Also known as Norman McLaren's opening speech
CREDITS: Producer, Tom Daly; director, Norman McLaren; camera-man, Eugene Boyko
SUMMARY: Invited to host the Montreal Film Festival, McLaren decided to let the medium be the message and showed this film instead. As McLaren attempts to address the audience, the microphone (through the technique of pixillation) suddenly comes to life and exhibits reluctance, guilt and guile. Finally, McLaren gives up on the rebellious microphone, leaps at the camera and bursts into a message of welcome in 24 languages
