The First Story is the first film in a trilogy of "westerns." Here the central idea is Power in its various forms, especially as seen overland in the quintessential American West: the big rigs on I 90 and the freight trains crossing Wyoming. It is the contrast of these machines to the broad landscape and animal life that digs at this mythological space and questions what other meanings might be created.
A Western drama about two brothers who are in love with the same girl. When one of them wrongly thinks she has chosen for the other, he leaves for Mexico.

“Burlesqueing western conventions, this film has silent movie titles and music and a posse of shetland ponies. A gumnut satire of Westerns with a fine eye for the absurd.” (The Australian Filmmakers Co-operatives Catalogue of Independent Film)
"Saturday Night Square Dance" was released in 1949 as a Soundie. Featured here are Jim Boyd and His Men of the West. Jim Boyd was the brother of Bill Boyd, well known for western swing music, and this film combines some western swing music with calls. The footage shows some fine examples, like the styling sometimes called the Abilene Lift.
