    ` 1111 APRILAPRIL -- 33 AUGUSTAUGUST 20142014 Celebrating the Centenary of Animator Norman McLaren Screenings, Exhibitions, Workshops, Performances around the UK Stirling • Glasgow • Edinburgh and events around the UK McLaren 2014 is an official Culture 2014 event and www.mclaren2014.com part of Homecoming Scotland 2014 celebrations. 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.

  • The Work of Norman Mclaren 3/4/08 9:45 PM
    The Riddle of the Chicken: The Work of Norman McLaren 3/4/08 9:45 PM contents great directors cteq annotations top tens about us links archive search The Riddle of the Chicken: The Work of Norman McLaren by Bill Schaffer Bill Schaffer teaches animation and film studies at the School of Media and Languages, University of Newcastle. An exemplary modernist, Norman McLaren was at once a practitioner and a theorist of animated art. Indeed, the most frequently cited attempt to define the specificity of animated art, regularly called upon by independent artists, academic commentators, and commercial animators such as Chuck Norman McLaren Jones, comes from McLaren himself: “Animation is not the art of drawings-that-move, but rather the art of movements-that-are-drawn. What happens between each frame is more important than what happens on each frame.” (1) All of McLaren's films may be considered as filmic adventures in-between, both in the sense of intervening between frames in unexpected ways, and in treating the film strip, that physical thing that ordinarily mediates between camera and projector, as the primary object of artistic activity. “Animation”, McLaren commented, “is manipulating the difference” (2). McLaren's first entirely animated film, Love on the Wing (1939), is an exercise in constant metamorphosis inspired by the example of Emile Cohl, creator of “the first cartoon” (Fantasmagorie, 1908). In McLaren's film an envelope unfolds and delivers itself up to the powers of animation, transforming, multiplying and dividing its own contents and possible messages. The evolving flow of forms bifurcates intermittently into two simultaneous streams, putting shapes into dialogue/struggle with each other.
