Guided and Miss Guided
Could you sit down hard on a glacier eighty feet thick - and smile? The sweet young mountain climber in this picture has her own methods for getting up on jagged crags and towering peaks.

The girl was a young tourist lady who buys a sweet mountaineering costume, hires two Swiss guides, and embarks on an ascension to Mount Assiniboine.

Captain Elliot's Circle
Equal parts documentary, essay, and narrative,"Captain Elliot's Circle" is mostly a poetic interaction with an obscure corner of Chinese and British history. Constructed using primary source documents about the taking of Zhoushan, Britain's first choice for a seaport, in the late 1830s,this movie uses Captain Charles Elliot's reluctance to brutalize the Chinese to reflect on the cyclical nature of history and the power structures that move it. The long takes used throughout function to illustrate the dramatically different ways in which people who lived in the mid-19th century perceived time. Additionally, it represents the psychological effect of living on an island regardless of what era you were born in.The last third of the movie focuses on a young woman whose strange day job has taken her far away from the island of Zhoushan generations after Captain Charles Elliot was last there. "Captain Elliot's Circle" was shot on location in Zhoushan and Hangzhou.

Gemmi Pass and Oeschinen Lake
Tourists leaving the Bear Hotel, Kandersteg, to cross the Gemmi. Many ladies of the party are seen mounting the hardy ponies at the hotel front, and, as some of the ponies are frisky, this portion of the picture is a brisk one. Then we have a line portrayal of a crowd of lady climbers leaving on foot with alpenstocks, and oxen with luncheon baskets make up the rear portion of this interesting cavalcade. The party, crossing a rustic bridge that spans a mountain torrent, ate next seen negotiating the pass - ladies, men, and ponies all clambering over and amongst the huge boulders- on the journey to Oeschinen lake, and their arrival there is excellently rendered. Dismounting and entering boats and rowing in successive boat loads out on the azure waters of the Oeschinen, the picture here secured is as charming as anything that has ever been secured by the cinematographer. The return of the party and the landing brings to an appropriate conclusion...
