Business screen magazine (1967)

THE 1967 "GOLDEN EAGLE" SELECTION Couiieil on International Nontheatrical Events Picks '"Team" of 164 Pictures to Represent the U.S. at Overseas Festivals TPhe Council on International Nontheatrical Events has selected 164 motion pictures to receive its annual "Golden Eagle" certificate awards, symbolic of their selection by regional and national jury members as films "representative of United States" factual films meriting participation in 1967-68 overseas film festivals." A sizeable number of these "Golden Eagles" went to television documentaries; others to classroom and religious films, to entertainment-quality short subjects, university and college film productions and "experimental" motion pictures. Two amateur-adult films were also awarded 1967 CINE "Eagles" and nine motion pictures produced by young people also received this special citation. A cross-section of 77 "Golden Eagle" award-winners, embracing only those films of special interest to readers of Business Screen. sponsored by industry, government and health or safety organizations, etc. has been selected for brief review in these columns. Their classifications in various "categories" is not sacrosant, nor by any standard, arbitrary. The film. My Garden Japan, for example is listed under "Agricultural and Nature Films" and it truly has that content approach. But it was industry-sponsored. Professional medical and dental films, however, have been carefully classified in category. If sponsorship were the sole criterion many television documentaries, which were generally of a very high quality to merit their festival selection, would have been included. But space has its limitations and CINE is not only generous but also mindful of the tremendous number of good films required for specializing festivals throughout the world.
