COMMUNITY ACTION FILMS FOR COMMUNITY ACTION Hannah Williams, Director Riverdale Outdoor Laboratories Bronx, New York When choosing films to serve varied groups and age levels in a community, there are sometimes a wide range of choices on each topic. The problem is to pick the right film for each audience within a community. Therefore, each film mentioned here has been classi- fied A, B, or C. The A films are intended as a general introduction to a subject for use with groups where entertainment and quality of production may have a high priority. B films are also of high quality but may be more effective where the objective is to use the film as a springboard for discussion or a catalyst to action. C films are for the family audience for programs such as weekend presen- tations at nature centers, and considerable attention has been given to the elementary school level children in the audience. For example, if there is an immediate community need to take action on preservation of one particular resource, such as a piece of threatened marshland, a community conservation council might well plan to coordinate a series of presentations on the same topic designed to fit the needs of the different audiences. These could include showing "World in a Marsh" to a family audience, "Between the Tides" to a garden club, "Marshland Is Not Wasteland" to a businessmen's group, and "Fish Out of Water" to high school stu- dents. These groups added together might create an informed com- munity ready to protect its valuable marsh from exploitation as a garbage dump, an industrial complex, or a housing development when sites less valuable as natural areas are available. Similar community programs might be built around water, air pollution control, or population. OPEN SPACE: "Marshland Is Not Wasteland" (p. 29) A B good photography, making strong case for value of marshland. "World in a Marsh" (p. 38) AC beautiful presentation of drama of marsh life.
