Description: The sale of Christmas tags is the basis for the establishment and operation of the Christmas tag homes around Denmark. The purpose of the homes is to house and help vulnerable and particularly needy children. Many of the Christmas tag children come from the big cities. Funds may be tight here, and the children may be left to fend for themselves and life in the wretched backyards. At the Christmas mark homes, they can receive care, fresh air and get back to work after illness. The film follows daily life at the various Christmas mark homes in Denmark: Lindersvold in Faxe, the Mørkøv home in Northwest Zealand, Fjordmark by Flensborg Fjord, Holbølls Minde by Svendborg, the Hobro home by Mariager Fjord and the Christmas mark home in Juelsminde.
Several of the recordings can also be seen in the film 'The Christmas Tag Film' from 1949.

La donna nel mondo

SC 9.1/10 

Year: 1963
Country: Italy
Section: documentary
Tags: girl
Description: "The camera strips woman right down to her skin," proclaimed the ads,"...lays bare the secrets of her mind and body!" Using outtakes from MONDO CANE as their foundation, Directors Gualtiero Jacopetti, Paolo Cavara and Franco Prosperi created this leering yet lyrical study of women's roles in the international culture of the bizarre. Here is the female of the species as mothers, murderers, warriors and whores, respected as high-powered executives and objectified as bodacious bombshells, grasping for eternal beauty and even engaging in "unnatural friendships." From love in the streets of Paris to death on the African plain, the MONDO masters turn their unflinching eye on all the things never before known - and never before shown - about WOMEN OF THE WORLD.

Andere Tijden Special: De Andere Jaren Vijftig

SC 8.5/10 

Date: 27.09.2008
Country: Netherlands
Section: documentary
Tags: boy, girl, swimming
Description: Almost an hour of color film about the 1950s, a period that we only knew in black and white until now. Flower parades, Juliana and Bernhard with Maroons, lunch boxes on the luggage carrier, smoking children and the festive entrance of the Philips sun: these are just a few of the color fragments that change our view of the 1950s forever. The broadcast 'The other fifties' gives a unique picture of a decade that was boring, austere and basic, but actually not too bad in color.
