next, the Academy formed a
Documentary Awards Committee, consisting of Richard Macaulay (the chair), Henry
Fonda, David O. Selznick, Joseph Valentine and Henry Hathaway.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Macaulay had recently written THEY DRIVE BY
NIGHT and would soon pen ACROSS THE PACIFIC [a side note – I have not been able
to find an photo of Macaulay anywhere. Very strange]. Fonda had been nominated
in 1940 for THE GRAPES OF WRATH, and would narrate several wartime
documentaries, including the Oscar® nominated IT’S EVERYBODY’S WAR, and the winner THE BATTLE OF MIDWAY. He also narrated
the 1951 doc short winner BENJY, and the doc nominees THE REALLY BIG FAMILY (1966), A SPACE
TO GROW (1968) and AN IMPRESSION OF JOHN STEINBECK: WRITER (1969).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>SPRING PARADE, WINGS OVER HONOLULU and MAD ABOUT

Selznick was coming off his twin
triumphs of GONE WITH THE WIND and REBECCA, which won consecutive Best Picture
awards. For the 15th Awards, Academy President Walter Wanger asked him to chair
the Documentary Committee, and Selznick initially refused, as he wanted to
devote all his energies to his next production. A flurry of correspondence from
Wanger and his fellow Committee members eventually persuaded Selznick to
reluctantly accept the post.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
The Documentary Committee first met
on February 4th, at 7PM in the Academy Board Room (in the offices in the Taft
Building in Hollywood), with Donald Gledhill and Academy Publicity Counsel Hal
Hall in attendance (Hathaway couldn’t make the first meeting). They reviewed
the list of films to be screened for consideration; Fonda and Hall conducted a drawing
by lot to determine the order of presentation. In the early years, the Academy
actively sought out documentary entries, with members of the Committee and the
Academy at large suggesting appropriate films. In subsequent years, the Academy
sent invitation letters to studios, individuals, and the film commissions of
many countries. The new category proved to be somewhat ill defined, so the
Committee stated,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
“It was agreed that the definition
of documentary and the eligibility rules were far from clear and
comprehensive, and that definite action should be taken during the year to
remedy the situation and propose improvements for next year’s Awards
Committee.”</div>
</div>
<div class="WordSection3">
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And in a move designed to showcase documentaries and
increase general awareness of non-fiction films, the Committee</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
“strongly endorsed a proposal to
recommend to the Academy Board that monthly showings whenever feasible
be held for the Academy Membership at which outstanding documentary
films be featured. It was also recommended that in connection with
such showings that the Academy Library should prepare and
distribute to the Academy membership small pamphlets describing the new
releases and serving to keep the membership up-to-date with
developments in the ‘documentary,’‘actuality’ and ‘war reporting’
fields of film use.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
In the feature category, two films
stood out: TARGET FOR TO-NIGHT and KUKAN.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Harry Watt’s TARGET FOR TO-NIGHT, the story of a British bomber raid on
Germany, had an incalculable morale boosting effect in the United Kingdom, and
was eventually shown to an estimated 50 million people in 12,000 theaters in
the Western Hemisphere. KUKAN (subtitled THE UNCONQUERABLE SPIRIT OF CHINA) detailed St. Louis
journalist Rey Scott’s epic travels through China, documenting both the wide
range of cultures as well as the horrific events of the Japanese invasion and
the staunch Chinese defense.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Both were
then currently in release, but the Committee suggested holding a double bill
screening for members who hadn’t yet seen them. The Committee then made an
interesting decision:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
“We find that during the past year
two particularly outstanding documentary features have been shown, KUKAN and
TARGET FOR TO-NIGHT. These are each of high quality and production origin as to
make competitive voting difficult inasmuch as the field is still too new for
standards of comparison to be generally agreed upon, without a competitive
vote, a recommendation be made by the Awards Committee that an Awards
Certificate of Merit be given to the producers of KUKAN and a similar
certificate to the producers of TARGET FOR TO-NIGHT in recognition of their
production of these films.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thus, there was no official Documentary Feature winner that
year. At an Academy Board meeting at the Brown Derby on February 20th,
Selznick, Howard Estabrook, John Aalberg, and James Hilton formed a committee
to write the text of the citations for KUKAN and TARGET FOR TONIGHT.<br />
The first voting screening for
documentaries was held at the Filmarte Theatre at 1228 Vine Street (a block
from the current location of the Academy’s Pickford Center and Film Archive), on Tuesday,
February 10th. Some of those in attendance (in addition to the Documentary
Committee) were Olivia DeHavilland, Farciot Edouart, Howard Estabrook, John
Garfield, Norman Reilly Raine, Frank Partos, Sol Lesser, Lesley Selander, Pete
Smith, Dorothy Tree and Walter Wanger. The ballots were collected by Price,
Waterhouse & Company.</div>

A look at the films in competition
for the first Documentary Short Subject award:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
ADVENTURES IN THE BRONX, produced by Film Associates, with
commentary by John Kiernan. This was the first in a series of shorts sponsored
by the New York Zoological Society. It shows the experiences of a boy who
sneaks into the Bronx Zoo with his toy elephant before the gates are opened. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
BOMBER, produced by the Office of Emergency Management, was
written and narrated by poet Carl Sandburg. It shows the construction of the
B-26 Martin bomber at the Glenn L. Martin plant in Baltimore, from the first
production of its 25,000 parts to its first test flight.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
CHRISTMAS UNDER FIRE, produced by the British Ministry of
Information, and directed by Harry Watt. American journalist Quentin Reynolds
narrates this look at the tenacity of British during the bombing by the German
Luftwaffe.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
CHURCHILL’S ISLAND, produced by the National Film Board of
Canada, directed by Stuart Legg, and narrated by Lorne Greene. It describes the
Battle of Britain, and shows that Britain could win the war because of the
moral strength of its people.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
LETTER FROM HOME, produced by the British Ministry of
Information, and directed by Carol Reed. Another film salute to the courage of
Londoners under the Nazi Blitz juxtaposes a letter from an English mother
(Celia Johnson, in her first screen appearance) to her children, who have been
evacuated to the US, with the details of her life. Reed later co-directed, with
Garson Kanin, the 1945 Documentary Feature Winner THE TRUE GLORY.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
LIFE OF A THOROUGHBRED, produced by Truman Talley. Shows how
a champion horse is trained, and how he finally becomes a winner. The Calumet
Farm in Lexington, Kentucky is depicted, as well as a real champion, Whirlaway.

dramatization of the formation of a Norwegian military force in exile, and of
Norwegian resistance activities.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
A PLACE TO LIVE, produced by the Philadelphia Housing
Authority. In the tradition of the great progressive films of the late 1930’s
and early 1940’s such as THE RIVER, VALLEY TOWN and THE LAND, director Irving
Lerner shows the deleterious effects of slum housing. This lyrical work
features a rousing, Coplandesque score.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
RUSSIAN SOIL, produced by Amkino. This film, concerning the
Russians’ defense of their homeland against the invading Germans, was a last
minute replacement for another short subject from the Soviet Union.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
SOLDIERS OF THE SKY, produced by Truman Talley. The second
nominee produced by Talley, it depicts paratrooper training in Fort Benning,
Georgia.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
WAR CLOUDS IN THE PACIFIC, produced by the National Film
Board of Canada, produced by Stuart Legg and narrated by Lorne Greene. The
second NFBC/Legg/Greene film nominated this year, it examines the new and
dangerous Japan, and the reaction of the democracies, which erected a vast
defense system across the Pacific.</div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
At the 14th Academy Awards ceremony
at the Biltmore Hotel on February 26th, CHURCHILL’S ISLAND became the first
film to win an Academy Award® in a Documentary category. John Grierson, Film
Commissioner of Canada’s National Film Board and the man who coined the term “documentary,”
presented the Award to CHURCHILL’S ISLAND, as well as the two Special Awards to
TARGET FOR TO-NIGHT and KUKAN. Since all three were considered “special” awards
(and because this was an “experimental” category), Grierson handed out
Certificate of Merit scrolls, not Oscar statuettes. He began his presentation
with a funny and trenchant speech, which brilliantly captured the state of the
documentary film at that time: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
“Long ago the documentary film set
itself the not very popular task of talking about the facts when people were
more interested in illusions; of describing social problems which were
embarrassing to some and ugly to many; of keeping men’s consciences just a
little closer to the dreadful grindstone of actuality. We are all tied today to
the grindstone of actuality, and I am glad to be here if only as a symbol that
all of us - whatever branch of film making we pursue - are all for one and one
for all in a common effort.”</div>

One of the joys of working at the Academy Film Archive is coming across an obscure, possibly unique film in the collection which turns out not only to be historically significant, but reveals all sorts of connections going in many directions. I'm a big fan of historical connections, threads and parallels, and find them endlessly fascinating - sometimes these threads seem to go on forever. I'm not sure exactly when I came across WILLKIE IN CHINA, an unfinished silent newsreel in the Academy's War Film Collection, but it probably coincided with preparations for one of my two Academy-sponsored trips to China, the first in 2007, the second in 2009. <br />

I didn't know much about Wendell Willkie (1892-1944), but learned a lot more when I began to research this unique piece of film. Though it's "only" an unedited newsreel, it's terrifically shot and composed, as these frame grabs demonstrate. And full of historical information. In the Academy War Film files in Special Collections at the Margaret Herrick Library, a folder contains a full "dope sheet" rundown of the film's content. <br />
<br />
In 1942, FDR sent <span class="il">Willkie</span>,
whom he had defeated in the 1940 Presidential election, on a 49 day
goodwill and fact finding mission around the world, with stops in South
America, Egypt, England, Iraq, the Soviet Union, and China. He flew in a converted B-24 Liberator aircraft, and left New York on August 26th, 71 years ago to the day as I write this. In the course of his journey, he discussed the problems of the war with
King Farouk of Egypt, British General Bernard ("Monty") Montgomery, General Charles de Gaulle, Joseph Stalin and General Chiang
Kai-shek. <br />

At the time, there was still doubt in parts of the
world as to the sincerity of the American people in the support of
FDR's prosecution of the war. Who would be better prepared to dissipate
doubts regarding the unity of the American people
in carrying the war to an Allied victory than the leader of the loyal opposition in the United States? </div>

One of the members of the <span class="il">Willkie</span> party in China, Hollington K. Tong (Vice-Minister of Information; graduate of Columbia University, 1913), has an Academy connection. In 1943, the Academy’s Board of Governors invited Tong to become a member

invitation, but suggested another person, Dr.
H. L. Shia of the Chinese News Service, headquartered in New York City (at 30 Rockefeller Center). which provided the Academy with this Willkie in China newsreel. </div>

He talked generally about the state of the country and the world, as well as the role of the film industry in the war (remember this was less than three months after Pearl Harbor).

It's interesting to note another China connection with the 14th Awards. As you'll know if you read my earlier posts, KUKAN received an honorary Academy Award at this ceremony. Too bad KUKAN's filmmaker, Rey Scott, couldn't attend the Awards Show, because he and Willkie would have had a lot to discuss concerning China. </div>

Young about three years ago, introduced by our mutual friend Sandra Schulberg. She thought I might be interesting in bringing Bob's films into the Film Archive, and she was right! Bob and I communicated off and on for awhile, and he eventually introduced me and my wife Monica to his family, inviting us to dine with them periodically. Bob has had an amazing, long career, making both documentaries and features, and there is no question that his films belong at the Archive. My friendship with Bob coincided with the growing relationship between the Archive and DuArt, owned by Bob's brother Irwin.<br />
<br />
Back in December of 2012, the Film Archive received many boxes of original elements from Bob's films, including SHORT EYES and THE BALLAD OF GREGORIO CORTEZ.<br />

<br />
As I learned more about GREGORIO CORTEZ, the more interested I became, and thought it a perfect candidate for preservation. It was only available on home video in the US on VHS, and has not been widely seen theatrically since its release in 1982. However, its significance and influence is wide, with probably the first Chicano hero in modern American film, with Edward James Olmos in his breakout role as Cortez. It was one of the earliest, if not the first, feature shot on Super 16mm. A sort of informal team has developed to investigate the preservation of CORTEZ, including Bob Young, Eddie Olmos, Irwin Young, David Leitner, Dave Terman and Bill Baldwin. During a recent dinner with much of the group, Bob and Eddie regaled us with terrific stories about the production and distribution story of the film - it was like a live version of a DVD commentary track. <br />

<br />
There are problems, however, both technical and legal. CORTEZ was shot on 16mm, but conformed in 35mm. The Film Archive received the original 16mm camera negative, but this is "flash to flash," with all the selected takes printed end to end. The "original" conformed 35mm negative is believed to be held by Canal Plus in Paris. They own much of the foreign rights to the film, and Sony and MGM split the US domestic rights.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoQ2DWi1uawrUW8xtMyUdfbJIoUcjLk52jXvKPCvWIQ8gLsGZ7na6Jp3XW0Z3ZY9n7eJpk1yVokoceyDjvrAVz_rLSJTi4KuhC6AwAE5DKQG1KZyj1aggDxA2tZzSdDS0YWKV5O_OTi9Y/s1600/cortez+looking+down.tif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoQ2DWi1uawrUW8xtMyUdfbJIoUcjLk52jXvKPCvWIQ8gLsGZ7na6Jp3XW0Z3ZY9n7eJpk1yVokoceyDjvrAVz_rLSJTi4KuhC6AwAE5DKQG1KZyj1aggDxA2tZzSdDS0YWKV5O_OTi9Y/s1600/cortez+looking+down.tif" height="291" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
So far, we've been unable to confirm that Canal has the 35mm negative or other pre-print, or the condition of these materials, as they've been less than forthcoming. Even if Canal has these materials, they may not give us access to them. It would be easier and cheaper to create new preservation materials from the 35mm materials, but if they're unavailable, our team may have to resort to plan B, which would involve scanning the original 16mm negative. This would be more complicated and expensive, because of the length of the negative - over 35,000 feet, and the need to basically re-edit the film from scratch (this is a very condensed version of the process, giving you the general idea of what we may have to do). <br />
<br />

The search and planning continues. Hopefully soon I'll be able to update with good news on the project. <br />

The Film Archive has preserved many films from this collection - for more info, see: <a href="http://www.oscars.org/events-exhibitions/features/war-films/index.html">http://www.oscars.org/events-exhibitions/features/war-films/index.html</a>) The Academy staff at the time thankfully kept very detailed records of this collection, as well as how they worked with it. In my research in Special Collections at the Academy's Margaret Herrick Library, I came across files containing step by step instructions on how to loan a film, including samples of every single form to be filled out and sticker to be affixed. If you studied all this, and were then transported back to 1942, you'd be able to do the job just fine. <br />
<br />
In addition, several different card catalogs, documenting both the contents of the Library as well as the movements of the prints survived, and these are held at the Film Archive. I came across the following card while preparing the "Oscar's Docs" retrospective back in 2004.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZxET2FQ9nI_q9Fgtr9woe7JfqX9OiqnwGmKx9pxNQ_r89bw_to7zFZw3a-VPFowOQpU_3lny9CzrX8EipY9Obi5K9SinbBUFSczgdchuFE5-U5NxI8bNN7V-enreIrjU02x3kN7i0yL0/s1600/churchill.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZxET2FQ9nI_q9Fgtr9woe7JfqX9OiqnwGmKx9pxNQ_r89bw_to7zFZw3a-VPFowOQpU_3lny9CzrX8EipY9Obi5K9SinbBUFSczgdchuFE5-U5NxI8bNN7V-enreIrjU02x3kN7i0yL0/s1600/churchill.jpg" height="428" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
This card is for a (nitrate!) print of CHURCHILL'S ISLAND, the first film to win an Academy Award in the newly created documentary category, for films made in 1941 (a caveat - two other Oscars were presented to films that year, for KUKAN and TARGET FOR TO-NIGHT, but they were officially "Special Awards."). This print had been submitted for consideration for those first documentary Oscars.<br />
<br />
The first "out" is to the Filmarte Theatre, for the "nomination screening" evening. In the infancy of this category, the procedures for how to judge these films was still being worked out, so the sole showing of the submitted films took place in a commercial theater. In attendance were the five members of the Documentary Awards Committee, as well as many Academy members, including several Hollywood stars. Incidentally, the Filmarte Theatre, which was demolished in 1990, was located at 1226 N. Vine Street, just across from where the Film Archive is today.<br />
<br />
The film is signed back in by "Sam" - Sam Brown, then assistant to Margaret
Gledhill Herrick. Brown later became Herrick's successor, alas only for a
short time, as poor health forced his retirement. <br />
<br />
The next "out" is to Joris Ivens, the legendary Dutch documentary filmmaker, at USC. Ivens' connection to the new documentary awards is an unfortunate one. He'd submitted his film POWER AND THE LAND for awards consideration in 1940, the year before the doc category was created, for Live Action Short. Quite a few documentary films were nominated or won awards in this category before docs were officially recognized by the Academy. But at 38 minutes, it was 8 minutes too long to be considered a short. Undaunted, Ivens submitted the film in 1941, but was again rebuffed, since the film was ineligible because it had been released the year before! The "D.G." who personally took the print to Ivens, is Donald Gledhill, Executive Secretary of the Academy, and husband of Margaret Herrick. He left the Academy for military service soon after, in 1943. The film is then sent by messenger to the Taft Building in Hollywood, the home of Academy offices.<br />
<br />
Next, the film went to Murray Seldeen, a supervising film editor at Republic, and was signed back in by Grace - Grace Gaunt (my favorite Academy staff name from the period, who sounds like a Gothic novel heroine). <br />
<br />
This popular title then went out again a few days later, to Hal Wallis, producer at Warner Bros. (who no doubt was working on CASABLANCA at the time). His papers are at the Herrick Library.<br />
<br />
Finally, CHURCHILL'S ISLAND went out to Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin West, his winter home, studio and architectural campus (One shudders at the thought of a nitrate print out there in the desert, in the days before air conditioning). The first phase of construction of this landmark had been completed just two years before. One wonders about Wright's interest in the film. And though Hal Wallis and Joris Ivens had kept the film only a couple of days each, Wright was allowed to have the print "for an indefinite period." Thankfully, CHURCHILL'S ISLAND was returned to the Library. And good thing, too, because it became the basis of the Film Archive's preservation of the film in 2004, as it was the best known surviving source. <br />

In 1943, it was one of our strategic aims, to draw as many
German armed forces as possible away from the Russian front, and French
coastal areas, and to contain them on the Italian peninsula, while liberating
as much of Italy as might be possible with the means at our disposal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As the bulk of our supplies was directed to
England for the forthcoming invasion, operations in Italy had to be conducted
on an extremely limited scale. Thus it came about, that during the winter
months, the number of Allied divisions in Italy was greatly reduced. Yet so
determined was their effort, that they succeeded in holding Italy, a very
large number of German divisions during the pre-invasion period. San Pietro,
in the 5<sup>th</sup> Army sector, was the key to the Lira Valley. We knew
it, and the enemy knew it. We had to take it, even though the immediate cost
would be high. We took it, and the cost in relation to the later advance, was
not excessive. By its very nature, this success worked bitter hardships upon
each individual soldier, calling for the full measure of his courage and
devotion. The response of our 5<sup>th</sup> Army troops provides an
inspiring page, in our military history. To these individuals, living and
dead, and to those who now continue in their tradition, this picture is
dedicated. </div>

Though the shorter version is the "standard," copies of the longer exist, in 16mm, on video, and viewing on YouTube. The Academy Film Archive has preserved long version, from a very good quality 35mm safety print. A new preservation dupe negative was made, and a new show print made from that, which screened in an entry of the John Huston lecture series at the Academy in March of 2008.<br />

Though the film is well known, and much written about, no one - so far as I know - has detailed the history of the film, and the differences between the two versions. I found quite a bit of background material in the John Huston papers at the Academy's Margaret Herrick Library which reveals some of that history, but many mysteries still remain. I've done shot-by-shot breakdowns comparing both versions (see my next post). You can see how carefully Huston chose every word, every shot from version to version, even though under tremendous pressure to complete the project. <br />
<br />

<br />
The most obvious change is that Huston and his editor William Hornbeck "flipped" the image of many shots of advancing troops. Any careful viewer of battle scenes in traditional war films - or a student of classical film editing - knows that troops on one side should face one direction, and those on the other side, the opposite direction. That's how the filmmaker keeps it clear who's who. and how the battle is progressing. So, if a soldier is advancing toward the right in the long version, he advances to the left in the short version. But why the "flipping" of images here? --we never see any Germany troops in action, so we always know we're looking at American troops. Most of the changes seem to be for consistency's sake, as the direction is almost always right to left - but not entirely. Was this Huston's decision? Hornbeck's? Watch the short version, and notice soldiers firing rifles or tossing hand grenades, and ask yourself, "Did the Army send all its left handed troops to fight in this one battle?" (One such image graces the cover of the National Film Preservation Foundation's first DVD compilation "Treasures from American Film Archives.")<br />

Did Huston think of this film as a creative project, or just an "assignment?" It's clear reading the correspondence in his papers at the Herrick that he wanted to do the film his way, and bucked at all "suggestions" from his Army superiors or Washington politicians to make changes in the film. With each new memo from brass, Huston argued against them, and later often "forgot" to make the changes he's finally agreed to. One of my favorite moments in years of film research occurred when I came across a memo from Undersecretary of War James Patterson, complaining that the required changes demanded in previous directives had not been made. At the bottom of the page, in pencil, is a note from Huston's filmmaking supervisor, Major Frank Capra, saying, "Huston, let's have no more of this insubordination." It's fascinating that Huston had the courage, chutzpah or stupidity, to go against direct military orders, as if though they were merely artistic differences between him and a studio head, and that Capra believed there was more at stake here than just art or box office. <br />

Why do so many scholars and sources refer to the film as THE
BATTLE OF SAN PIETRO? It was called BATTLE OF SAN PIETRO during
production, but title cards on the two version are SAN PIETRO. The original press kit calls it SAN PIETRO, as do contemporary reviews. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Considered by many the greatest American documentary made
during World War II, SAN PIETRO (aka THE BATTLE OF SAN PIETRO), was the second
of John Huston’s non-fiction war trilogy. Simultaneously a tribute to the
courage and heroism of the ordinary footsoldier, and an indictment of the waste
and futility of this battle and of all war, SAN PIETRO stands as a monument to
Huston’s talents as director, writer, and speaker of his own brilliant words. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Huston
had established his filmmaking credentials prior to his entry into the U.S.
Army Signal Corps in April of 1942. He had been nominated for an Academy Award
three times, for DR. EHRLICH'S MAGIC BULLET (1940), SERGEANT YORK and THE
MALTESE FALCON (both 1941). After enlistment, the Signal Corps attached him to
Frank Capra’s film unit, and assigned to show the daily activities of Army and
Army Air Forces personnel on Adak Island in Alaska. The resulting film, REPORT
FROM THE ALEUTIANS, released in July of 1943, was nominated for Best
Documentary Feature. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Huston’s next major assignment was to document the Allies’
recapture of Rome. Plans for such a film were derailed, as the Allied advance
through southern Italy had slowed to a halt. In the fall of 1943, the Army
wanted a film explaining this situation to Americans at home. It attached Huston
to the 143<sup>rd</sup> Infantry Regiment of the 36<sup>th</sup> Texas Infantry
Division, and sent him to the Liri Valley, the site of some of the bloodiest
fighting of the Italian Campaign. The tiny village of San Pietro, the key to
the entire valley, proved to be nearly impervious to assault. The Germans kept Allied
troops at bay, inflicting tremendous casualties. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As this project was to be a
joint Anglo-American production, British novelist and screenwriter Eric Ambler
joined the otherwise all American filmmaking crew. Over many weeks, Huston and
his fourteen member crew (two of whom were killed in battle) shot 45,000 feet
of film. It was probably the first time in the war that an “embedded” film team
stayed with a single combat unit for an extended period of time. Huston,
Ambler, and Jules Buck (Huston’s “fixer” throughout the war, and later a Hollywood
producer) even entered the blasted-out remains of San Pietro before the Allied
troops, later returning to document the shell-shocked villagers emerging from
their hiding places. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
During the filming, Huston had no idea what the footage
looked like, as it was sent directly to Washington for processing. Only after
he returned to Astoria Studios in New York could he see what he had, and piece
together a film. He screened his initial five reel cut to Army brass, who
deemed its violence too graphic for both military and civilian audiences. Some
even described it as “antiwar,” eliciting Huston’s famous retort, “If I ever
make anything other than an anti-war film, I hope you take me out and shoot
me.” However, General George C. Marshall came to the film’s defense, saying,
“This picture should be seen by every American soldier in training. It will not
discourage but rather prepare them for the initial shock of combat.” For the
film, Captain Huston was decorated and promoted to major. </div>

Among the group's members were terrific filmmakers and teachers such as Richard Pearce, Rick Berg, Linda Reavely, Tony Silver, Margot Winchester, Judy Chaikin, and Kate Amend. Lynne had known the others for many years; I was a newcomer but soon became good friends with everyone, especially Ms. Littman. She hosted the meetings at her amazing home near the Hollywood Bowl, and we spent part of the time watching portions of the submitted docs in her "media room," where she kept many videotapes of her work. I nagged her often to bring the tapes to the Film Archive for safekeeping and preservation, which she said many times she would do - soon.<br />
<br />
Finally in 2010, she brought in several boxes of 3/4", VHS, 1/2" reel-to-reel, and a couple 1" tapes the Archive. At the time, we were "migrating" tapes on obsolete formats to digital betacam. As you may know (if you don't by now, you should!) all tapes on old formats are in extreme danger - there are not many machines left on which to play them, and the tapes themselves, especially if not kept in proper storage conditions, may only play with great difficulty, if at all. <br />
<br />
Due to various circumstances, we in the Film Archive were not able to migrate Lynne's tapes until recently, and by then our protocols had changed. We now have long term digital storage at USC, and are no longer moving old tapes to tape, but going to digital files. Actually, Lynne's tapes were some of the first to undergo this process, so we're learning as we go, and except for a few issues here and there, the process has been quite successful.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The majority of the tapes are programs or reports that Lynne made as a producer and reporter at KCET in the 1970s. Unfortunately, KCET does not seem to have retained their master tapes for these pieces, so we believe that these copies may be the only ones that survive (in fact, many are labeled "Master.") These news and public affairs pieces are a fascinating and valuable time capsule of life in Los Angeles in the 70s. Some of the material is political, and very cutting edge, others more social but no less compelling. I wish I had the time to discuss each one, but I'm just going to hit some highlights.<br />

Another short report from Lynne concerns the dangers of asbestos. Though a known carcinogen since the 1930s, asbestos was at the time still an ingredient in many household products, and available for sale in many hardware stores. Lynne goes to a store and buys a paper bag of asbestos powder, dispensed from an open container by a barehanded clerk!<br />

In one studio panel, Lynne talks to four gay men, all prominent (then and later) activists, who give articulate testimony to their own experiences, as well as how gay people should be able to fit into the larger society. One of this group is Morris Kight (1919-2003), one of the founders of the gay rights movement in the United States.<br />

In another panel, Lynne speaks to four lesbian activists (including Ellen Broidy, part of the group that proposed the first gay pride parade) about their lives. Surprisingly for the period, the discussion is straightforward and matter-of-fact, without apology. This seems to me a tremendously significant historical document. <br />

In 1977, Littman and her then-husband Taylor Hackford made a terrific
concert documentary about Rick Nelson and his Stone Canyon Band, IT'S
ALL RIGHT NOW, with revealing behind-the-scenes interviews with
Nelson and his fans. <br />

Now, most of these tapes were in decent condition, others not so much.
But for this transfer process (done at DC Video), the tapes were "baked"
first to prepare them for transfer. The 1/2" reel-to-reel tapes were especially tricky due to their rarity. It's gratifying to know that these films are now preserved for the future, and available to be seen again. <br />

I had grown up in San Jose, as a typical suburban kid. I loved movies, and wanted to know more about them, but had very little background in studying them seriously.<br />
<br />
I had many famous, even legendary (though I wouldn't say universally good) teachers at NYU - Bob Stam, Jay Leyda, Bob Sklar, Bill Everson, and Brian Winston. Brian had recently become the interim head of the Cinema Studies department. I took his documentary course, and though at the time it was just another class for me, its importance only has increased over time. <br />
<br />
I remember a few choice things about Brian and his class. I recall his description of two documentarians from the British Documentary Movement, probably Humphrey Jennings and Basil Wright (or was it Harry Watt?): they were "like chalk and cheese." I don't know why, but this particularly English phrase stuck with me then, and I remember it to this day. In contrast to many of my other NYU professors, Brian challenged us to think instead of just imparting information, and at the time I think I was put off by, and even resisted his style, while subconsciously appreciating the effort required to understand his methods. The most important idea he taught was that NO documentary is unbiased, and that every single film contains within it clues to its slanted, and often political vision of the world. He would point out seemingly tiny or insignificant details in films and explain why this gave the filmmaker's point of view away. This lesson seems so obvious and self evident to me now, but to a unworldly 21 year old, this was a revelation. <br />
<br />
Outside of class, I got to know Brian a little, as the Cinema Studies department was a rather chummy bunch. I remember in one social setting that he talked about his dislike of virtually all of then-contemporary cinema, and his preference for what was being done on television. Why then, I cheekily asked, was he the head of the CINEMA department?<br />
<br />
Cinema Studies students had to take one production course, and I took Brian's in the summer of 1982. Our equipment was terrible and was constantly breaking down; we complained constantly. However, Brian taught us one simple rule: lunch was the most important part of filmmaking. I think Brian only partly thought this was a joke - actually, making sure we had lunch (no matter how meager, on our grad student budgets) some time during our shooting day did help.<br />
<br />
After NYU, I got a job in the Film Department of MOMA, and my film education continued. Though I learned more about documentaries in my time there, it was but one of many types of films that washed over me. It was only when I came to the Academy Film Archive in March of 1994 that the seeds sown in 1981-82 bore fruit, and I was hired by Michael Friend to build up the Archive's documentary collection. Thanks, Brian, for your teaching, and for making me think.edhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01025162050557484946noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3447934967413309071.post-49031142100230443682013-07-30T21:57:00.001-07:002019-01-01T19:58:08.720-08:00The Most Notable Documentary You've Never Heard OfKUKAN: THE BATTLE CRY OF CHINA (1941) <br />
<br />
Have you seen it? Didn't think so.<br />
<br />
Know what it's about? Thought not.<br />
<br />
Any idea who made it? Uh huh. <br />
<br />
Even heard of it? Right. <br />
<br />
KUKAN was the first Oscar winning American documentary feature. It won a Special Academy Award the first year that the Academy created a new award category for docs. It was famous in its day: national newspapers editorialized on its importance in showing the horrors of the Japanese war against China. The film's director, Rey Scott, screened the film to FDR and Eleanor at the White House. Orson Welles proclaimed, "<span class="st">One of the most exciting stories in the world. Everyone should see it." David O. Selznick thought so much of it, that he distributed KUKAN in 35mm, even after the film had already had an extensive run in 16mm. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="st">Journalist, photographer and adventurer Rey Scott, a native of St. Louis, made several trips to China in the late 1930s and early 40s, filming the land and people, much of it for the first time in color. He also documented the Japanese invasion and the Chinese people's efforts to repel the enemy. His partner in these efforts was Li Ling-Ai, a Chinese American woman from Hawaii. Li Ling-Ai is the focus FINDING KUKAN, a documentary being made by Hawaiian filmmaker (and friend of mine) Robin Lung - <a href="http://www.nestedeggproductions.com/">http://www.nestedeggproductions.com/</a> and </span><br />

I had a chance to look at the entry sheet when the film was submitted for Academy Award consideration back in 1963. As you may recall from an earlier post, the rules for qualification were considerably different then than they are today. Films did not have to screen in commercial houses in New York and Los Angeles. As I mentioned before, the rules stated, somewhat vaguely that a film only had to be shown, "for the audience for which it was intended." I assumed that in this film's case, that meant movie audiences in France. Well, on the entry form, in the area for "qualifying screening," the producer wrote, "On the S.S. France, somewhere between Le Havre and New York." That's amazing! Not only did the producers believe that this was a "normal" venue to qualify for Awards consideration, but the Academy thought so, too. Of course, this kind of thing could never happen in subsequent years, but it's fun to see that in those days, things were a lot looser.<br />

Today I finished up processing all the material that Brigitte Berg sent from Paris - original picture negative, 35mm optical track negative, 16mm optical track negative, some title elements, and an interpositive of the trailer. In the final can were 10 rolls of timing tapes (for the uninitiated, these are machine-readable paper tapes which relay to a printer the proper color values for each shot). Many times, these tapes are thin and fragile, about the size of 16mm film. These tapes, however, were "heavy stock" paper, and 35mm in size. And they contain their own metal "filters." Though some of my colleagues had seen these before, they were a first for me. <br />

Academy so we could copy it for preservation purposes. I was still thinking that it would be faded,
and that we’d need to spend a ton of money doing a digital restoration.</div>

arrived, and the second I unwound the leader and down to the picture, I saw that it was an IB

I am the Documentary Curator of the Academy of Motion Pictures Film Archive, where I've been for the past 19 1/2 years. Prior to that, I worked for 7 3/4 years at the UCLA Film and Television Archive, and my first job out of NYU Cinema Studies at the Museum of Modern Art, was for about 5 years.<br />
<br />
At the Academy, my job is, in a nutshell, to acquire, protect and make available documentaries. The Film Archive has a large collection of films of all types - features, shorts, animation, experimental, foreign, silent era, docs and home movies. We have several large climate-controlled vaults in the heart of Hollywood, located in the Pickford Center for Motion Picture Study, where we moved in 2002. Our previous home was the Academy's Fairbanks Center on La Cienega in Beverly Hills. (I could write a substantial history of the Film Archive's expansion over the past 20 years, but that needs to wait for another post. Our staff numbered 4 when I began, and is now over 30. I can also write a history of the film archival work at the Academy during the past 65 years, but again, for later...) <a href="http://www.oscars.org/filmarchive/index.html">Academy Film Archive</a><br />
<br />
My first priority is films that have been nominated for or won Academy Awards, and any films made by filmmakers so nominated or awarded. Otherwise my mandate is pretty broad, and I have brought in collections from all kinds of filmmakers, some whose films have not even screened much theatrically, such as those of Robert Drew. Bob's collection is the largest collection I've ever dealt with, and probably the largest one in the Film Archive's history (again, I need another post to detail the Archive's acquisition of Bob's collection). In addition to Bob's films, during my tenure we have also gotten the collections of Albert and David Maysles, Charles Guggenheim, Robert Snyder, Barbara Kopple, and many others.<br />

Early in my Academy career, I attempted in most cases to acquire good prints of films not in our collection. Later on, and more especially recently, the focus has been the acquisition of the best surviving materials, and the original negative if possible. The transition away from film has meant that labs and film storage companies have been closing down, thus endangering the status of many, many film negatives.<br />
<br />
When I started, for a variety of reasons (yet another post!!) the Academy did not have good copies of all the doc winners, to say nothing of the nominees (more posts on both of these!) Progress was slow, but the turning point came in 2005, with the creation of the "Oscar's Docs" screening series, the first complete retrospective of Oscar winning documentaries ever. This forced me and my Archive colleagues (especially Preservation Officer Joe Lindner) to find good quality film prints for all the screenings (over a 6 year period), which we were able to do for virtually all the films. In some cases, the original materials were still around and in good condition, so we just arranged to strike a new print. However, with many of the films, it was often a long and complicated process just to locate any decent surviving material, if it existed at all. In the most extreme case, for PROJECT HOPE (1961), the Academy held the only known surviving copy of any kind, a badly faded 16mm print, which we restored digitally. At this moment, all but a handful of Oscar winning documentaries have been properly preserved for the future.<br />

Since the end of the "Oscar's Docs" series in 2010, I have turned my attention to the nominees. There are only about 150 winners, but over 500 nominees, so this is a much bigger task. There are many titles on which the Academy has no copies, only video, or inferior film copies. Finding the best surviving material (which could be the original or duplicate negative, but maybe a less-than-satisfactory 16mm print, as with PROJECT HOPE), can be quite a detective project, sometimes taking years to accomplish. Almost all these films are "orphans," meaning that they don't have a film studio or powerful and/or wealthy filmmaker taking care of them. There are so many kinds of "makers" or "owners" of the nominees - people who only made one film, people to whom film was a sideline, companies or institutions with little film expertise or interest. Often the filmmakers have died, or the organizations have ceased to exist or sold one or more times to larger entities. It's a sad fact, and I hope to be proven wrong, but I believe that a few nominated docs may be lost - NO surviving copies of any kind. And the documentary awards categories began in 1941, so we're not talking about lost films from the silent era; these are relatively "modern" titles. My research on some titles have turned up virtually no leads on the whereabouts of even a print, let alone negative. For two or three titles - I don't even know what the films are about!<br />
<br />
That's a thumbnail sketch of my background and what I'm up to, with more details to follow.<br />

In 1988, the UCLA Film and Television Archive was interested in acquiring the silent film collection of John Hampton, and sent Eric Aijala and myself to the theater to inspect the collection. The films were all stored in boxes, mostly stacked on the theater seats. For two weeks, we wound through every single print in John's collection and made reports on their condition. (Eric and I started at UCLA about the same time, and I was initially hired as a three month temp, a new transplant from New York City. Eric and I worked side by side in those early days, and when I worried aloud of my prospects if my position didn't become permanent, Eric's helpful refrain would be, "You could always go flip burgers." I eventually learned to appreciate Eric's sense of humor.)<br />

John was an amazing character, a significant figure in the film history of Los Angeles. He and his wife Dorothy started Silent Movie in the early 1940s, because John felt that silent films should continue to be screened and enjoyed. He developed a huge library of 16mm prints, some of which he tinted and toned himself. He projected the films, and created his own soundtracks by simultaneously playing records from his huge collection of 78 records. The theater operated until 1980.<br />

While Eric and I wound through the films, John regaled us with stories of the films, the way he worked, and the Hollywood greats who often came to his theater. Damn, I wish I'd had thought to record his stories for posterity, and only took a handful of pictures. I now only remember a few of them. He said that some of the giants (it may have been Chaplin or Lloyd or Keaton - I don't recall), would come incognito, disguised in dark glasses and big hats, and sit in the back of the theater. He told a story of Mae West, who lived and I believed owned an apartment building on Rossmore. She looked out her window one day and saw that the building directly across the street was being painted a color she hated, and so just bought the building, so she could paint it the color she liked.<br />

After our project was completed, David Packard agreed to purchase the entire collection and place it at UCLA. It contained many rare and in some cases unique items, which have proven very valuable to their preservation program. Two years later, John died, and the theater experience a period of pretty crazy events, including the murder of its subsequent owner. edhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01025162050557484946noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3447934967413309071.post-4404259492221442762013-07-20T20:29:00.000-07:002013-07-20T20:29:15.033-07:00Saving Films at DuArt<br />

As many of you may already know, I have been working since early this year on the Great DuArt Rescue Project, so-called, in which several U.S. film archives have been collaborating with DuArt in New York to rescue films they've been storing, in most cases for decades. DuArt's film processing business closed a couple years ago, and they've now decided to close their film storage as well. My good friend and colleague Sandra Schulberg, who know the folks at DuArt well, and I have talked about the DuArt situation for the past couple of years, and knew the day would come when DuArt could no longer keep their films.<br />
<br />
For those of you who don't know about DuArt, it is one of the great film companies, and institutions, in the history of film. It would take me a book to go into just how much Irwin Young and this company have meant to independent filmmakers not only in New York, but around the world, for several decades. Not to mention their technical innovations. They are yet another sad example of the transition away from film that Analog Image Lovers are now suffering through.<br />
<br />
With Sandra's help, I began communicating with folks at DuArt to see what the situation was, and if the film archives could be of help. I first discussed things with Andy Young, Irwin's nephew (and Oscar nominated doc filmmaker), who helped to get things moving. I then got in touch with colleagues at the Museum of Modern Art, George Eastman House, the UCLA Film and Television Archive, and the Library of Congress, to see if they would be interested in bringing films into their collections. Since there was no accessible master list or database of exactly what DuArt had, we had to go to their vaults and check the shelves in person. DuArt, in the person of the fantastic Steve Blakely, had been trying to contact filmmakers for several years to ask them to retrieve their films, so many films were already gone. However, thousands of films remained - we just didn't know what was there.<br />

<br />
In early April, my Academy colleague Brian Drischell and I went to New York, as did representatives of MOMA, GEH, Anthology Film Archives, and others representing various film institutions, to look through all of DuArt's vaults, to identify exactly what was there, and tag those films which each institution was interested in bringing into their collection. As I mentioned, Steve had been valiantly trying for some time to contact filmmakers, but in many cases their contact information was out of date. One problem we encountered was that information in the boxes was incomplete or misleading - the title may have been a production-only title, and the name could have been the person or company that originally placed the elements there, not necessarily the director or producer. I should say here that practically everything we saw at DuArt were pre-print elements: original or printing picture and track negatives.<br />
<br />
As we looked through the shelves, we were amazed at what we saw: though the majority of titles were unfamiliar, we did see the original negatives of many, many famous independent films. I was excited to see several Oscar nominated documentaries - some that I knew ahead of time would be there, but many others were a surprise. I also came across some industrials made by Oscar nominated documentarians. Contained in these vaults was a vast array of film types, everything from student films made at NYU and other New York City schools, documentaries, industrials, shorts, animation, promotional films (some from Nebraska and elsewhere in the Midwest), foreign films, and famous and not-so-famous independent features. <br />
<br />
All the archives went through and selected films they thought appropriate for their collections. They often had existing relationships with certain filmmakers, or collections into which some films would natural fit. We developed a huge master list of titles, and there was some overlap, as particularly significant titles generated interest from more than one archive. But this was a rescue mission, and we collegially distributed all such titles.<br />
<br />
Of course, we want to save these films, and give them good homes, but for the most part they do belong to individuals or companies, even the major studios. Some titles are in the public domain, or their owners are either defunct (companies) or deceased (individuals). But most belong to someone, and the archives need to try to contact them. I have personally contacted over 100 filmmakers to let them know that their films are at DuArt, and they will be going to one or another film archive, unless they desire otherwise. The vast majority, perhaps 90%, of the filmmakers that I've contacted, had no idea their films were there. Some, sadly, were either unwilling, unable, or uninterested to deal with their films, and some told Steve to throw their stuff away! Luckily DuArt and the film archives have been working together to avoid disposing of any films. I understand that NYU has decided to take all the student films not selected by the archives.<br />

One caveat: the archives have only take a fraction, perhaps a third, of the remaining films at DuArt. It is not known at this time (not by me, anyway) what the fate is for those films. There has been much discussion that one person or another might take them, but so far, nothing is for certain. <br />

Solving the mystery of this film begins with the synopsis I mentioned
in my last post, from the film's original press materials. Here it is,
in full (note that I said last time that the protagonist was Henri, but
it's Bernard):<br /><br />"Bernard, a Parisian like thousands of other
Parisians, dreams of getting away from it all to live in freedom. He
goes off to the Pacific in search of a new Eden and finds it: first
having visited Tahiti and New Caledonia, on the tiny little island of
Mouli in the Loyalty archipelago.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZXZkX1y7qipOYq1MDD7gJcTSd4YI6K-2D39Biz9nWi-aixVypdoyVcJnq8FPvwHrKwtmeMClMuWj_1WX8PHpTmeyIBt8wyR3SGXK_mVSCvBC7Q2P3T6uPh_db-NFFtpu6zo6Re-PvQvU/s1600/interview+with+a+man.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="233" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZXZkX1y7qipOYq1MDD7gJcTSd4YI6K-2D39Biz9nWi-aixVypdoyVcJnq8FPvwHrKwtmeMClMuWj_1WX8PHpTmeyIBt8wyR3SGXK_mVSCvBC7Q2P3T6uPh_db-NFFtpu6zo6Re-PvQvU/s320/interview+with+a+man.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />250 people inhabit this island, at
the far edge of the world, living a sort of primitive communism.
Bernard, the only white man, is welcomed according to the laws which
govern Polynesian hospitality. During the course of generously
open-handed feast, he is admitted to membership of the tribe; a hut and a
boat are built for him.<br />Bernard leads a carefree existence among the
natives. The latter ride half-wild horses, dive from the dizzy heights
off the cliffs, harpoon sharks with mad abandon. Will Bernard ever be
able to equal them and adapt himself to the new way of life?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBfCqQ1RaFZOLIX2NeFGqySIHmDQo8kmdVROz5m2Eyj0dLzs2Gl8OZueEHItYqrEcWBnwn9RgKsahMAVza8A6yd7vhRHE4Uzk6VfdFzDKGvUqqdRCTGdhQW_z1z6vJ3r06VShtPfKRehU/s1600/two+laughing+men.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="230" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBfCqQ1RaFZOLIX2NeFGqySIHmDQo8kmdVROz5m2Eyj0dLzs2Gl8OZueEHItYqrEcWBnwn9RgKsahMAVza8A6yd7vhRHE4Uzk6VfdFzDKGvUqqdRCTGdhQW_z1z6vJ3r06VShtPfKRehU/s320/two+laughing+men.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />Sometimes he has fits of nostalgia for the world he has left behind.<br />Meanwhile
gossip about "the man from Paris" spreads. Having congratulated the
baker on his daughter's beauty, his homage is taken seriously and
wedding presents are left in front of his hut. He is face to face with
another society, with its own rites and its own laws. Will Bernard
conform to them and marry the young woman? Will he be capable of
breaking with his former existence? He feels that he is a prisoner
without really knowing it, a link in a chain which he cannot break
without breaking in the process."<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZXZkX1y7qipOYq1MDD7gJcTSd4YI6K-2D39Biz9nWi-aixVypdoyVcJnq8FPvwHrKwtmeMClMuWj_1WX8PHpTmeyIBt8wyR3SGXK_mVSCvBC7Q2P3T6uPh_db-NFFtpu6zo6Re-PvQvU/s1600/interview+with+a+man.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><br />That tells us what the film is
about. But what else do we know? My search for both the film and its
director, Bernard Gorsky, on ProQuest turned up only two hits in the NY
Times for the period between 1963 and 1965, and those were only the
announcement of its nomination. So far, it seems as if the film was
never released in the United States. "But how can that be?" you ask,
"Don't films have to screen in LA and NY to qualify for the Academy
Awards?" Not in 1963, they didn't. The rules of the documentary awards
have changed over the years, and during this period, films only had to
be screened "for the audience for which they were intended," which in
this case means people in France.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4lw8gFErnD9slFQFyo1596I157iLIdCOy-pwUdrDW61hKPR6NAmPwQpEialV19nNudXKu9e7Pr2163z-wyxddrCbYtz-YWwRmhPof8Gz2Rl4ZLXVSd_HFQ4Z8TvJCrTPhxj91GBg9ITw/s1600/bamboo+cinema.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="228" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4lw8gFErnD9slFQFyo1596I157iLIdCOy-pwUdrDW61hKPR6NAmPwQpEialV19nNudXKu9e7Pr2163z-wyxddrCbYtz-YWwRmhPof8Gz2Rl4ZLXVSd_HFQ4Z8TvJCrTPhxj91GBg9ITw/s320/bamboo+cinema.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />A side note: many films
nominated during these years never had a US theatrical release. Some
played on (gasp!) television prior to theatrical release (or not in
theaters at all), or overseas only. The list of these kind of films
includes several USIA or other government films, which could not be
legally shown in the US. Charles Guggenheim's Oscar winning NINE FROM
LITTLE ROCK (1964) is such a film. I've seen a period letter from
Guggenheim to one of the Little Rock Nine, sadly telling them he thinks
it may be impossible for him to show the film to this person, because of
the very strong legal barrier against ANY domestic screening.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWLuo9LjPumFdT8n_1rIA7GHnRqLPdWmPEq83bff3FNvrP_Ksy-jHxn8VjZDSLp58tSpAd2hD8WSuC-ppGHY2EyRfawtR39_StZifxeBq3RLFZIhQeshNQ5sr_gNEfXUHdsPuKeJkGJj8/s1600/interview+with+a+woman.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><br />Side
note #2: coincidentally, in an effort to encourage the submission of
more foreign docs, the Documentary Awards Committee changed the rule in
1963 regarding exhibition standards for qualification. Beginning with
the 17th Awards for 1944 films, submitted films had had to screen in the
United States to qualify.<br /><br />Thus, it's possible that LA MAILLON
has never screened in the United States! Certainly an English language
version was created at least for submission purposes for the Documentary
Awards Committee to screen; as I've mentioned before, probably dubbed
and not subtitled. It's likely that the film's producers did so, in
anticipation of a US release, which they probably assumed they'd get
after the film was nominated. I'll continue my research on this, and
have asked Brigitte to see what she can find out. But if the Film
Archive preserves LA MAILLON, we could have the US premiere, 50 years
late!<br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWLuo9LjPumFdT8n_1rIA7GHnRqLPdWmPEq83bff3FNvrP_Ksy-jHxn8VjZDSLp58tSpAd2hD8WSuC-ppGHY2EyRfawtR39_StZifxeBq3RLFZIhQeshNQ5sr_gNEfXUHdsPuKeJkGJj8/s1600/interview+with+a+woman.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="232" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWLuo9LjPumFdT8n_1rIA7GHnRqLPdWmPEq83bff3FNvrP_Ksy-jHxn8VjZDSLp58tSpAd2hD8WSuC-ppGHY2EyRfawtR39_StZifxeBq3RLFZIhQeshNQ5sr_gNEfXUHdsPuKeJkGJj8/s320/interview+with+a+woman.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />What of the filmmakers? So far, I've found out a bit about
Marcel Ichac, one of the producers. He and fellow MAILLON producer Paul
de Roubaix also produced THE OCCURRENCE AT OWL CREEK BRIDGE (LA RIVIERE
DU HIBOU, based on the famous Ambrose Bierce story) which won a Live
Action Short Oscar the same year as MAILLON's nomination.<br />(Side note:
like thousands - perhaps millions - of other American schoolkids, I
remember well seeing OCCURRENCE in 16mm in class, during the Golden Age
of educational film.)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBfCqQ1RaFZOLIX2NeFGqySIHmDQo8kmdVROz5m2Eyj0dLzs2Gl8OZueEHItYqrEcWBnwn9RgKsahMAVza8A6yd7vhRHE4Uzk6VfdFzDKGvUqqdRCTGdhQW_z1z6vJ3r06VShtPfKRehU/s1600/two+laughing+men.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><br />According to Wikipedia and other sites,
Ichac was quite an individual. As an adventurer and filmmaker, he
traveled the globe, making films on mountaineering, the polar regions,
and undersea life (with Jacques Cousteau). He produced the first
Cinemascope film made in France, and first brought electronic music to
film, in 1936. He supposed ran in the NY Marathon until age 80.<br /><br />I've
neglected to mention that Brigitte Berg and the Film Archive have a
well established relationship. Back in 2008 (I believe), she deposited
the original negative of CHAGALL, which coincidentally won the Oscar for
Best Documentary Short the same year as MAILLON's nomination. We've
preserved CHAGALL, and it looks amazing - the color is truly fabulous.
It's a terrific film, with fine narration by noted art collector Vincent
Price.<br />(By the way, the Film Archive has also preserved - with UCLA -
the Doc Feature winner from 1963, ROBERT FROST: A LOVER'S QUARREL WITH
THE WORLD. This film also did not have a theatrical run before its
nomination, and showed originally on TV, produced by WGBH.<br /><br />As you
can see, there is a lot of interesting history about the nominated and
winning docs over the years. These are but a few examples of the
research and preservation stories related to nominees and winners that
I've dealt with over the years. I hope to be able to relate more of them
here, and I'm sure I'll come across more such tales in the future.<br />
