Ashland Ave. Chicago, Illinois Eaj± an Over Two Million See Inter-American Films According to recent figures from the Office of the Co- ordinator of Inter-American Afifairs, at the end of November 983,000 people in South America had seen the 52 films which had been shipped to our Latin- American neighbors from the Coordinator's film divi- sion, depicting the customs, home life and industries of the U. S. This film material consists of specially edited prints of informational motion pictures selected from the product of entertainment, educational, scientific and documentary film producers, and government agen- cies. Approximately 2,780 screenings have been held in schools, churches, and special groups. Mobile pro- jection units carry the films to laack-country .sections, small schools, and villages where the people have never seen a motion picture, and many have scarcely heard of the U. S. In the large South American cities, committees of educators, businessmen and officials are assisting the commercial film industry in the circulation of the films. Distribution is through some 265 out- lets, and it is anticipated that this number will be in- creased with the acquisition of more 16mm projectors. Much interest in the cultural interchange of films has also been shown in Mexico, an average of 1000 persons attending each of the 73 showings during three weeks. In the United States, 26 films on Latin America were in circulation at the end of November, reaching schools, colleges, clubs, churches, and community groups through a national system of non-theatrical outlets. The audiences up to this time totalled about 1,763,(XX). The supply of these special films is being augmented steadily. Mr. Francis Alstock, director of the Co- ordinator's film division, states that 75 subjects have now been shipped to Latin America. Likewise, more material for North American audiences will be re- leased from time to time. Connecticut Association Plan Meeting by Radio The Connecticut State Department of Education re- ports that "A Thirty-Minute Meeting by Radio," will be conducted by the Connecticut Audio-Visual Educa- tion Association to take the place of the normal annual meeting, thus overcoming the limitations of space, time, gasoline and tires. This program is to present to the entire educational family and to the public as well the advantages of modern audio-visual education and the ways in which it can be best utilized by schools, institu- tions, the Army and Navy, through radio and other facilities. The meeting will be broadcast through sta- tion WTIC Hartford, and announcements will be sent to all newspapers, educational organizations, public school systems, so that attentive listeners may be pre- pared for the occasion. Transcriptions have been ob- tained from other parts of the country to be included in this program to demonstrate the facilities and flexibility that can be obtained through these means, in any such program. This thirty-minute program is to demonstrate not only educational values through such means but the advantages of a radio educational meeting. d
