"Gannets are treated exhaustively and other aspects of life on Gaspe lightly in W. A. Levett's Gaspesia, a sound and often informative study of this tiny Canadian community. Mr. Levett has his Kodachrome under crisp control, and the strong textures in many of his sequences lend authenticity to a generally able film. The life of the gannets is admirably handled, though the time devoted to them tends to give the film a split personality." Movie Makers, Dec. 1949, 469.
"another splendid example of what can be done by a lone worker actuated by keen civic pride, and the hearty applause with which it was greeted showed that both its artistic and photographic merits were fully appreciated. We understand that this film has now been shown in all of the eighteen Bristols in America, and we hope it will be followed by many other civic films of a like nature" (HMHT 1933: 273).

A six-minute film that documents the annual procession of the Gion Festival in Kyoto on July 17, 1941. The film opens with several consecutive intertitles explaining a brief history of the festival. As he cut from one intertitle to the next, Hattori used the splicer to create the effect of a diagonal wipe, which made it appear as if the viewers were turning a page of a book.
