Every finished film is now in the screening room: thirty of them, from twenty seconds to two minutes, about half an hour in all. Each has a page of its own, and each has captions.
Fourteen are The American Works, the campaign that is showing now. Its six movements each have a room, where one building is seen twice: as it meets the sky, and as the world it keeps inside. Walk the six.
Fifteen come from an earlier season: Cooper’s Mill, a serial about one invented town, and Check the Number, which takes one number at a time. They are shown as they were made, in the voice we used then. Beside each film the page says what it is, who is speaking now, and where its numbers come from. See the campaigns.
Two of those films say something that is no longer exact. The end cards of the last two episodes of Cooper’s Mill say every item on the list exists somewhere in America. Six do, and the seventh has begun in New Jersey. The films were not changed. The note stands beside them, and on the receipts.
Every film is set to the same loudness, so a film of music and a film of one voice can follow each other without a hand on the volume.
