  • From Chants Populaires to Chansons Contemporaines: Pop, Politics, and Film
    From Chants populaires to Chansons contemporaines: Pop, Politics, and Film By Anthony Kinik This paper amounts to a brief history of the relationship between animation and popular music at the National Film Board of Canada from the early 1940s until the early 1970s. Beginning with the Chants populaires series produced by Norman McLaren in the early 1940s and culminating with the Chansons contemporaines series produced by René Jodoin (McLaren’s protégé and long-time collaborator), these proto-music videos stand out both because of their imaginative and often experimental approach to animation and because of their daring use of song, French-language song. By the 1960s, within the highly charged atmosphere of the Quiet Revolution-era National Film Board, the Chansons contemporaines films were right at the center of the debates and struggles of the times. The best of them—films like Jean-Thomas Bédard’s La Ville—captured this moment with considerable artistry and insight, but, sadly, by 1974 this moment was lost. 1949: Oskar Fischinger, Motion Painting No. 1 1964: Richard Lester, A Hard Day’s Night 1966: D.A. Pennebaker, “Subterranean Homesick Blues,” Don’t Look Back 1967: Peter Goldman, “Strawberry Fields Forever” 1968: Norman McLaren, Pas de Deux [etc.] --Matt Hanson, “Flash Cuts, Whip Pans: A Snapshot History of the Music Video” in Reinventing Music Video (13). Beginning with five films in 1969, the recently created French Animation Unit of the National Film Board of Canada, under the direction of 25-year NFB veteran René Jodoin, debuted a new series of films: Chansons contemporaines. As the title suggests, these films featured contemporary songs written and performed by some of Quebec’s leading chansonniers.
