Synch-sound interview with Denys Arcand in which he talks about the party-like atmosphere of the Board when he first started there in 1962, the development of French Production, how in his view the Film Board is not what it used to be (i.e. too bureaucratic, no sense of camaraderie anymore), the primary achievements of the Board being animations and documentaries between 1955 and 1965, the difference between cinema and TV, the French Production moving towards fiction, English Production staying with documentary.
