...Underground Control. The prisoners are the remnants of the 6,000 or so Communist suspects who were rounded up in the early hours of the military takeover last April. The junta claims that they remain in prison only because they refuse to sign pledges promising to refrain from political activity. Following an attack on the junta from Paris by Andreas Papandreou, who was recently released from prison and allowed to leave Greece, security officers might be inclined to keep such men in custody a bit longer. While ruling out violence for his own Center Union Party, Papandreou predicted that, unless...
...scathing professional criticism. He can be high in his praise for efforts that show both imagination and care-and many do. One of his students this year did a four-minute movie on the theme of pregnancy, using dense filtered colors, quick cuts and even a touch of Underground technique: he doctored the film stock with scratches to help create an abstract effect. The point is not that any of the students are embryonic Eisensteins, says Sheratsky, but that "these kids, all of them, are thinking film...

Officials of the Soviet Foreign Ministry's press section telephoned Western correspondents to warn them against attending a news conference planned by the mother of Aleksandr Ginzburg and the wife of Yuri Galanskov, two of the four sentenced intellectuals. Both men were sent to labor camps after the trial, and the two women had invited the newsmen to hear details of what had gone on inside the courtroom...
...huge white X. The story line-if it can be called that-is about a youth who tries to convince his girl friend and her parents that sex is everything. His principal occupation is making voyeuristic movies of sexual intercourse. The X blots out most of his underground work, however, leaving the film with hardly a shock at all. If the Danish government goes through with its de-censoring plans, audiences in Denmark might finally be able to see just what went on behind the X-if they care...
