348 EDUCATIONAL CINEMATOGRAPHY
5. Commission. — Techique.
(Draft resolution submitted to the Congress by the Bureau on the proposal of several delegations).
The International Congress of the Educational Film,
Convinced that unification of the sub-standard width film will prove one of the most efficacious means for encouraging teaching by the film and more generally the use of the educational film.
Seeing that the discussions on this point which have been proceeding for a number of years have not yet led to an accord among the group of interested producers.
Notes with satisfaction the declarations from which it results that there is a sincere wish to arrive at an understanding and that the efforts already accomplished, should be encouraged.
Begs the direction of the I. I. E. C. to propose and organize a meeting of representatives of the interested groups to nominate persons to take part in this meeting and to recommend the subjects and method of work which will contribute to this end.
The Congress asks the directing body of the Institute, and more especially its Technical Committee, to take all the necessary dispositions so that the solution hoped for should be attained before August 1st, 1934. In the meanwhile, it is to be wished that the governments or the responsible scholastic administrations will abstain from any decisions liable to anticipate the general decision.
Ilpd SECTION THE CINEMA AND THE LIFE OF THE PEOPLES
Problems raised by the Cinema in connection with different mentalities and cultures.
The Congress,
recognizes the great importance of the problems raised by the diffusion of films among peoples of different mentalities and cultures ;
considers that it is essential to make provisions so that the films to be distributed in different countries or regions should not exert a pernicious influence in propagating from one country to another wrong appreciations of the characteristics of different civilisations ;
considers on the other hand that the task of the cinema, in the face of problems of this kind, must be the promotion of the development of the culture and the conservation of the traditions of the peoples concerned ; at the same time, the cinema must favour intellectual exchanges between the various peoples, and further their mutual understanding;
takes note of the reports presented by the Institute whereof it appears the inquiries which are now being carried on have already given some very interesting results ;
expresses the wish that these inquiries be pursued and that a large publicity be given to the results obtained through them ;
