Neighbours

[Voyageur]

In this Oscar®-winning short film, Norman McLaren employs the principles normally used to put drawings or puppets into motion to animate live actors. The story is a parable about two people who come to blows over the possession of a flower.

This is a short film from the national film board produced in 1952. Teachers used to show this in school as a discussion for students. Maybe it also depicts the Neanderthal gene come to life in man, too.

The second film is from Dr. Helen Caldicott; If You Love This Planet - many have likely seen this but could not find it on the search mode. The film is dated to the Reagan era and has some vintage film footage of our human deeds (warning about war depictions of a graphic nature).

This Oscar®-winning short film is comprised of a lecture given to students by outspoken nuclear critic Dr. Helen Caldicott, president of Physicians for Social Responsibility in the USA. Her message is clear: disarmament cannot be postponed. Archival footage of the bombing of Hiroshima and images of its survivors 7 months after the attack heighten the urgency of her message.
