Passionate Pastime (1958) Running time: 28 minutes

28 min. Director: Hans Richter; narrated by Vincent Price; original score by Darius Milhaud.

Outlines the history of chess from ancient times to the present and traces its origins in India, China, and Persia. Prints, painting, illuminated manuscripts, live photography and rare chess pieces are shown as well as chess figures designed after Picasso and Braque.

Masters of Disaster (1985)

30 min. Director: Sonya Friedman.

The story of an inner-city teacher, Bob Cotter, and eight Black elementary school children who challenged some skeptical observers by organizing a chess team and going on to win a national championship. Called the "Masters of Disaster", a label they adopted during their early struggles, the team is shown at practice, in school, in competition, on a trip to Japan, and during a visit with the President of the United States.
