NATIONAL FILM BOARD of CANADA FEATURED at Moma
The Museum off Modern Art 50th Anniversary NO. 16 ID FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 3, 1981 DOCUMENTARY FILMS FROM THE NATIONAL FILM BOARD OF CANADA FEATURED AT MoMA NATIONAL FILM BOARD OF CANADA: A RETROSPECTIVE is a three-part tribute presented by The Museum of Modern Art in recog nition of NFBC's 41 years Of exceptional filmmaking. PART TWO: DOCUMENTARY FILMS, running from March 26 through May 12 in the Museum's Roy and Niuta Titus Auditorium, will trace the develop ment of the documentary form at NFBC, and will be highlighted by a selection of some of the finest films directed by Donald Brittain, whose work has won wide acclaim and numerous awards. PART TWO: DOCUMENTARY will get off to an auspicious start with twelve of Donald Brittain's powerful and unconventional portraits of exceptional individuals. Best known in this country for "Volcano: An Inquiry Into The Life and Death of Malcolm Lowry" (1976), Brittain brings his personal stamp of creative interpretation to such subjects as America's love affair with the automobile in "Henry Ford's America" (1976) ; the flamboyant Lord Thompson of Fleet Street (the newspaper baron who just sold the cornerstone of his empire, The London Times) in "Never A Backward Step" (1966); Norman Bethune, the Canadian poet/ doctor/revolutionary who became a great hero in China when he marched with Mao ("Bethune" 1964); and the phenomenal media hysteria sur rounding the famous quintuplets in "The Diorme Years" (1979) . "Memo randum" (1965) accompanies a Jewish glazier from Tcronto when he takes his son back to the concentration camp where he was interned, an emotion al and historical pilgrimage of strong impact and sensitivity. -
History of Intellectual Culture Counter-Hegemonic Discourse On
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Calgary Journal Hosting History of Intellectual Culture www.ucalgary.ca/hic/ · ISSN 1492-7810 2001 Counter-Hegemonic Discourse on the Working Class in National Film Board World War II Films Malek Khouri Abstract For a long time, fi lms produced by the National Film Board of Canada immediately after its establishment and up until the end World War II have been greatly neglected or simply dismissed as examples of Canadian war propaganda. These fi lms represent an essentially counter-hegemonic outlook on the role of the working class in Canadian society. In this context, these fi lms informed and were informed by the discourse of the Popular Front, an umbrella formation which at the time was initiated and led by supporters of the Communist Party of Canada, both inside and outside the labour movement. This paper brings to light an investigation and analysis of a wealth of archival fi lm material from the initial years of the NFB, much of which either have been long for- gotten or were, in fact, never really known. Against several earlier and unsubstantiated scholarly assumptions, this study delineates the ideological signifi cance of the NFB’s depiction of workers during this critical period in Canadian history. Introduction The establishment of the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) in 1939 ushered in a critical phase in the history of Canadian cinema’s depiction of working class people. In contrast to the fi lms earlier produced by provincial -

Agnès Varda Presentar una obra és sempre una alegria per al seu autor. Finalitzar un projecte, que com aquest ha suposat un considerable esforç, comporta una gran satisfacció. Una satisfacció que es veurà augmentada si s’aconsegueix l’objectiu perseguit: que aquestes pàgines siguin útils a tots aquells professors i professores que emprenen diàriament projectes d’educació en comunicació, que entenen que l’educació en mitjans és un dels grans reptes socials d’aquests primers anys del segle. L’objectiu principal d’aquesta obra ha estat el d’investigar la percepció que, des de les aules, es té del cinema documental ⎯ aules de secundària obligatòria, de batxillerat, d’educació d’adults, d’educació no formal...⎯ per bastir, a continuació, una proposta de model de treball, d’anàlisi i d’aprofitament d’aquesta modalitat cinematogràfica i televisiva que tants ponts de contacte pot establir amb el dia a dia dels centres d’ensenyament. La gran motivació que m’ha esperonat per emprendre aquesta aventura de recerca ha estat la constatació que, en els darrers temps, els projectes d’aula d’educació en comunicació basats en l’aprofundiment i en l’anàlisi dels productes mediàtics tenen un nivell d’eficàcia educativa i d’atractiu per l’alumnat absolutament insòlit. -

I went to school in Calgary and then I went 2 year’s school in Vancouver Island and then I came back and went for two more years in Calgary, and then I went down to London, Ontario, to University for a year because my grandmother lived down there and every summer we used to go down and stay with her, she had a farm outside Calgary, outside London Ontario. Then I went back and I hadn’t the faintest idea what I would do, back to Calvary, and I was obviously very difficult because I thought I would perhaps like to perhaps fly planes, this was now the beginning of the war and women were flying transport planes in the States and I thought this would be great, so I took the test, stood on one leg and held my breath and passed it and I said "Oh, now I can fly. -
