Scientific documentary
Symbiosis and protective systems of decapods

È un film scientifico che nella cornice di visioni di suggestiva bellezza, dei fondi marini, tratta dei sistemi di protezione e delle simbiosi di alcuni decapodi. È il primo film scientifico a passo ridotto che sia stato finora realizzato su questo argomento. Questo film è stato realizzato nella Stazione Zoologica di Napoli, in tre mesi di assiduo lavoro e con ore ed ore di paziente attesa, subordinata alla capricciosa volontà di questi interessantissimi attori.

This is a scientific film that, within the frame of visions of suggestive beauty, of the depths of the sea, deals with the systems of protection and with the symbiosis of some decapods. It is the first scientific small-gauge film that has been made on this subject until now. This film was made in the Zoological Station of Naples, in three months of assiduous work and with hours and hours of patient waiting, subordinated to the capricious will of these interesting actors. —Notizario delle sezioni cinematografiche dei gruppi universitari fascisti a cura del ministero della cultura popolare, September 1938 p. 11

Voorlezer’s House, The

Date produced: 1942

Filmmaker(s):

Frank E. Gunnell

Description:

"The 246 year old Voorlezer House, believed to be the oldest elementary school building still standing in the United States, is located on Staten Island, N. Y. It has long been an interesting landmark, but it is now preserved for posterity in Kodachrome by the master hand of Frank E. Gunnell. On the occasion of the one hundredth anniversary of New York City's present school system, this site was selected for one part of the ceremonies, and eighteen girls and boys, in costumes designed from illustrations in Godey's Lady's Book, went through a typical day, recreated to appear as it might have been in 1842. Mr. Gunnell's technically superb nature films are well known, but in The Voorlezer's House there is much more than immaculate cinematography. There is lighting that fits the mood of days gone by, and there is a sensitive faculty in the direction of a group of children that is appealing. The film is simple in that the continuity is chronological, but the charm of the Gunnell touch was never more telling than in this picture. If ever a potentially dull film subject was made to glow and come alive, this is the time." Movie Makers, Dec. 1942, 506.
