John Abraham was born in Changanassery in 1937. He completed his studies in Kottayam staying with his grandfather. It was him who nurtured John's talent in early days. After completing his degree in economics from Marthoma College, Thiruvalla, he worked as an insurance agent in Bellary. After that he joined the FTII, Pune and was trained by Ritwik Ghatak. John graduated out of the FTII with gold medals in screenwriting and film direction. He entered the film industry working as anassistant director to Mani Kaul for the film Uski Roti (1969, Hindi). He was worked for some Hindi projects that was shot in Kerala, but none were released. John's first attempt in direction came in 1967 named Vidhyarthikale Ithile . It was the Tamil film Agraharathil Kazhuthai (1977) that rose John to fame. Considered an avant-garde film director and writer, he made only four films, namely Vidyarthikale Ithile Ithile(1972), Agraharathil Kazhuthai (1977, Tamil), Cheriachante Krurakrithyangal (1979) and Amma Ariyan (1986) all four written and directed by him.

Djibril Diop Mambéty's earliest film, a short entitled Contras City (1968), highlighted the contrasts of cosmopolitanism and unrestrained ostentation in Dakar's baroque architecture against the modest, everyday lives of the Senegalese. Mambéty's recurrent theme of hybridity—the blending of elements from precolonial Africa and the colonial West in a neocolonial African context—is already evident in Contras City, which is considered Africa's first comedy film.

White Calligraphy (Taka Iimura, 1967, 11 min, Japan, Silent, Black & White, 16mm ) нет на КП
“In White Calligraphy, Re-Read, Takahiko Iimura returns to his early work. White Calligraphy which he originally made in 1967 by scratching characters from ‘Kojiki’, an early Japanese text, into the frames of 16mm black leader. In this re-reading of the illegible work, the film is slowed down and briefly arrested at random using digital processing while suddenly legible words are voiced by the artist in an accompanying soundtrack. Part translation (not only between Japanese and English but between media languages) part abstract interplay of picture sound and word.
This new work developed out of Iimura’s performance practice that has over the years, beginning with works associated with Fluxus and moving into his notion of Video Semiology, radically explored the signifying systems of meaning in moving image making.” — Dr. Duncan White (University of Arts, London)
“Recent years I have used this calligraphy film in super 8mm for my film performance, which is suitable for slow speed and freeze frame projection. With these devices, audience is easier to read the characters, and to understand a few fragments of the story. Even for non-Japanese audience, suddenly it reveals some “meaning” because of the iconographic character of “Kanji” (Chinese character) other than abstract lines. At my last performances of White Calligraphy in London, and Paris (2003), besides using of above devices I uttered loudly the character at freeze frame thus it gave sounds in this silent performance. It really changed a whole aspect of the performance giving another dimension with the voice. Then in 2005, in Tokyo, I tried to draw the characters on the wall while projecting transferring the text back to the writing.” — T I
