In Poland, 22 films both long and short are now in production. In Brazil, nine new directors have made their film debuts in the last two years, and two dozen more will do the same in the next twelve months.

Here will be a city, 31 miles south of overcrowded Newport Beach, and the beginning of a coastline dotted with beach clubs and marinas, ocean-centered communities and resort hotels. At the center will be the branch of the University of California on a 1,000-acre campus acting as a gigantic hub with spokes extruding into the surrounding residential area. Vast green stretches and extensive recreation areas, with industries scattered among them...
