Memorials

Richard Leiterman DOP/Director, remembered by friends and family and professional acquaintances at The new Gladstone Hotel. Some beautiful poetry was given by the Nearest and the Dearest. It was an honour to be there and I got to experience it with Jayne Eastwood and our old friend Elva, Don Shebib and Tedde Moore. We regretted the occasion but enjoyed the opportunity to be together again.

So too with the people of Paul Bettis, Director/Actor, who's name was on all our lips all that remembrance night at Buddies in Badtimes.


From: MOVIELAND by Jerome Charyn:
For: two artists who knew all about it:

"Film is not a transplanted literary or dramatic art…it is much closer to music, in the sense that its finest effects can be independent of precise meaning, that its transitions can be more eloquent that its high lit scenes, and that its dissolves and camera movements which cannot be censored, are often far more emotionally effective than its plots, which can.
