Unfortunately, lack of space has obliged us to hold back the announced articles concerning scriptwriting until issue no. 44 (which will be out in mid-January). Then, readers can ponder the facts in Gordon Roback’s survey of film professionals as they are asked about scriptwriting, and can get a feel — with a little help from Douglas Bowie — about the tensions involved when one tries to write for film. Issue no. 43 does include an additional section about Martin Delfalco’s film, Cold Journey. This section was sponsored by the Department of Indian Affairs, in conjunction with the National Film Board of Canada. December-January 1978 /3
