Fellini's "Janet"

Of all the films, there are several
which will arouse interest due to
current releases. Fellini's "Juliet of
the Spirits" was the Italian's first
color feature completed after he
had conducted experiments with
hallucinogenic drugs for the Italian
government. For a while, the film's
popularity was a result of the early
60's underground viewing the film
as an ultimate trip.

Rounding out the program are
works by Orson Welles, Igmar
Bergman, Robert Rossen and
others. Mr. Korte also points out
that Pasolini's "The Hawks and the
Sparrows," will be shown, followed
later this year by a special showing
of his film of "Medea," with Maria
Callas. The last program the series is
devoted to is the works of the New
American Cinema movement. This
group of young directors is
attempting to make films that are
alternatives to the traditional
Hollywood film, and might possibly
be forerunners of future film
entertainment.

The films will be screened in
Wilson Hall, on Wednesday, at
4:30, 7, and 9 p.m. Mr. Korte has
recently completed orders for new
projectors and screens for the
auditorium.
