and Screening of

GRASS

 

a film by:
Ernest B. Schoedsack and Marian C. Cooper

Grass was made among the Bakhtyari tribe of South-West Iran, in 1925. The film is a vivid record of the almost insurmountable difficulties that faced the tribe when they migrated twice yearly in their trek for grass. The manner in which this band of half a million men, women, and children surmounted the snow-covered mountain range, and forded the roaring torrent that barred their way, is very suspenseful and extraordinary.
