New York 1961 , Time Square. People lookup at the lightboard at an ad for Canada. This is more than just a run of the mill lightboard ad though , McLaren's ad shows off his talents with this relativly new source at the time to give a hypnotic message about the wonders of Canada, mixed in with peoples reactions this is a great little film. Almost a social record of the time with the cutting between the two sources its a must for anyone interested in his work. For anyone interested an excerpt of it is on the suberb tape "Selected Film" released in the u.k , check i t out.

This is the longer version of what is usually shown. "New York Lightboard Record" is the sequence that is released on the superb collection of his work by the B.F.I It would be good to have a release of the full version as cuts from it only give you a taste of what you could have.
