TWO very exciting Vandercar discoveries: The following FILM Must be located and obtained by us all!: KEEP reading! I think you can actually order it HERE!!!! for about $40 on VHS..... http://www.floridamemory.com/PhotographicCollection/refpricelist.cfm (I found out about it at THIS site:) Photo Collection Home Page Filming Florida: Images of the Sunshine State Welcome to the Florida State Archives film and video collection. The films and video tapes listed in this guide were donated to the Florida State Archives by a variety of individuals and organizations. They date from 1917 to the 1980s, and have been transferred to 3/4"SP master tapes. The majority of the films were produced by the Florida Development Commission, which later became the Florida Department of Commerce. This unique collection is an extraordinary resource, and a whole lot of fun. The films were intended to help develop Florida, to boost the economy, to gain attention in national and global marketplaces. They show us Florida as it was and sometimes, admittedly, as the promoters wanted us to see it. Through the monumental distribution efforts of the Florida Development Commission people everywhere saw Florida as a place of unlimited fishing, ample free parking, zany attractions, glorious beaches, and economic opportunities that flowed like orange juice. The Florida State Archives conducted a project under provisions of the Library Services and Construction Act (Public Law 98-480) to transfer these original 16mm films to video and make them available once again to the general public, historians, and researchers. http://www.floridamemory.com/PhotographicCollection/filmguide.cfm
A film about artist Lou Van Dercar. An on-camera host, with microphone in hand, interviews Van Dercar at work in his home/studio. He produced "modern-style" paintings, impressionistic and imitative of Dali and Picasso and Pollock. His sculpture is in different mixes of concrete with many Tiki-god or Easter Islands-type heads popular as decor in Polynesian restaurants. Produced by FDC. Exciting Discovery #2 Could it be that the following Close Encounter sighting subject from the U.S. Government's Top Secret project blue book is none other than one and the same incredible occult artist and magus we so adore?
