BEECH FORESTERS
(N.Z. Forest Service-National Film Unit) CAN appreciate some of the difficulties of the Forest Service and the National Film Unit in tackling Beech Foresters. It cannot be easy to make a film Jong enough to say anything worthwhile on a subject like this without tending towards monotony in the photography. This is not a very long film, and I’m not sure that all of the difficulties have been overcome. I found the treatment in some cases a little sketchy, though as it happens I know something about the subject, and, it’s possible that the average filmgoer would not be as interested in detail as I was prepared ta be. On the other hand, I don’t think Beech Foresters could be called monotonous. The camera has been used with imagination in the forest and has found enough related aspects of the subject outside to give variety. This is an interesting film which every New Zealander, as a New Zealander, should find worth seeing.
