FILMS BY YOUNG FILMMAKERS. The five films described below are part of a group of some 60 films made by teen-agers in various sections—chiefly slum areas—of New York City. A few years ago, filmmaking clubs were set up in storefront workshops as part of a neighborhood betterment experiment. The idea was to show young people how to communicate in a new medium and how to work together constructively. The teen-agers were given instruction in using cameras and editing film, but they were encouraged to devise their own plots, write the scripts, cast and direct their friends as actors, and shoot and edit their films
