Norman Mclaren- 1940 -Graveyard Gambol

Grierson, who was at that time head of the GPO Film Unit, hired him for the GPO as soon as McLaren completed his studies.
After making a few films for the GPO in London, McLaren moved to New York City in 1939, just as World War II was about to begin in Europe.
At the invitation of Grierson, he moved to Canada in 1941 to work for the National Film Board, to open an animation studio and to train Canadian animators. During his work for the NFB, McLaren created his most famous film, Neighbours (1952), which has won various awards around the world, including the Canadian Film Award and the Academy Award. Besides the brilliant combination of visuals and sound, the film has a very strong social message against violence and war. In addition to film, McLaren worked with UNESCO in the 1950s and 1960s on programs to teach film and animation techniques in China and India. His five part "Animated Motion" shorts, produced in the late 1970s, are an excellent example of instruction on the basics of film animation.
