Laanetaguse Suvi

This Estonian nature film is so soothing. Two brothers find wolf puppies and a crane and raise them. There's a melancholic Kes vibe here that I really like... reminds me of the weird European nature films that my relatives in Japan were always watching on TV whenever we visited them when I was a boy. Watch.

Kitelines

That Kimiai film made me think about kites. The colors and materials and geometries of kite-flying are so beautiful. Try doing a google image search for 'tetrahedral kite'. Kite fan culture of the 70s almost mirrors the underground environmental art and inflatables of Ant Farm or whoever. Here are some images from KiteLines magazine from the late 70s. You can find PDFs of every single issue of this magazine here. Start with the earliest issue and travel forward in time - totally amazing.

Eastern Boy (1975)

Pesar-e Sharghi. Beautiful kite, beautiful music, beautiful little film by Iranian director Masoud Kimiai.

Max Parrish / Gordon Cullen

Quick follow-up about This is Tomorrow -- one of the visual props in the film is this beautiful book by Max Parrish of the London County Council. Must have come out right around the time of the festival itself in 1951. Beautiful color illustrations by Gordon Cullen.
