We’re cranking up the Elmo 16CL projector for another round of obscure 16mm rarities, this time all from the late 1940s through the early 1960s with a slate of social engineering films designed to create model citizens and healthy adults. From strangers with candy to high school dropouts, to puberty’s pitfalls and civic responsibility, these largely forgotten gems are laughably out-of-date and teeming with an antiquated morality you can only find in yesteryear. Films include The Dangerous Stranger (1949) the stranger danger film that started it all from the king of the scare film Sid Davis, The Dropout (1962) for the ne’er-do-wells, Molly Grows Up (1953) menstrutainment at its finest, The Meaning of Adolescence (1953) to guide you through those awkward years, Responsibility (1953) from Herk Harvey – the director of Carnival of Souls, and the incredibly rare NFBC global responsibility primer Our Town and The World  (1950s, Canada), plus more celluloid rarities and a surprise pre-show for the early birds! Everything screened on 16mm film.
