...documentary about a modern-day cowboy spills over into observation of his town, than gropes around to find its lost focal point, and succeeds only in ending three or four times before the end titles; good color photography and John Fahey's original guitar score can't save Donald MacDonald's The Latter Day (UCLA) from being a tedious excursion to low-level technical competence because of its ill-conceived, impersonal idea. We imagine, in watching these films, committees of students in a think-tank saying "Hey, I've got a good idea for a film..." at best, and probably...
...notable exception is UCLA's 8-minute Now That The Buffalo's Gone, by Burton C. Gershfield, an intensely personal treatment of the American Indian seen in modern media, photographed in high contrast solarized color. With blood-red skies surrounding purple-and-green silhouetted Indians, Gershfield synthesizes two unique aspects of American a from two different centuries and creates a novel and moving film...

Like most Buddhist shrines, Borobudur's architecture (see color opposite and overleaf) is symbolic. Rising in stepped terraces, signifying the ten stages of the Buddhist Way of Salvation, the temple is crowned by a bell-shaped stupa. Dozens of dagobas, or small stupas, dot the terraces, while the solid superstructure, measuring 400 ft. at the base and rising to a majestic 130 ft. in height, is laced with open galleries displaying statues and reliefs telling the story of Buddha's life...
