It's Wonderful Being a Girl (1968)

Peterson based this romantic piece on Balzac’s Le Chef-d'oeuvre inconnu and Picasso’s Minotauromachie. The film combines a story of the competition for the love of a woman with images of a young girl with a candle wandering through a corridor, a modern adaptation of the mythological Minoan labyrinths.

The film marked the beginning of a new approach to reality in documentary and prefigures the trademark style of the NFB's newly formed French Unit.

A short film about the relationship between an Aboriginal daughter and her white mother. The daughter, now the sole carer of her dying mother, dreams of far away places, the haunted look in her eyes loaded with a sense of what could have been. Famous Aboriginal singer, Jimmy Little, sings 'Royal Telephone', evoking the presence of Christianity and its role in the assimilation of Aboriginal people. The final scene sees the daughter lying in a foetal position next to her mother, crying. Assimilation, then, can be understood as a pain experienced by both the Aboriginal daughter as well as the white mother.

1950 - a young couple find out whether they are "ready for marriage".

Flashback on the problems, adjustments and transformations occurring in the first year of a couple's married life. Pretty surprising film coming from Coronet about the "honeymoon is over" drama that newlyweds face. The marriage between Dotty and Pete is pretty traditional--Dotty quits her job to be a homemaker once they are married--but some more modernistic ideas come out, such as the idea that the two newlyweds decide together how the money that Pete earns will be spent, and the small mentions of sex. (!!) The "educational collaborator" listed at the beginning, Lemo Rockwood, was a professor at Cornell University, and her marriage course advocated sexual frankness and pre-marital experimentation, so it's easy to see her stamp on this film.

Авторский мультфильм югославского режиссера-аниматора Неделько Драгича. Номинант на «Оскар». Сюжет картины незамысловат: человек собирается лечь спать, но только он начинает предаваться объятиям Морфея, как неизвестно откуда раздается громкое «Тук-тук». Звук повторяется снова и снова, открывая цепь невероятных событий. Вокруг изумленного героя начинают твориться странные вещи, и надоедливое «Тук-тук» при этом не затихает. Перед зрителями разворачивается яркое действо — неконтролируемый разгул фантазии от одного из лучших аниматоров студии Zagreb-film.
