Join us for a screening of four recently restored stereoscopic and stereophonic shorts by renowned Scottish-Canadian animator and experimental filmmaker Norman McLaren. The evening will also feature a new documentary about McLaren's musical compositions entitled Norman McLaren: Animated Musician, with its director Donald McWilliams in attendance.
A brief question period will follow the screening with the NFB filmmakers, researchers and McLaren collaborators who formed the restoration team.
About the film
Not only did Norman McLaren create his own film imagery, he also made his own music by drawing, etching and photographing patterns directly onto the sound track area of the film, becoming a pioneer of electronic music long before the invention of the synthesizer. Norman McLaren: Animated Musician celebrates this exploration and presents much never-before-seen work by this master of cinema.
