FELIX
GREENE
Born in England, Felix
Greene first visited China
for the BBC. He travelled extensively,
often in remote areas to which
no Westerner had been for over
20 years. He returned with
what is the most complete professional
film coverage of China that
has been obtained by any Western
film-maker. These films form
a moving and human report of
a nation trying, with immense
effort and enthusiasm, to advance
into the modern world.

REPORT
FROM CHINA (1966/7, Colour)
This film records many of the events which took place during the Cultural Revolution.
Many aspects of Chinese life are covered: the people's communes, the industrial
cities and their workers, and scenes of the young Red Guards journeying on foot
to bring their knowledge to the peasants living in the outlying regions of this
vast country.
OTHER MATERIAL
In addition to the titles listed
above, we have a wealth of material
on the Cultural Revolution and
the effects of Mao's rule. We also
have wonderful footage
of Mao addressing rallies and puffing on cigars, of ecstatic crowds; schoolgirls
waving their Little Red Books; fireworks, floats, a packed Tienemann Square,
and all the flamboyant paraphernalia that went with the public parades of
the 1960s. There is material too
on the people's communes, the industrial
cities
and their workers, nurseries for the children of working mothers, and young
Red Guards journeying on foot to bring their message to the rural peasants.
We also have harrowing colour footage of a nuclear bomb test, in which animals
are used to examine the effects of the blast. Please e-mail, fax or phone
us if you have any specific requests
or queries about our Chinese holdings.
