Film not only is an experiential process and a physical substance generating a complex physical system in the midst of a commercial culture, but it also gathers to itself on-going developments in impressionism and cubism, melodrama and mechanics, opera and the pulp novel, and other artifacts of the popular culture. Film is also a means of communicating and a tool to use in understanding man. It is, therefore, the responsibility of librarians to recognize film as a new addition to the media repertoire of mankind and to become leaders in mankind's movement from literacy to mediacy. (RB)
