FILMS BY YOUNG FILMMAKERS. The five films described below are part of a group of some 60 films made by teen-agers in various sections—chiefly slum areas—of New York City. A few years ago, filmmaking clubs were set up in storefront workshops as part of a neighborhood betterment experiment. The idea was to show young people how to communicate in a new medium and how to work together constructively. The teen-agers were given instruction in using cameras and editing film, but they were encouraged to devise their own plots, write the scripts, cast and direct their friends as actors, and shoot and edit their films

BUBBY (5 minutes, black and white, 1968. Made by Murray Kramer, aged 18.) Bubby is a brief documentary study of an old woman. We see her going about her daily routines at home in a determined manner, reflecting the tenacity with which she holds on to life. She watches television, looks out the window, takes a nap, walks on unsure feet from room to room, eats and washes dishes. On the walls of her seedy but clean and cheerful apartment are photographs of herself and her husband when they were younger and of her children

LIFE IN NEW YORK (6 minutes, color, 1969. Made by Alfonso Pagan-Cruz, aged 17, and Luis Vale, aged 18.) In this fast-moving color film, Park Avenue's affluence, cleanliness, and relative calm are contrasted with the Lower East Side's garbage, violence, and drug use. The film eloquently sums up the filmmakers' anger and frustration at slum conditions and their determination to improve their neighborhood

THE POTHEADS IN LET'S GET NICE (5 minutes, black and white, 1969. Made by Alfonso Sanchez, aged 18.) Some of the hallucinatory effects of marijuana-smoking are imaginatively conveyed through trick photography. Time seems to stand still and the world stands on end when one is under the influence of this drug

TOMORROW NEVER COMES (9 minutes, black and white, 1969. Made by Edgar Sanchez, aged 16.) A teen-aged boy watches helplessly as his girl is struck down by a car. A friend tries to console him with a drink. Later the despairing teen-ager takes marijuana from the friend, and still later is seen injecting heroin. His own death from drugs is implied at the end of the film. A moving study of adolescent self-destruction, the film could be used with young people to open up discussion of this aspect of drug use
