Synopsis
Clairtone
Canadian electronics company Clairtone finds a successful niche producing high-end modernist stereo systems before succumbing to hard economic realities.
The Seafarers
Stanley Kubrick’s first color film, commissioned by the Seafarers International Union to promote the benefits of union membership. Shot inside the union’s Atlantic and Gulf Coast District facilities, it features scenes of ships, machinery, cafeteria life, and meetings, highlighting the daily routines and camaraderie of seafarers. Thought lost for decades, the film was rediscovered in 1973 and preserved by the Library of Congress.
