A SHETLAND LYRIC THE RUGGED ISLAND, stills of which appear on this and the opposite page, is an admirable example of what the independent film-maker can do with courage and initiative. Produced, directed and photographed by Jenny Brown, who has already made several short films of life in Shetland, it is a study of changing conditions in the Islands and of the dissatisfaction of youth with the old standards of living. Certain weaknesses in the scenario are compensated for by the naturalness of the acting and a fine sense of composition and form which gives Miss Brown's photography of the sea-girt, rocky landscape an impressive beauty. The importance of The Rugged Island is that it is a personal achievement, conceived and fashioned almost single-handed, free from any sort of commercial domination, and pointing the way to a method of individual film-making considerably nearer the ideal than is possible under the usual conditions of commercial production.
