The motion picture has been validated as the art form of the century. The long neglected issue of film preservatfon has been finally giver1 some acceptance (though we all know more work is needed). However, your recent statement, 'Preservation Without Access is Pointless' was a true eye opener. As you know. I am a major film buff. It amazes me to think that so many of the works which I had assumed were 'lost' either by negligence or indifference were in fact sitting in vaults, properly preserved - at the expense of, well -- a of us. This should be good news. But. it is very bad news when we realize that the original owners, (many of whom are 'lost' themselves or could care less) still have the final say as to when or even if these films will ever be made available to the It seems clear enough. If the public has to bear the expense or preserving these films, many of whfch are in the public domain or will soon be. shouldn't the public be given an opportunity to have reasonable access to them? Since the original owners have in effect abandoned these works, then shouldn't entrepreneurial types, who are willrng to bear the expense, have these materials made available in order to release these tltles, especially to video7 The issue seems bogged down by laws which were created before the realities of the electronic revolution.

  • 5. David Hanley – Conceptualizing Quebec Cinema
    Conceptualizing Quebec National Cinema: Denys Arcand’s Cycle of Post-Referendum Films as Case Study By David Hanley ver the past half century, Quebec cinema has grown from small beginnings into an industry that regularly produces feature films that win critical Orecognition and festival prizes around the globe. At the same time, it is one of the few places in the world where local products can occasionally outdraw Hollywood blockbusters at the box office. This essay analyzes the Quebec film industry, examines what types of films it produces and for what audiences, and explores the different ways domestic and international audiences understand its films. The pioneer figure in introducing Quebec cinema to mainstream audiences beyond the province is writer- director Denys Arcand. His cycle of films dealing with the failure of his generation to achieve independence for Quebec offers both a paradigm of a type of film newly important to the Quebec industry, and a case study in explaining how and why certain films cross borders into foreign markets. Of particular interest in this essay are Arcand’s Le déclin de l’empire américain (1986), Jésus de Montréal (1989) and Les invasions barbares (2003), all of which had successful commercial releases in international markets, including the United States, a rare occurrence for a Quebec film. One reason this international popularity is of interest is that the films’ politics, central to their narratives, were and are controversial in Quebec. However, this political aspect is largely invisible to non-Quebec audiences, who appreciate the films for their other qualities, a tendency that can be seen in a handful of recent Quebec films that have also received international commercial distribution.

  • 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.

  • Robin Spry :A %
    breaking by Joan Irving loose robin spry :A %_# A full five months after its critical success at the Cannes Film Festival, One Man has yet to move itself through the heavy bureau­ cracy at the National Film Boafw of Canada and into the waiting arms of a distributor. Meanwhile, Robin Spry, its director, has seen the film play in France and Australia, in Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto. And al­ ways in film festivals. He talks with Joan Irving. I don't imagine I have to introduce Robin Spry or his films them elsewhere. But I'd like to stay at the Board. My ideal to readers of Cinema Canada. Though it probably is true existence would be to stay there and continue to make low that his work is more highly critically esteemed outside of budget socially oriented feature films.
