An Evening with Sami Van Ingen
Carson Lund @ Are the Hills Going to March Off?
- Excerpt: It’s obvious that [Sami] van Ingen’s an eclectic filmmaker capable of working expressively with a number of experimental approaches. Cambridge-based avant-garde group Balagan’s recent program likely only scratches the surface of an oeuvre that hopefully contains further variations on the disparate textures, structures, and meditations presented here.

Fantasies of Restoring Order: On China Gate and The Ugly American
Carson Lund @ Are the Hills Going to March Off?
- Excerpt: In the context of Hollywood Vietnam War films, Samuel Fuller’s China Gate (1957) and George Englund’s The Ugly American (1963) represent two distinct poles: the former is a B-movie less concerned with social and political statements than with melodrama and spectacle while the latter purports to be an important, liberal-minded Big Statement movie about the political involvement of the United States in Southeast Asian affairs.
