Expo67

[@Autostade67]

This style of this is neither that of the NFB/ONF in the 60s nor that of Pathé, and, as the credits at the end prove, it was produced by Crawley Films - and financed by the Traders Group of Companies who, after brief online research, I found this: Traders Finance Corporation (1966) Limited is a company governing under the Canada Business Corporations Act - 29 April 1980 (Tuesday). It was incorporated on 25 May 1966 (Wednesday) in Canada and as of 19 October 1984 (Friday) is an inactive - discontinued company. One can assume this then new company was hedging its bets expo as a jump starter for investments. Crawley Films has a more interesting heritage: it was an independent film production company formed by Frank Radford 'Budge' Crawley and his wife Judith (a cinematographer - both would win an Oscar in the 70s for the doc 'The Man Who Skied Down Everest') in 1939 and produced independent films in Canada for forty years - no mean feat considering the NFB and CBC had a 'benign monopoly' on state financed media production (predominantly animation, documentary, history, and industrial/social films) after WW II - and HAD to since the MPAA controlled the Canadian box office for narrative cinema through their satellites Famous Players and Odeon (there's much more to this sad story but I will refrain from that history here). Crawley films produced 'The Loon's Necklace' in 1948, winning the First Canadian Film Award (Later briefly known as the 'Etrogs' after Sorel Etrog, the sculptor who designed the statuette, the the 'Genies' [the statuette looked vaguely like a Jinn, now become the CSA).
