Satellites of the Sun

Sidney Goldsmith

Film animation and a knowledge of outer space bring to the screen this spectacular, awe-inspiring view of our solar system. Staggering distances are eliminated through the art of film: before our eyes is displayed the wonder of the universe. Moon, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Venus, Earth and all the other satellites and lesser matter in space are seen in amazing detail and perspective in their eternal orbits around the sun.

4 Songs by the 4 Gentlemen

Lyle Enright, Sidney Goldsmith

A sing-song film, with the popular Four Gentlemen Quartet leading in four old favorites: Camptown Races, Bury Me Out on the Lone Prairie, Grandfather's Clock and Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay.

The Day Off

Sidney Goldsmith

A day off allows us a break from routine existence, but it also prepares us for re-entering the workaday world. In this animated film, people relaxing on a beach are constantly being reminded of tragic events happening elsewhere. By the end of the day they are able to return to the real world and continue to "function."

Harness the Wind

Sidney Goldsmith

Michael Kane

The wind is one of the strongest natural forces around us. Because it is generated by temperature differences in air masses, wind power is, in fact, a form of solar energy. Harness the Wind traces the history of attempts to control and use wind energy, and projects into the future to visualize the potential of wind-power technology.
