Before the descent of the Canyon trails is made the audiences are taken to various celebrated Lookout points, from which the more notable views of this gigantic marvel of Nature may be viewed to the best advantage. The Grand Canyon is over a mile deep, twelve miles wide and two hundred and seventeen miles long. Through its lowest depths, the Colorado river still cuts its twisting path, carrying with it thousands of tons of silt and other matter, thus continuing its work of making the Canyon deeper and deeper as the centuries roll on. The travelers then begin the perilous descent of the Canyon, which is more than 6,000 feet deep. Down to the very rapids of the muddy Colorado, Mr. Holmes takes his party, there to stand on the shore and watch the frightful power of the river...

Best Served Cold: How a Revenge Film was Buried for Decades2026Documentary

A feature length cinema documentary on how THE FARMER (1977) became the most-requested cult film of the new millennium, and it's a crazy tale that involves an actor incarcerated for manslaughter, serious on-set injuries, banana-man costumes- as well as surprising links to Clint Eastwood and Martin Scorsese. The film also broadens its scope to explore the overlooked, eclectic and often ultra-violent sub-genre THE FARMER belongs to - The Returning Veteran film. A film type that hit its stride in the 1970's with hard hitting character studies such as WELCOME HOME, SOLDIERS BOYS (1971), THE NO MERCY MAN (1973) and ROLLING THUNDER (1977).

Besuch bei Busch1961Documentary

The main committee is of the opinion that the rating "especially valuable" can be retained. The style of the film is appropriate to the subject of "Visiting Busch" in its concentrated limitation to the authentic living environment. The individual visual motifs are composed with great care. On the one hand, the small world appears endearingly portrayed, on the other hand, the film's allusions to the background of the Wilhelm Busch phenomenon are convincing. Above all, the Committee would like to uphold the rating because the film, made in 1961, sought out the people who still knew Busch and bear witness to them in the film in an impressively simple and not exaggerated manner.
