A first film, Street Song, for which Robert T. Wolf '56 was producer, director, and cameraman, has been shown by CBS-TV on a special program dedicated to new films by new filmmakers. It was also accepted as an invitational (non-governmental) entry in the Venice Film Festival and also in the San Francisco International Film Festival. Street Song is a short documentary study of street musicians in New York City. It was a two-year project on which Mr. Wolf worked while carrying on his duties as television film commercial producer for Benton and Bowles.

The Russians, a motion picture made by Howard L. Weinberg '62 during a trip to Russia in the spring of senior year, has been selected as one of fourteen films for the permanent archives of the University Film Producers Association.
