Calling Mr. Smith: The Themersons call on the average Englishman to recognize the destruction of culture and the atrocities occurring throughout Europe at the hands of the Germans. The eye & the ear: Using photograms and superimpositions, geometrical shapes and natural images, all set to songs by Polish composer Karol Szymanowski, the Themersons experiment with creating a visual counterpart to music. Przygoda czlowieka poczciwego : This is a surrealist film around the theme, "the skies won't fall if you try and go backwards." 538 U-Matic format. 546 All films are in English except Przygoda czlowieka poczciwego which is in Polish. 590 PFA 0750-01-6755. |aCONDITION NOTE: Last checked: April 21, 2003 good condition. 600 10 Themerson, Franciszka. 600 10 Themerson, Stefan. 655 7 Shorts.|2mim 655 7 Documentaries and factual works|2mim 655 7 Personal/independent works.|2mim 655 7 Animation.|2mim 655 7 Propaganda.|2mim 690 0 British films. 690 0 Polish films. 700 1 Cekalski, E. 700 1 Themerson, Franciszka. 700 1 Themerson, Stefan. 700 1 Pobog-Malinowski, Tomasz. 700 1 Graeme, Bruce. 700 1 Szymanowski, Karol,|d1882-1937. 700 1 McKechnie, James. 710 2 Concanen Productions. 710 2 Polish Film Unit. 740 02 Stefan & Franciszka. 740 02 Calling Mr. Smith. 740 02 Przygoda czlowieka poczciwego. 740 42 The eye & the ear. 740 42 The adventures of a good citizen. 935 GLADN185036497 941 0 PFA 0750-01-6755. 946 PFA 0750-01-6755.
