I am trying to find info on a film I saw in undergraduate studies in anthropology, centuries ago. Not specific info on that film, but info I can look up.
The film showed some middle eastern town, way back when, that was built to utilize water, warm/cold, through the window shades, and they actually had some special cannals constructed where they could make ice.
I never forgot it and am determined now, centuries later (25 years, live 2500 miles away from the school) to find this information.
Any ideas? Earnest and hopeful, Meg Jones @nourse@sonic.net.
Thank you.
