EFFORTS DE PRODUCTIVITÉ DANS LA FONDERIE JEAN EPSTEIN, RÉTROSPECTIVE ·: DU 20 JANVIER AU 13 FÉVRIER :· Passionné de philosophie, de poésie et de cinéma, Jean Epstein fait partie des premiers véritables théoriciens du cinéma. Son œuvre filmique se situe dans le prolongement de ses écrits. En 1922, il réalise son premier film, Pasteur, puis il enchaîne avec quelques-uns de ses chefs-d’œuvre : Cœur fidèle, La Belle Nivernaise, La Chute de la maison Usher. À partir de 1929, il quitte les studios et tourne plusieurs films sur la côte bretonne, dont l’incomparableFinis Terræ. L’œuvre du cinéaste témoigne d’un réalisme jusque-là inconnu dans le cinéma français et d’une grande modernité d’un point de vue formel. Empreint de poésie, le langage filmique d’Epstein est en quête perpétuelle de renouvellement : « Un art sans avant-garde, c’est-à-dire sans éléments transformateurs, est comme un bâtiment qui ne fait plus que courir sur son erre, un arbre sans sève, un tissu mort qui ne sait plus renouveler ses cellules. » Cette rétrospective regroupant 27 films est la première de cette importance au Canada. Émilie Cauquy de la Cinémathèque française sera à la Cinémathèque, du 20 au 22 janvier, pour présenter quelques films de cette rétrospective unique. En collaboration avec LA CHUTE DE MAISON USHER HANDTINTING JOYCE WIELAND : EXPÉRIMENTATIONS, ART ET POLITIQUE ·: 26 ET 28 JANVIER :· À l’occasion du lancement du coffret DVD consacré aux œuvres de Joyce Wieland, le programmateur-invité Vincent Bonin a conçu deux programmes qui reflètent sa perception de cette pionnière du cinéma indépendant canadien, célébrant ainsi son art expérimental et ses engagements politiques. En collaboration avec IMAGES DU 1984 JOURNALISTE ·: DU 12 AU 29 JANVIER :· Excluant volontairement quelques œuvres majeures pour laisser place à d’autres films de grande valeur, trop rarement vus en salle, ce cycle de 12 longs métrages est consacré au journaliste comme personnage de cinéma. De Philadelphia Story à State of Play, en passant par All the President’s Men, celui qui débusque les coquins et dénonce les filous obtient à tous les coups le premier rôle… sans céder à la perfection des héros invincibles et irréprochables. Cette programmation a été proposée par André Lavoie, critique de cinéma au Devoir et à Mediafilm.ca et recherchiste à Radio- Canada. Chacun des films sera précédé d’une présentation par un journaliste ou un critique. Une table ronde ayant comme sujet de réflexion « L’image des journalistes au cinéma : reflet de CINÉMA DE GENRE : leur réalité ou miroir déformant ? » sera organisée le vendredi 14 janvier, à 18 h, au Café-Bar de la Cinémathèque québécoise. DYSTOPIA ·: :· La science-fiction doit-elle se résumer à une CAPOTE DU 8 JANVIER AU 2 AVRIL accumulation d’effets spéciaux et de prouesses techniques ? Les sept films de ce cycle proposent des approches alternatives en se concentrant sur la place de l’humain et de l’individu dans des sociétés sous surveillance. Des thèmes tels l’omniprésence de l’image (La Mort en direct ), la surveillance généralisée (1984), l’idéalisation du passé (A Boy and His Dog) ou le musellement des groupes marginaux (Born in Flames) ouvrent une réflexion esthétique et politique sur ce que pourrait être notre futur.

  • “Performance As Narrative in Two Mclaren Animated Shorts” Lucille Mok, Harvard University
    “Performance as Narrative in Two McLaren Animated Shorts” Lucille Mok, Harvard University Presented at the Canadian University Music Society Annual Conference University of Victoria, Victoria, BC June 5 to 9, 2013 Experimental filmmaker Norman McLaren created his abstract animated films at a pivotal moment in the history of animation and in the development of film and sound technology. During his career of over forty years (from 1941 until his death in 1987) at the National Film Board of Canada [NFB], McLaren was a key player in this evolution, incorporating sound and video in new and innovative ways. In both his aesthetic and approach to sound, McLaren followed in the footsteps of German filmmaker Oskar Fischinger, whose animation awakened McLaren’s fascination with film and its ability to “express his feelings about music.”1 Best known for his drawn-on sound techniques, McLaren developed techniques to compose electronic music by drawing or printing graphic patterns directly onto the optical soundtrack.2 [See Figure 1] His 1971 animated short “Synchromy,” referred to by the film scholar Thomas Y. Levin as “the magnum opus of the synthetic sound film,” is an examplar of McLaren’s audio technique.3 [See Figure 2.] By incorporating the images from his audio track directly into the film’s animation, McLaren augmented the visuals, revealing that the deep connections between sound and film were essential to his compositional process. 1 McLaren’s biographer, Terence Dobson, cites his encounter with Fishinger’s short animated film Study No. 7 as a moment of creative awakening.

The McLaren 2014 Programme is produced by the Centre for the Moving Image in partnership with the @mclaren2014 /mclaren2014 National Film Board of Canada. www.mclaren2014.com WELCOME hen it occurred to me, back in 2007, Wthat Norman McLaren’s centenary was approaching, I wanted to ensure Scotland recognised this internationally renowned artist – one that most people in his country of origin hadn’t heard of. McLaren 2014 will narrate the progress of Norman’s life in Scotland, starting in April where we relive his childhood days in Stirling. We will then go to The Glasgow School of Art in May to screen his student films. In June, we will witness his legacy afresh in Edinburgh, with an exhibition of his artwork and a premiere event at the 68th Edinburgh International Film Festival. During the whole McLaren 2014 programme, you will be able to attend exhibitions, screenings, workshops and performances in Scotland and in the rest of the UK. This amassed wealth of cultural activity has all been inspired by one modest Scotsman, and over the past five years of developing this festival, I have frequently had to consider: ‘What would Norman do?’ Given Norman’s unassuming opinion of himself, he probably wouldn’t have orchestrated four months of events dedicated to his legacy, and most certainly would have shied away of the accumulated enthusiasm I’ve encountered bringing this programme together, with the invaluable contribution of McLaren’s friend, fellow film maker Don McWilliams.

  • NORMAN MCLAREN RETROSPECTIVE at Moma
    The Museum of Modern Art 50th Anniversary NO. 7 no FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NORMAN MCLAREN RETROSPECTIVE AT MoMA As part of NATIONAL FILM BOARD OF CANADA: A RETROSPECTIVE, Norman McLaren, master animator and founder of the Board's an­ imation unit in 1941, will be honored with a retrospective of virtually all the films he made at NFBC. Part One of MoMA's NFBC Retrospective, ANIMATION, runs from January 22 through February 16, and presents a survey of 150 animated films. Five programs of the extraordinary and influential work of Norman McLaren will be presented from February 12 through 16. "Animation came to the National Film Board of Canada in 1941 with the person of Norman McLaren. In 1943, after having recruited George Dunning, Jim MacKay and Grant Munro, it was McLaren who was put in charge of the first animation workshop. The earliest films were craftsmanlike, having a more utilitarian than aesthetic character. After the war the time of the artist came about. The spirit and goals of the animation unit changed; the styles and techniques became more and more refined leading to today's sophisticated animation." —Louise Beaudet, Head of Animation Department, Cinematheque quebecoise, Montreal "Norman McLaren (Stirling, Scotland, 1914) completed his first abstract films in 1933 while a student at the Glasgow School of Art, Here he attracted the attention of John Grierson, who invited the young man upon graduation to make promotional films for the General Post Office in London. McLaren worked for the GPO from 1936 until 1939 when, at the onset of war, he moved to New York.

A fl air for this could be seen in early examples of drawing and design completed while he attended Stirling High School and then Glasgow School of Art. It has been outlined elsewhere 1 that he was infl uenced by early interests in music and dance and these rather substantive aspects of interest are examined in more depth later in this chapter. Th is section considers some of the earlier, formative experiences that remained with him throughout his career, from his Art School education, through to some of the pioneering animators, and which he would later cite as being so infl uential to him. Th e chapter begins with a discussion of his painting habit; something which would remain with him throughout his life and would even be used as a meta- phor when describing his process of direct animation: ‘And so my militant phi- losophy is this: to make with a brush on canvas is a simple and direct delight – to make a movie should be the same’.

  • Norman Mclaren Has Often Said. Yet, Most Assessments of Mclare
    Maurice Yacowar Norman McLaren: The Narrative and Contemplative Modes "I try not to be just an experimenter," Norman McLaren has often said. Yet, most assessments of McLaren's work deal principally with his technical innovations- synthetic music, electronic and optional sound tracks, cameraless film-making, pixillation. Precisely because of his brilliance as an experimental film-maker, McLaren's devices have been discussed to the exclusion of his ideas. Except for such obviously didac­ tic works as Neighbors and A Chairy Tale. the themes of McLaren's work have been neglected; how he works seems to have generated more interest than what he is trying to express. This regrettable bias persists even in Maynard Collins' recent book on McLaren, published by the Canadian Film lnstitute. 1 Of course, the brief, packed entertainments which McLaren has pro­ duced over the years do have meaning. A varied thematic consistency underlies the variety of his experimental effects. Briefly, it seems to me that much of McLaren's work is creatively concerned with the distinc­ tion between the narrative impulse and the contemplative. Two different frames of mind are expressed here. To the narrative impulse, the world is composed of tractable material which responds to the author's con­ trol. The storyteller asserts himself over his material, shaping it to ex­ press his vision. But in the contemplative stance, the author does not presume to shape the image of his world. Rather he takes delight in recording (often with awe and humility) the material as he finds it. The critical tradition that has focused exclusively upon McLaren's machinery would limit his work to the contemplative type.

  • Norman Mclaren's Animated Film Rythmetic As Temporal
    116 / The Japanese Society for Aesthetics Aesthetics No.15 (2011) Norman McLaren’s Animated Film Rythmetic as Temporal Art KURIHARA Utako Seinan Gakuin University, Fukuoka 1. Introduction Norman McLaren (1914–1987) was a Scottish-born Canadian experimental animator and film director known for his work in the National Film Board (Office National du Film) where he played a commanding role from 1941 to 1982. Besides filming without a camera or microphone and using his scratch sound system, McLaren’s aesthetic belief in animation is legendary: “What happens between each frame is more important than what happens on each frame”[1] and “How it moved is more important than what moved”[2]. The animated art, which he defined as “the art of manipulating the invisible interstices that lie between the frames”[3], was not a spatial subject but a temporal one for McLaren. Such notions are reflected in his own compositions for his animated films Neighbours (1952), Rythmetic (1955), and Synchromy (1970). In particular, the titles of the last two works suggest his intention to explore beyond the traditional notion of film art by combing words like rhythm and arithmetic (to form “rythmetic”) or synchronicity and chrome (to form “synchromy”). However, the artistic dimension of Rythmetic, on which he collaborated with Evelyn Lambart (1914–1999), has not been fully evaluated unlike that of Synchromy, which is always refered as his representative work. For instance, in a special issue of Séquence for McLaren in 1975, Rythmetic was classified as a film not for "aesthetic pleasure" but for “information and education”[4] and Collins depicted this work as an arithmetic lecture or communicative stress management through image: Following on the heels of a teaching assignment in India for UNESCO, this amusing non- verbal lecture on the subject of mathematics reveals McLaren's feelings about the inadequacies of communication between peoples of different cultures and languages.

  • 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.
