Host James Macandrew
Synopsis:
Excerpts from two outstanding films shown at New York's first film festival and a discussion of the works by their
directors are presented. Visiting host James Macandrew are Joseph Losey, director of Britain's "The Servant" and Adolfas Mekas,
writer and director of an American entry "Hallelujah the Hills". They talk about their films and show scenes from their motion pictures.

*NOTE: The New York Film Festival opened September 10, 1963 at Philharmonic Hall. During its 10-day run,
21 films from foreign countries and the United States were shown.

TIME Magazine, 1963.
Hallelujah the Hills is a gloriously funny and far-out farce about two great big overgrown boy scouts who pratfall
in love with the same girl. The weirdest, wooziest, wackiest screen comedy, a slapstick poem, an intellectual hellzapoppin,
a gloriously fresh experiment and experience in the cinema of the absurd, the first cubistic comedy of the new world cinema."
Adolfas Mekas founded Film Culture, the magazine of independent cinema, in 1954.
