Les Oeufs à la Coque de Richard Leacock (91 min, 1991)
by Richard Leacock and Valerie Lalonde
Inspired by both new love and Gulliver's Travels, Les Oeufs à la Coque (aka Richard Leacock's Soft-Boiled Eggs), is a ravishingly beautiful, important film about nothing in particular, a love song dedicated to France, French women in general and one Frenchwoman in particular, and a montage portrait of quotidian life in a country at peace.

Footage from The Louisiana Story Survey Film [(c)Flaherty Study Center], with audio from Flaherty Seminar discussions
Director: Robert Flaherty
Cinematographer: Richard Leacock
Audio: Flaherty Seminars of 1958, 1963, and 1968
Assembly: Erik Piil, 2011
1946-1947, 28 min., HD video
Screened at the The 2011 Robert Flaherty Film Seminar: SONIC TRUTH
Programmed by Dan Streible
How -- after surveying, shooting, and watching color film footage of the oil refineries emanating black smoke into the skies over southwestern Louisiana -- could Robert Flaherty make Louisiana Story as a poetic fantasy? and later describe its "inspiration" in this way?
Screening at the seminar for the first time is this silent, color 16mm footage shot by Ricky Leacock. In preproduction, Flaherty studied locations for the sponsored film he was making for Standard Oil of New Jersey. With a $250,000 budget, the director could afford shooting color survey footage. As Leacock noted, "Bob" liked to shoot copious amounts of footage with no intended goal. Here we see monstrous oil refineries, derricks, marshes, bayou flora and fauna, and, occasionally, people.
The Flaherty Study Center, Claremont School of Theology, houses the material. In 1976, the center copyrighted the title The Louisiana Story Survey Film. That work is simply an assemblage of most of the raw footage. All but one roll is Ansco brand stock, whose color has faded considerably. For the 2011 seminar, an admirer of Leacock's work, Russ Suniewick at Colorlab, did pro bono digital color-correction using the camera-original reversal prints. Erik Piil (NYU Bobst Library) assembled the resulting HD files for the seminar presentation, assisted by Walter Forsberg and Rufus de Rahm.
Piil also researched, digitized, and edited the audio from The Flaherty's collection of seminar recordings. The 1958, 1963, and 1968 discussions of Louisiana Story and of Louisiana Story Study [not Survey] Film (George Amberg and Nicholas Cominos, 1962) include the voices of Frances Flaherty, Leacock, Amberg, Standish Lawder, Arnold Eagle (who shot the production stills for Louisiana Story), D. Marie Grieco, and others.

Rare color "survey film" footage (1946-1947) shot by Richard Leacock and Robert Flaherty prior to the production of Louisiana Story (1948). These Kodachrome and Anscochrome camera-originals are from the Robert and Frances Flaherty Study Center, located at the Claremont School of Theology, Claremont, CA. Colorlab film laboratory performed pro bono color correction and output to high-definition video for the 2011 Flaherty Seminar. Audio recordings of the Robert Flaherty Seminar were found in the archives of International Film Seminars, Inc.; digitization was courtesy of the Barbara Goldsmith Conservation and Preservation Department, New York University Libraries.

Richard Leacock fine-tuned the "Direct Cinema" approach to film making by helping design unobtrusive sync-sound camera and sound systems. In 2011 HT2FF honored Leacock by screening two of his documentaries; Happy Mothers Day (1964) and Crisis (1963). This is a conversation with Victoria Leacock Hoffman, Robert Leacock, D.A. Pennebaker and Pan Wise recorded at Guild Hall, East Hampton NY November18, 2011 and produced by the Hamptons Take 2 Documentary Film Festival.

In the early sixties, D.A. Pennebaker was a cinematographer on two seminal documentaries Crisis and Primary. In this interview at DOCNYC, Pennebaker talks about working on these films, the Kennedy's and collaborating with Richard Leacock.
From the DOCNYC program:
Produced by Robert Drew with Richard Leacock playing an important creative role, these two classics on John F. Kennedy were major breakthroughs in what became known as cinema vérité. For Primary (53 min, 1960) Robert Drew and Leacock convinced Kennedy to grant unprecedented access to his Presidential campaign. In Crisis (52 min, 1963), Drew's team captures a showdown between Governor George Wallace (filmed by Leacock in Alabama) and Kennedy (filmed by D.A. Pennebaker in the White House) over school integration.

Richard Leacock (18 July 1921 – 23 March 2011) was a British-born documentary film director and one of the pioneers of Direct Cinema and Cinéma vérité.
Leacock was born in London on 18 July 1921, the younger brother of film director and producer Philip Leacock. Leacock grew up on his father's banana plantation in the Canary Islands until being sent to boarding schools in England at the age of eight.
He took up photography with a glass plate camera, built a darkroom and developed his pictures, but was not satisfied. At age 11 he was shown a silent film Turk-Sib about the building of the Trans-Siberian Railway. He was stunned, and said to himself "All I need is a cine-camera and I can make a film that shows you what it is like to be there".
At the age of 14 he wrote, directed, filmed and edited Canary Bananas (10 min. 16mm, silent), a film about growing bananas, but it did not, in his opinion, give you "the feeling of being there".
He was educated at Dartington Hall School from 1934-38, alongside Robert Flaherty's daughters, and where David Lack (Life of the Robin) taught biology.

Screened at the The 2011 Robert Flaherty Film Seminar: SONIC TRUTH
Programmed by Dan Streible
How -- after surveying, shooting, and watching color film footage of the oil refineries emanating black smoke into the skies over southwestern Louisiana -- could Robert Flaherty make Louisiana Story as a poetic fantasy? and later describe its "inspiration" in this way?
Screening at the seminar for the first time is this silent, color 16mm footage shot by Ricky Leacock. In preproduction, Flaherty studied locations for the sponsored film he was making for Standard Oil of New Jersey. With a $250,000 budget, the director could afford shooting color survey footage. As Leacock noted, "Bob" liked to shoot copious amounts of footage with no intended goal. Here we see monstrous oil refineries, derricks, marshes, bayou flora and fauna, and, occasionally, people.
The Flaherty Study Center, Claremont School of Theology, houses the material. In 1976, the center copyrighted the title The Louisiana Story Survey Film. That work is simply an assemblage of most of the raw footage. All but one roll is Ansco brand stock, whose color has faded considerably. For the 2011 seminar, an admirer of Leacock's work, Russ Suniewick at Colorlab, did pro bono digital color-correction using the camera-original reversal prints. Erik Piil (NYU Bobst Library) assembled the resulting HD files for the seminar presentation, assisted by Walter Forsberg and Rufus de Rahm.
Piil also researched, digitized, and edited the audio from The Flaherty's collection of seminar recordings. The 1958, 1963, and 1968 discussions of Louisiana Story and of Louisiana Story Study [not Survey] Film (George Amberg and Nicholas Cominos, 1962) include the voices of Frances Flaherty, Leacock, Amberg, Standish Lawder, Arnold Eagle (who shot the production stills for Louisiana Story), D. Marie Grieco, and others.

In the early sixties, D.A. Pennebaker was a cinematographer on two seminal documentaries Crisis and Primary. In this interview at DOCNYC, Pennebaker talks about working on these films, the Kennedy's and collaborating with Richard Leacock.
From the DOCNYC program:
Produced by Robert Drew with Richard Leacock playing an important creative role, these two classics on John F. Kennedy were major breakthroughs in what became known as cinema vérité. For Primary (53 min, 1960) Robert Drew and Leacock convinced Kennedy to grant unprecedented access to his Presidential campaign. In Crisis (52 min, 1963), Drew's team captures a showdown between Governor George Wallace (filmed by Leacock in Alabama) and Kennedy (filmed by D.A. Pennebaker in the White House) over school integration.

"Ricky on Leacock" An Artist Exposé with Filmmaker Jane Weiner on BYOD DocuWeeks
http://thelip.tv/ http://www.facebook.com/thelip.tv http://www.facebook.com/BYODOC https://twitter.com/#!/onditimoner EPISODE SYNOPSIS: Respected Doc Director and Producer Jane Weiner shares her stunning portrait of Ricky Leacock with BYOD. She talks with Ondi about the shifts in filming that Leacock pioneered and have shaped how everyone makes movies. Jane was a present figure in the verité scene of the 70s, and her insights to the transitions that have been made in documentary up to now are enlightening. GUEST BIO: Jane Weiner's many production credits include SILVERLAKE LIFE, JUPITER'S WIFE, HOME PAGE, RAVI SHANKAR and MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF BEES, which garnered a huge European audience in 2010.

Coulomb's Law (1959) Physics Educational Film
Here, manic Princeton professor Eric Rogers hosts, continually removing and replacing his eyeglasses, ordering around lab assistants --- he forcefully breaks a glass test tube in the hands of an assistant to demonstrate the inelasticity of water --- and furiously pounds equations on a blackboard (Leacock says the scribblings must have lasted 45 minutes, in what must be one of the more necessary cuts in the history of educational film.) Rogers finally conducts an experiment with a young girl, placing her in a metal cage, which he then charges with electricity, demonstrating through the inverse square law that his assistant (Leacock's trusting daughter Elspeth) is not harmed by the charge.

A Magnet Laboratory (1959) Educational Film
In the hands of another director, the inner-workings of a magnet laboratory could have caused a whole classroom to fall asleep of boredom. No so when Leacock was hired to produce this twenty-minute version of lab mayhem. Try this: six researchers in a lab at MIT in the late 1950's show-off the power of electro-magnets, and in the process, accidentally set an experiment on fire(Leacock says he did a retake without the fire, but preferred the immediacy of the fire sequence and kept it in). Or this: half way through the film the phone rings off screen, and host Francis Bitter says "tell 'em I'll call 'em back later" while he's looking at the camera, discussing bus bars. Leacock's fleshed out all the personalities here, from "Beans" Bardo, who cranks up the generator to nearly explosive propor... -

Frames of Reference (1960) Educational Film
Frames of Reference is a 1960 educational film by Physical Sciences Study Committee. The film was made to be shown in high school physics courses. In the film University of Toronto physics professors Patterson Hume and Donald Ivey explain the distinction between inertial and nonintertial frames of reference, while demonstrating these concepts through humorous camera tricks. For example, the film opens with Dr. Hume, who appears to be upside down, accusing Dr. Ivey of being upside down. Only when the pair flip a coin does it become obvious that Dr. Ivey — and the camera — are indeed inverted. The film's humor serves both to hold students' interest and to demonstrate the concepts being discussed. This PSSC film utilizes a fascinating set consisting of a rotating table and furniture occupyin... -

In the hands of another director, the inner-workings of a magnet laboratory could have caused a whole classroom to fall asleep of boredom. No so when Leacock was hired to produce this twenty-minute version of lab mayhem. Try this: six researchers in a lab at MIT in the late 1950's show-off the power of electro-magnets, and in the process, accidentally set an experiment on fire(Leacock says he did a retake without the fire, but preferred the immediacy of the fire sequence and kept it in). Or this: half way through the film the phone rings off screen, and host Francis Bitter says "tell 'em I'll call 'em back later" while he's looking at the camera, discussing bus bars. Leacock's fleshed out all the personalities here, from "Beans" Bardo, who cranks up the generator to nearly explosive proportions, to the mysterious Mr. Lin, who barely peeks over his shoulder at us, seemingly in mockery, disdain, or curiosity. Bitter is an important historical figure, whose degaussing techniques spared many an allied vessel from destruction by magnetic underwater mines during WWII. The generator shown was from Pittsbugh's street car system, relocated to MIT for use in Bitter's lab. This film is from the landmark Physical Science Study Committee (PSSC) series of films. Produced by Kevin Smith and Dr. Jerrold Zacharias.

Frames of Reference is a 1960 educational film by Physical Sciences Study Committee.
The film was made to be shown in high school physics courses. In the film University of Toronto physics professors Patterson Hume and Donald Ivey explain the distinction between inertial and nonintertial frames of reference, while demonstrating these concepts through humorous camera tricks. For example, the film opens with Dr. Hume, who appears to be upside down, accusing Dr. Ivey of being upside down. Only when the pair flip a coin does it become obvious that Dr. Ivey — and the camera — are indeed inverted.
The film's humor serves both to hold students' interest and to demonstrate the concepts being discussed.
This PSSC film utilizes a fascinating set consisting of a rotating table and furniture occupying surprisingly unpredictable spots within the viewing area. The fine cinematography by Abraham Morochnik, and funny narration by University of Toronto professors Donald Ivey and Patterson Hume is a wonderful example of the fun a creative team of filmmakers can have with a subject that other, less imaginative types might find pedestrian.

D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus discuss the rich history of documentary that they have contributed in the first of a two-part interview for BYOD. DON’T LOOK BACK, MONTEREY POP, DEPECHE MODE 101, ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS, JANE, THE WAR ROOM, PRIMARY, and the art of documenting music and performance is shared with insight from the legendary filmmaking duo, as well as clips that have helped define documentary. This episode of BYOD is dedicated to Robert Drew.
GUEST & FILM INFO:
D A (Donn Alan) Pennebaker is widely regarded as one of the pioneers of cinema verite filmmaking. In the early sixties, Pennebaker and his colleague Richard Leacock developed one of the first fully portable 16mm synchronized camera and sound recording systems which revolutionized filmmaking and helped to created the immediate style of shooting so popular today. In 1967, Pennebaker released the seminal film DON’T LOOK BACK, which followed Bob Dylan’s last acoustic concert tour in England. The film broke box office records and is considered a classic of both documentary and rock filmmaking.
Pennebaker’s next film, MONTEREY POP, was a record of the 1967 Monterey International Pop Festival that launched the careers of Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix. A critical and commercial hit, Monterey Pop was the progenitor of a host of rock documentaries, from Woodstock to Pennebaker’s own KEEP ON ROCKIN’ which featured rock n’ roll legends Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, and Bo Diddley; and ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS, Bowie’s final Ziggy performance. Pennebaker’s television documentary COMPANY – The Original Cast Album, about the recording of the Stephen Sondheim musical’s cast album, includes Elaine Stritch’s infamous performance of “The Ladies Who Lunch.”
In 1976, the filmmaker began his long collaboration with his partner and future wife, Chris Hegedus. Together, they have co-directed a host of acclaimed films, including 1998’s MOON OVER BROADWAY and 1994’s THE WAR ROOM. The latter film, a behind-the-scenes look at Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign, received an Academy Award Nomination for Best Documentary and won the National Board of Review’s D.W. Griffith Award for Best Documentary.
Pennebaker’s most recent film is KINGS OF PASTRY, which follows the prestigious French pastry competition the Meilleurs Ouvier de France. It is co-directed by Hegedus and produced by Frazer Pennebaker and Flora Lazar. His subsequent projects include directing a live webcast of the National at the Brooklyn Academy of Music and promoting the new Criterion Collection edition of THE WAR ROOM. He continues to collaborate with other filmmakers through his non-profit organization, Living Archives.
