A/V Geeks

Churchill – Wexler Films, 10 min 45 sec Shows how a gold-mantled ground squirrel at Crater Lake National Park has learned to solve problems connected with getting food. Illustrates how an animal can learn to find food that is hidden from view or out of reach.

This is one of the AV Geeks favorite films, mostly because Squeak is somewhat of a working class hero who, inspite of what obstacles “the Man” puts in his way, always perseveres.

This film is available on the Those Naughty Animals DVD-R

Friendship Begins at Home (1949)

Barry is “out-growing” his family, as so many high school boys and girls do. His interests are with his friends, and his friends are outside of his family. As the film, opens, Barry’s family is preparing to leave on the summer vacation trip. Barry isn’t anxious to go, for it means giving up many activities with his friends, so he decides to stay at home. At first, Barry enjoys his freedom. But, after a few days, he finds his freedom a bit wearing, and he begins to wish his family were back, or that he were with them. He begins to think about his own relationship to them, and what he can do to improve it.

Could This Have Happened By Accident?

Evolution? Bah!! First Amendment?!
Piddledly-poo! How can any scientists in their right mind look at the wonders
of the universe and dismiss it all to the work of just random chance?! Here’s
a rare look at some science films made by the Christian Moody Science Institute
that somehow snuck there way into public school systems. Could this
have happened by accident? Films include: Carnivorous Plants, Biography of
A Bee, Wonder of Our Body, Mystery Of Time
and Primitive Man In A Modern
World.
