Description:

Lecture delivered by Hugh Taylor, Archives Course Director and Canadian archival scholar about the language and nature of film in its forms of movie, newsreel and documentary. Film-making techniques and the psychological impact of film are examined. The influence of movies and its role in comparison with that of television is reviewed, as is the question of film censorship. Newsreel content, production and distribution are closely examined. The documentary film's definition and purposes are outlined by Mr. Taylor, focusing on its limitations and its capacity for ethnological and anthropological study. The work of John Grierson and Robert Flaherty, two famous documentary film makers, is also reviewed. The lecture was given as part of the 1987 Archives Course sponsored by the National Archives of Canada. <90mn>
