  • Cornelius Cardew's Music for Moving Images
    Cornelius Cardew’s Music for Moving Images: Some Preliminary Observations Clemens Gresser Some initial thoughts Whereas Cardew’s autonomous music (especially within a modernist or more experimental framework) has received some attention, his music for moving images and for radio has been little discussed to date.1 Such applied music seems to fit none of what could be seen as the four core areas of Cardew’s musical activity: 1. his modernist and avant-garde music (all his works before starting his early experiments with the Scratch Orchestra),2 2. his experimental and improvisational music (Scratch Orchestra, AMM), 3. his overtly political and tonal music (mainly songs, and often performed by PLM3 or the Songs for Our Society Group), or 4. his programmatic, indirectly political music (mostly piano music, such as Thälmann Variations).4 However, film and radio music might also feature (or can have traces of) any of the approaches found in other areas of his oeuvre. This research was supported by a three-month British Library Research Break (an annual scheme for BL staff). I am extremely grateful to my former colleagues in Music Collections, and particularly to Nicolas Bell and Sandra Tuppen, for allowing me to have access to uncatalogued material and generally answering all my questions; to Trish Hayes (BBC Written Archives), for helping me with BBC archival materials; and to Susan Reed for not interrupting my research work with queries relating to my previous library position. 1 John Tilbury, Cornelius Cardew (1936-1981): A Life Unfinished (Matching Tye, Essex, 2008), and Eddie Prévost (ed.), Cornelius Cardew: A Reader.

  • MOTION PICTURE PRODUCTION in BRITISH COLUMBIA, 1941-1965 by Dennis J
    MOTION PICTURE PRODUCTION IN BRITISH COLUMBIA, 1941-1965 by Dennis J. Duffy Present-day film production in British Columbia has attracted a lot of attention. Local filmmaking is not a new phenomenon, however, but the continuation of an activity which has gone on in the province since the early part of this century. The west coast has had an eventful filmmaking heritage -- perhaps more so than any other English-speaking region in Canada. This heritage has been largely ignored until recent years, when the revitalization of the Canadian film industry has sparked interest in our new cinema and in its historical precedents. The early development of filmmaking in British Columbia took place largely in isolation from the rest of Canada. Cameramen first came to film the province for the sake of its novel and photogenic landscapes, and to promote immigration and tourism.1 The first incursion of Hollywood film crews, in the 1920s, was also drawn primarily by the varied scenery available for outdoor adventure pictures. In the 1930s, they set up a branch plant here and made features of dubious quality, taking advantage of Canada's membership in the British Empire to exploit the British quota restriction on imported films. Meanwhile, domestic film production developed separately, usually growing from existing photographic or advertising concerns. British Columbia's first locally- based commercial cinematographer was A.D. "Cowboy" Kean, who got his start in movies filming the Vancouver Exhibition and the departure of troops for Europe during Copyright © 1986 by Dennis J. Duffy. This essay originally appeared in Camera West: British Columbia on Film, 1941-1965 (Victoria: Provincial Archives of British Columbia, 1986).

    MoMA PRESENTS ALLAN KING FILM RETROSPECTIVE Filmmaker to Introduce Three-Week Series of Fiction and NonFiction Work, Which Includes Warrendale, A Married Couple, and a Week-Long Run of Dying at Grace Allan King May 9–31, 2007 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters NEW YORK, April 24, 2007—The Museum of Modern Art presents a comprehensive retrospective of Canadian filmmaker Allan King in a 22-film, 50-year survey of his fiction and nonfiction work. Allan King, presented May 9 through May 31, 2007, in The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters, includes such seminal work as Warrendale (1966) and A Married Couple (1969). The series culminates with Dying at Grace (2003), King’s quiet observation about the end of life, which is presented for a weeklong run, May 23 to 28. The filmmaker will be in attendance to introduce the opening night screening of Warrendale on Wednesday, May 9. Allan King is organized by Laurence Kardish, Senior Curator, Department of Film, The Museum of Modern Art, with the support of Telefilm Canada and the Canadian Consulate General in New York. Allan King (Canadian, b.1930) has made some of cinema’s most moving and humane documentaries—including Warrendale, which looked at the then-experimental treatment of emotionally disturbed children, and A Married Couple, which focuses on the collapse of a marriage—and he has been a major influence on nonfiction filmmaking. King studied philosophy at the University of British Columbia. After working with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in Vancouver in the mid-1950s, where he was involved in Skidrow (1957), he pioneered a documentary style in which subjects spoke directly to the camera.
