Sunday, March 15, we welcome William Weintraub

This Sunday, March 15th, after the One Week screening in the AMC, we welcome Bill Weintraub, author, scholar and all-round gentleman. Bill, in his heyday, was a National Film Board hyphenate: writer/producer/director on some 150 films.

As part of the Canadian Centennial, he co-produced/co-directed a 16 minute short, Celebration, which we will screen in the Comedy Nest. Like One Week, Celebration captures moods, costumes, and poses of a country, on the eve of its one hundredth birthday. Oscar Peterson and his trio provided the soundtrack.
