This consists of comments by an unnamed man about two films shown at Expo 67, the Canadian Pacific-Cominco film entitled We Are Young, and a film he calls Man in the Polar Regions. He also describes an exhibit in the Canadian Pacific-Cominco pavilion, entitled Five Plus One. The speaker describes We Are Young while he views it. The film’s soundtrack is audible in the background. He describes what is being seen on the various screens, for example, multiple screens of children dancing, different shots of children on the centre screen, different shots on all six screens being shown simultaneously, a roller coaster ride shown on all six screens, a black screen, a full-screen shot of a stop sign, a child playing in the sand shown on one screen only, a pan up to the face of the child, all six screens showing a boy trying to help a girl get on a horse, all six screens showing children playing among large pipes, all six screens showing a skier going down a slope, fragmented shots on the screens, the point of view of various shots from a train, scenes of horses, the bottom three screens only showing two girls on a bus, the centre screen only showing a girl playing a cello, all six screens showing the sea rolling in, all six screens showing faces in close-up looking at the sea, fade to black and the credits rolling. Next, the commentator records specific notes on the film, without film projection, analyzing such characteristics as the use of multiple screens, the use of fragmentation of the screen to achieve a Cinerama effect and a kaleidoscopic or geometrical effect and the use of the top three screens to reinforce what is shown on the screens below. Next, the commentator describes the exhibit Five Plus One, which uses six slide projectors. He describes the room, its lighting and shape, and the images shown. Examples of the images he describes include railway cars bearing the Canadian Pacific logo, a flower, a nose, various hotels, people working in hotels, glass beakers containing chemicals, a Cominco sigh, Elephant brand fertilizer, a Cominco silver refinery and a Canadian Pacific airplane. He also discusses specific effects. Finally, he describes what he sees in a film about the polar regions and how humans interact with the regions. Examples include two screens showing icefields filmed from a plane, six screens showing snow fields, a pilot looking out, more aerial views, and three screens showing people at activities such as a church service. He also comments on specific effects in the film and what he thinks they mean, such as transitions from one scene to another.
