Julien Bryan's International Program
The International Film Foundation, a new, non-profit organization dedicated to the building of world understanding through the production and distribution of documentary films, was announced recently at the Town Hall Club in New York with press, magazine, radio, and educational leaders as guests.
Julien Bryan, one of the leading producers of documentary films, has been named executive director of the new foundation. Operations will be world-wide in scope. Ten sound films interpreting the peoples of Russia, China,
Poland, and Turkey are in production, while two expeditions, one to Europe and another to the Far East, are slated for 1946.
The documentary film offers the most effective medium for acquainting the peoples of the world with each other, Mr. Bryan believes.
The work of the foundation will be a two-way operation, interpreting the people of the United States to people in foreign lands, and picturing life abroad to the people here in our own country.
Mr. Bryan, who has recently completed a series of documentary films on life in the United
States for the Office of InterAmerican Affairs, in addition to some 23 films on life in South America, is also known for his Background of the War series, produced in Europe, which portrays the conditions leading up to World War II. His Siege, made in Warsaw in 1939, showed the heroic stand made by the people of that afflicted city when Poland was attacked by the Nazis. Siege was released by Pathe.
The I. F. F. will operate with funds made available by the Davella Mills Foundation of Montclair, N. J. The initial grant to the Film Foundation is $150,000 a year for two years.
