We've mentioned the film work of Martin Lavut here before. The Disfarmer film will be shown on TVO on May 25 at 9:00 PM. The NFB has just made, Remembering Arthur, another work of his available online. The NFB description of the film can be found below.
Remembering Arthur, Martin Lavut director, 2006, 89 min 54 s In this feature length documentary, filmmaker Arthur Lipsett's close friend Martin Lavut documents the influence of the eccentric Oscar-nominated film genius. The world of cinema tragically lost Lipsett in 1986 when the Montreal-born artist committed suicide 2 weeks before his 50th birthday. This feature documentary celebrates the life and legacy of one of Canada's greatest creative minds, who began his filmmaking career at the NFB.
UPDATE (6 June 2011): The Disfarmer film mentioned above has been shown on TVO a few times as part of its May photography month. Currently, the full film can be watched online here.
