I have a teacher looking for a video called "Up Is Down" narrated by Hans Conreid.
(description follows). I can't find this anywhere and was wondering if any of you
could help.
Inspired by June Brindel's children's short story "Luap", designer-writer-director
Millie Goldsholl's Up Is Down tells the story of a boy who walks with his hands
with the result being his visualizing everything in a more sunny, optimistic view
than the more coldly and cynically detached one of many of the adults that surround
him trying to change him into their viewpoints by using all the experiments at
their disposal. The abstract animation of the humans mixes with various
fast-cutting of various photos that illustrate many of the turbulent events that
illustrated the era this film was made in. Included in those pictures is one of the
late Martin Luther King, Jr, who is dedicated in memory of in this provocative
short. Along with the compelling narration of Hans Conried was the childlike music
of Dick Boyell that made Up Is Down quite a statement of how polarizing opposite
viewpoints can truly be and how one needs to find some middle ground to truly make
things balance out. Produced by Millie's husband, Morton Goldsholl, Up Is Down is
well worth seeing for animation buffs and those who agree with the message this
short is sending.
Thanks!
