Kevin Brownlow Lecture - 20:00: “From Biograph to Fox Grandeur. Early Experiments in Large Format Presentations”

 
Legendary Film Historian and preservationist Kevin Brownlow during a lecture. Image by Thomas Hauerslev

We are delighted that historian and preservationist Mr. Kevin Brownlow of Photoplay Productions has accepted our invitation to come and give a lecture.

Mr. Brownlow has recently been awarded an Academy Award (OSCAR) - The Honorary Award, an Oscar® statuette, is given to an individual for “extraordinary distinction in lifetime achievement, exceptional contributions to the state of motion picture arts and sciences, or for outstanding service to the Academy.”

KEVIN BROWNLOW

As a film editor, Brownlow worked on Tony Richardson's "The Charge of the Light Brigade" (1968). With Andrew Mollo, he directed two feature films, "It Happened Here" (1964) and "Winstanley" ( 1975).

In 1980, with David Gill, he directed for Thames TV a 13-part TV series devoted to the American silent film. In 1980, his five-hour restoration of Abel Gance "Napoleon" was presented with a score composed by Carl Davis. Following the demise of Thames TV, Brownlow and Gill formed their own company, Photoplay Productions, with Patrick Stanbury. Their restorations included the Valentino classic, "THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE" (1921)

In 1995, they completed the six-part CINEMA EUROPE to mark the centenary of cinema. David Gill died in 1997. Brownlow and Stanbury continued the tradition with documentaries like CECIL B DEMILLE – AMERICAN EPIC and I’M KING KONG, the career of Merian C Cooper, for TCM.

KEVIN BROWNLOW

Brownlow arbeitete bei „Der Angriff der leichten Brigade“ (OT: „The Charge of the Light Brigade“) (1968) unter der Regie von Tony Richardson als Cutter. Zusammen mit Andrew Mollo führte er bei zwei Spielfilmen Regie: „It Happened Here“ (1964) und „Winstanley“ (1975).

1980 führte er zusammen mit David Gill bei einer 13-teiligen Fernsehreihe über den amerikanischen Stummfilm für Thames TV Regie. 1980 wurde seine fünfstündige restaurierte Fassung von „Napoleon“ (Regie: Abel Gance) mit einer von Carl Davis komponierten Musikbegleitung aufgeführt. Nach der Schließung von Thames TV gründeten Brownlow und Gill gemeinsam mit Patrick Stanbury eine eigene Firma, Photoplay Productions. Zu ihren Restaurationsprojekten gehört der Valentino-Klassiker „DIE VIER REITER DER APOKALYPSE“ (OT: „THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE“) (1921).

1995 stellten sie die sechsteilige Reihe „KINO EUROPA: DIE KUNST DER BEWEGTEN BILDER“ (OT: „CINEMA EUROPE: THE OTHER HOLLYWOOD“) anlässlich von einhundert Jahren Kinogeschichte fertig.

David Gill starb im Jahr 1997. Brownlow und Stanbury setzten die Tradition mit Dokumentationen wie „CECIL B. DEMILLE – AMERICAN EPIC“ und „I’M KING KONG“ über die Arbeit von Merian C. Cooper für TCM fort.

"The Miracle of French Cinema, made in Superpanorama 70mm"

Very unique 70mm screening. Never released on any home medium ... neither VHS, nor Laser Disc nor DVD. The movie is VERY well made with high production values, a good (5-channel) score, lots of horses and horse stunts in the deserts of north Africa, a beautiful Anna Karina, extremely sharp images ... a rare gem in the 70mm world, which almost nobody has ever seen.

Joe wins BAFTA award 2010

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts is delighted to announce that Joe Dunton will receive the award for Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema at the Orange British Academy Film Awards ceremony at London’s Royal Opera House on Sunday 21 February 2010.

Joe Dunton is one of the off-camera heroes of the British film industry: he has supported filmmakers and has been instrumental in the development of equipment used globally by film productions in his career spanning over four decades.

During his career, Joe has revolutionised the technology that is used as standard in the industry today such as the first heated camera eyepiece, the ladderpod and his work on "Oliver!" was crucial in the development of a system which is now commonly known as ‘video assist’, which allows filmmakers to see what is being shot.

He has worked with the great filmmakers of our generation including George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Mike Leigh and he enjoyed a particularly close relationship with Stanley Kubrick, whom he started working with on "A Clockwork Orange". He has most recently worked on the Harry Potter series and Rob Marshall’s "Nine", both of which are BAFTA-nominated this year.

The Ontario Government Department of Economics and Development, Presents "A Place to Stand", A TDF Production. Executive Producer David Mackay. Technical Production by Barry O. Gordon. Filmed and Edited by Christopher Chapman, C.S.C. Sound Kenneth Heeley-Ray. Composer Dolores Claman. Arranger Jerry Toth. Lyrics Richard Morris. Conductor Rudy Toth.

*) While there are some anamorphic shots in the film, most of the footage was shot 'flat' and then cropped to custom aspect ratios by the matte printing.

"A Place to Stand" was produced and directed by Christopher Chapman for the Ontario Pavilion at Expo 67 in Montreal. The film premiered on April 28, 1967 in a 70mm print by Technicolor, on a screen 66 feet wide by 30 feet high, with six-channel stereo surround sound. Using images, music and sound effects without spoken narration or titles, the film tells about life in Ontario, presenting about an hour-and-a-half of footage in its 18-minute running time. This is accomplished by what Chapman calls his multi-dynamic image technique, a groundbreaking multiple screen, variable picture presentation that allows viewers to see many images within different panels, up to 15 scenes simultaneously on one screen.

Christoper Chapman

The Making of "A Place to Stand"

 
"At Expo, "A Place to Stand" was an instant hit. It played continually before packed audiences; as many as 6000 people daily, 2 million in total," until the end of the six-month long exposition on October 27. "A Place to Stand" - closed on 29 October 1967; originally scheduled to close on the 27th (which was a Friday) but when it was so successful they decided to stretch it to the Sunday. "The title song from the film became so popular a record was produced and has sold over 50,000 copies to date. Since Expo, "A Place to Stand" has been distributed to movie houses throughout Ontario and Canada and is soon to tour theatres in the U.S.A. and Europe. It is expected that over 100 million people will see the film."

Nearly every major Hollywood studio purchased prints of Chapman's film to screen for executives, producers and directors. Columbia Pictures distributed the film to movie theatres throughout the United States and Canada. "A Place to Stand" clearly influenced the composition of subsequent film images. An early prominent example of this influence was Norman Jewison's 1968 film "The Thomas Crown Affair", which featured Chapman's multi-dynamic image process in key scenes of the story. Jewison publicly acknowledged Chapman as creator of the technique.

Christopher Chapman's "A Place to Stand" was nominated in two categories for an Academy Award, including Best Documentary Short Subject. The film won in the Best Live Action Short Subject category and Chapman accepted the Oscar on April 10, 1968, during the 40th annual Academy Awards presentation at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium.

"Festival" is a slightly edited version of Chris Chapman's multi image "Ontario" for Expo 70 - at Osaka it ran about 30 minutes, but at Cinesphere they wanted to "turn over" the audience every half hour, so Chapman cut it back by about 6 minutes for release there in the summer of 1971 and as far as we know hasn't been seen publicly since then. It climaxes with an astounding aerial banking shot over the brink of Niagara Falls.
