Norman McLaren

VHS -- 1970, color, 27 minutes



Price $75.00 -- Add To Cart


The eminent animator and experimental film artist Norman McLaren talks here with film historian William Sloan, and introduces excerpts from his work to illustrate his ideas and techniques.

Scottish-born McLaren, who made his home in Canada and was an early member of the National Film Board of Canada, was a pioneer in short films using various film tricks, animation, painting on film and handmade sound tracts. Film excerpts here include sections from: Boogie Doodle, Loop and Dots, Begone Dull Care, Rhythmetic, Poulette Grise, Neighbors, Canon, and Pas de Deux. These films illustrate experiments with a wide variety of techniques. Sound tracks, often drawn directly on the film, include jazz, electronic warbles, scratching, distorted dialogue, and classical music.
