AMATEUR CLUBS
The Film Exchange
THIS department tries to point out, each month, a specific service to the cause of amateur cinematography which amateur clubs are in a particularly advantageous position to perform. This month, we suggest the development of an international film exchange.
In the early days of the Amateur Cinema League, an effort was made to build up an individual film exchange among amateurs. Since many movie makers have only one reversed print of their films, which they guard jealously against possible loss, practical and sentimental reasons have so far operated against the success of a film exchange between individuals. Then, too, many films made by amateurs are very personal and do not lend themselves to exchange.
Amateur clubs are doing an increasing amount of impersonal filming and are producing film lengths of sound entertainment value and photographic interest. The cost of an extra print of such club productions is slight, when it is pro-rated among all the club

change. Clubs are in existence all over the world; interchange of their films will bring about an easy and intimate knowledge by the people of one nation about the habits and customs of another. That greatly to be desired international sympathy can best be built up by visualization and not by propaganda or political argument.
The Amateur Cinema League is so impressed by this possibility that it has set up the machinery to develop a world-wide club film exchange. To the Little Film Guild, of Philadelphia, must go the honor of having taken the initial step to make this scheme practical. That club has offered to the League a free print of its next production, the League undertaking to circulate it among the clubs of the civilized world. We suggest that every club write into its budget a provision covering a print of each of its films to be sent to League headquarters, there to become a part of the International Club Film Exchange. If this is done and a club film library is thus provided, the League will pay all expenses of its circulation.
