Salient. An organ of student opinion at Victoria University, Wellington. Vol. 23. No. 7. Monday, August 8, 1960.

[introduction]

Wit hits programme of August 11, the Victoria University Film Society will complete its screening for the second term. During this time it has shown twelve programmes, consisting of a total of 50 shorts and two features—Julius Caesar and LOuisiana Story. It can therefore justly be said that the Society is an actively thriving body. The audience at each screening varies within a wide range, but has never dropped below 80 and is usually far more.

The films shown have varied widely in quality (Inevitably), but have never been dull—a tribute to fine programming. They have included such brilliant pieces of work as Bert Haanstra's Glass, Rembrandt, and The Rival World, Norman MeLaren's biting Love Thy Neighbour, and the superb Danish Where Mountains Float. One also remembers especially the moving U.N. Overture and the excitement of Rig 20.
