Moma PRESENTS ALLAN KING FILM RETROSPECTIVE Filmmaker to Introduce Three-Week Series of Fiction and Nonfiction Work, Which Inclu 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. After some time travelling as an independent filmmaker, King moved to London in 1961, where he made a number of documentary films, before returning to Canada, where he varied his output between fiction and nonfiction work. King remains an active filmmaker and has completed three features over the past four years, including his most recent, Empz 4 Life (2006), a documentary about at-risk youths in the suburbs of Toronto. He has perfected a style that is at once straightforward and nuanced, allowing his subjects to retain their dignity while revealing their pain, confusion, and joys. King made his first dramatic feature film, Who Has Seen the Wind, in 1976, followed by a filmed version of Carol Bolt’s celebrated play One Night Stand (1978). He also directed Colleen Dewhurst in her last starring role in Termini Station (1990). King’s career is marked with a wide range of awards, including an honorary doctorate and a lifetime achievement award in Canadian cinema. Warrendale won the Prix d'art et d'essai at Cannes in 1967, as well as the British Academy of Film and Television and New York Critics’ Awards. Later this year Allan King Films Limited will release a DVD collection of his films to commemorate the director’s half-century of filmmaking. The exhibition has been made possible with the assistance of Nick Hector, Michael MacMillan Deluxe Post-Production, Queen’s University, Telefilm Canada, Library and Archives Canada, Planet3 Communications, and The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

Warrendale was one of the earliest facilities in which emotionally disturbed children were treated in a familial setting. Outbursts of feeling were encouraged. This nonjudgmental, narration-free “actuality-drama” about this once experimental mode of helping young people in psychological turmoil was commissioned by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, whose executives refused to air it at the time. Warrendale opened to great critical acclaim in New York theaters, and Penelope Gilliatt wrote in The New Yorker, “It is a wonderful movie, extending a charity to aberration and distress like no other of its sort I have ever seen.” 100 min. 8:15 Empz 4 Life. 2006. Canada. The summer of 2005 was known as a particularly violent time in poor suburban neighborhoods around Toronto, and black youths were particularly at risk. King follows two community activists, Brian Henry and John Mighton, as they try to convince angry and skeptical young men to get off the streets and back into the educational system. King tracks the teenagers as they cope with both their families and constant police surveillance and harassment. 113 min. Thursday, May 10 6:00 A Married Couple. 1969. Canada. Exquisitely painful and mordantly funny, A Married Couple explores the emotional devastation of a modern marriage on the verge of collapse, revealing the profound loneliness at the center of many relationships. The documentary, shaped from seventy hours of unrehearsed footage, is molded into a narrative of remarkable intimacy as it charts the fraying bond between Billy Edwards, an upwardly mobile advertising copywriter, and his wife Antoinette, who craves individuality and fame. Their three-year-old son also appears. 96 min. 8:15 Early Work I: Documentaries: Skid Row. 1956. Canada. In this seminal work, filmed on Vancouver’s skid row during eighteen-hour days, King locates the humanity in vagrants who use alcohol to block out life. King was one of the earliest filmmakers to use direct interview as a central narrative device. 37 min. A Matter of Pride. 1960. Canada. A middle-class man finds himself unemployed, which causes a domestic crisis and emotional distress within his close-knit family. This television film so moved the public that the Canadian Parliament denounced King for subverting government policy. 51 min. Program 88 min. Friday, May 11 6:00 Who Has Seen the Wind. 1977. Canada. Screenplay by Patricia Watson, based on the novel by W. O. Mitchell. With Brian O’Connal, Helen Shaver, Gordon Pinsent, Jose Ferrer. “A sweet, generous reverie of a movie about growing up on the prairies of Saskatchewan during the Depression. It touches on all of the topics obligatory in small-town fiction, including life, death, hypocrisy, bigotry, all as they are observed by one little boy.… [The film has] the effect of an unretouched memoir” (Vincent Canby, The New York Times). 100 min. 8:15 Allan King Abroad: Rickshaw. 1980. India/Canada. A young rickshaw driver in Calcutta takes his first fare, his father, to the train station so that the older man can finally return home to his impoverished village. 27 min. Joshua—A Nigerian Portrait. 1963. Nigeria/Canada. Screenplay and narration by Wole Soyinka. The author’s cousin, a rent collector in Lagos, struggles in the big city and wonders why he left his idyllic village. 57 min. Program 84 min. Saturday, May 12 2:00 War, Its Aftermath, and Repression: Where Will They Go? 1959. Austria/Canada. Twelve years after WWII, refugees from Eastern Europe were still displaced and living, angry and depressed, in Austrian internment camps. King captures their despair. 27 min. Field Day. 1963. USA/Canada. King films the climactic scene from one of the most celebrated productions of New York’s Living Theater, headed by Julian Beck and Judith Molina. Cameraman Richard Leiterman shot the “Field Day” scene from Kenneth Brown’s play The Brig in three takes using a handheld camera. 12 min. Six War Years. 1975. Canada. Screenplay by Norman Klenman, based on the book by Barry Broadfoot. With Blair Brown, Janet Amos, Thomas Hauff. Blending dramatic recreations with stock footage, King elevates oral histories into a lively “docudrama” in which Canadians share very different memories of WWII. 57 min. Program 96 min. 4:30 Come On Children. 1973. Canada. In this film, which King considered one of his favorites, urban teenagers are taken from the city to a farm for ten weeks. Away from adults they discover who they really are. As the film ends, the youngsters return to “real life.” 95 min. 7:00 Termini Station. 1990. Canada. Screenplay by Colleen Murphy. With Colleen Dewhurst, Megan Fellows, Gordon Clapp. In Dewhurst’s last role, which some critics consider her strongest, she portrays an embittered—but still dreaming-of-romance—older woman confined to a bedroom in her estranged son’s house in a small mining town. Years earlier, she had an affair that caused her husband’s suicide and her daughter’s current crisis of identity.

  • 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).
