Canadian Masculinity in the NFB’s Second World War Series “Canada Carries On” MICHAEL BRENDAN BAKER It is widely accepted, and rightfully so, that the prestige of Canada’s docu- mentary tradition is wedded to the success of its Second World War–era film series, Canada Carries On. John Grierson, founding commissioner of the National Film Board of Canada, and Stuart Legg, the executive producer of the series (and a British documentarian who had worked with Grierson at the General Post Office Film Unit during the 1930s), shaped Canada Carries On in such a way that it became the signpost for Canadian documentaries of the war and immediate postwar eras.

  • Becoming Ideal Canadians: the Cultural Adjustment and Citizenship Trials of British War Brides
    BECOMING IDEAL CANADIANS: THE CULTURAL ADJUSTMENT AND CITIZENSHIP TRIALS OF BRITISH WAR BRIDES BECOMING IDEAL CANADIANS: THE CULTURAL ADJUSTMENT AND CITIZENSHIP TRIALS OF BRITISH WAR BRIDES By CHELSEA V. BARRANGER, B.A. (Hons), M.A. A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © by Chelsea V. Barranger, 2019 TITLE: Becoming Ideal Canadians: The Cultural Adjustment and Citizenship Trials of British War Brides AUTHOR: Chelsea V. Barranger, B.A. Hons (University of Western Ontario), M.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVSIOR: Dr. Ruth Frager NUMBER OF PAGES: 390 ii LAY ABSTRACT Most historical work about British war brides has been overly nostalgic and focussed on the collection and creation of interview anthologies; often created by these women and their children. Discussions of life in Canada and negative experiences are only briefly mentioned. This dissertation argues that this nostalgic view of war brides in the historical literature hides the immigration, settlement, and citizenship challenges faced by these women in Canada during and after the Second World War. The different experiences of these women reveal biases towards their background and gender, relationships damaged by the trauma of war, bureaucratic incompetence in the immigration and citizenship process, and raises important questions about national belonging and the nature of Canadian citizenship, from the post-war period to the present. iii ABSTRACT Historical work on British war brides has been limited to the creation and collection of nostalgic interview anthologies; often by the women themselves or their children. These anthologies focus on the meeting of Canadian servicemen and British women and the women’s journey to and reunion with their husbands in Canada.

  • The Film-Work of Norman Mclaren in the Context of His Objectives
    The Film-Work Norman McLaren Terence Dobson A thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Canterbury University of Canterbury 1994 Contents page Abstract iii List of Illustrations iv Preface v Introduction vii Part One Chapter One An Informative Drawing 1 Chapter Two The Early Years 23 Chapter Three McLaren at the G PO Film Unit 57 Part Two Chapter Four New York Interlude 103 Chapter Five Canada 128 Part Three Chapter Six Technical Processes 170 Chapter Seven Confluence and Conflict in Synchromy 197 Chapter Eight Venus and Mars 218 Conclusion 237 Chronology 248 Bibliography 249 Interviews, Films and Recordings 281 ill Abstract This thesis examines the film-work of Norman Mclaren in the context of his objectives. The thesis is divided into three parts, based on chronological divisions in McLaren's life. The first part deals with McLaren's formative years in Scotland and England and examines his early exposure to the social, artistic and institutional influences that were to shape his filmic output. The second part deals with Mclaren's maturation in the USA and Canada. His reaction to the contrasting working environment he found in each of the two countries is examined. In order to show McLaren's development more clearly, both parts one and two are based on a chronological sequencing. The third part of the thesis examines specific issues in relation to Mclaren and his work and as such is concerned principally with his mature output. McLaren's films contain incongruities, conflicts and apparent inconsistencies.

  • John Weinzweig and the Canadian Mediascape, 1941-1948
    John Weinzweig and the Canadian Mediascape, 1941-1948 by Erin Elizabeth Scheffer A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Erin Elizabeth Scheffer 2019 John Weinzweig and the Canadian Mediascape Erin Elizabeth Scheffer Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto 2019 Abstract This dissertation explores John Weinzweig’s incidental music for radio and film and its context in Canadian cultural life. Between 1941 and 1948, Weinzweig composed music for nearly one hundred CBC radio docudrama episodes and for four National Film Board documentaries. Weinzweig’s time at the CBC and NFB was his first large scale success as a working composer, following his graduate studies at the Eastman School of Music. Weinzweig’s incidental music was publicly broadcast across Canada, and can be interpreted in light of how it represents Canada during an anxious and difficult yet significant time in the nation’s history through the Second World War and the immediate post-war era. These works, featuring new music broadcast by organizations in their infancy, helped to shape audience perceptions of a rapidly changing country. I begin by situating Weinzweig’s documentary music both temporally and philosophically. The opening chapter explores his biography, the musical context of the 1940s in Canada, and the creation of the CBC and NFB, and it closes by discussing significant themes in the works: indigeneity, northernness, dominion over the landscape, and nation and national affect. The subsequent three chapters divide Weinzweig’s docudramas and documentaries by topic: World War Two propaganda and postwar reconstruction, Canada’s north, and finally a discussion of Weinzweig’s only radio drama The Great Flood , which premiered on CBC’s ii cultural program Wednesday Night in 1948.

The archive has struggled to process their backlog due to a strain on resources—an issue that is prevalent in the archival profession, and particularly in small institutions. The objective was to apply broad principles from Mark A. Greene and Dennis Meissner’s 2005 paper “More Product, Less Process: Revamping Traditional Archival Processing,” aimed at large paper and manuscript collections, to managing backlog at the Pacific Cinematheque Archive in order to help establish a minimal processing workflow that would allow for faster access to materials in the future.

National Film Board of Canada The National Film Board of Canada has. through its films, achieved a world-wide influence, and its uniqueness lies in its administrative structure and its place in the Canadian Government which has enabled it to survive while similar organizations in other countries have succumbed to political and film industry pressures. This study offers a critical assessment of the reasons for the Board's success. with a view to formulating very general principleS as to how a film board might be run successfully. The success of a film board is related to the formal structure of the board. National predisOosition, though unmeasurable. is important. It is essential that the government be a social democracy. and that the commercial film industry not be too powerful.
