RIFF Selections 1972 Part I

1. Cotton Eyed Joe-From the talented students at USC's School of Cinema, this critically accalimed film documents a day in the life of a lonely hobo. Exquisite photography and haunting music are sensitively blended in this emotional portrait. 2. Nature's Overture-Shots of California's seasons are closely synchronized to Von Suppe's "Poet and Peasant Overture" in this entertaining film, which stands as a monument to good photography and meticulous editing. 3. Little Monastery by the Side of the Road- This short comedy with the long name considers the pressures that rising costs can put on a church's generosity, and manages to leave us all laughing. 4. Invasion of the ZEEKOS- The quick-food franchise is carried to an extreme with Frank Leto's development of the "ZEEKOBURGER" the food that devours people! Leto, a graduate student of the Rochester Institue of Technology, demontrates an effective use of paper cut-outs in this animated film.
