Under the new policy, the NFB will continue to produce experimental! and shorter film and video productions. ‘‘We’ll start to move into Telefilm’s markets but we’re not commercially onented,”’ said Crossland. He added that while the Vancouver NFB office has “never Out to supported the shorter social- documentary films, it has never been given adequate funding for the Pacific region of the country that it funds. Money for the regional NFB offices 1s just not pro- portioned properly, most projects here use independent producers and have readily available funding, explained Crossland. The danger with Telefilm might also be that commer- cial films are produced at the expense of films with a cultural aspect in them, he added. The independent producer said that he would like to see the NFB allow regional of- fices like Vancouver to han- dle funding on an individual project basis, instead of be- ing alloted a lump sum to fund all films in- their jurisdiction.

Cities included on the tous are Cologne and Dusseldorf Just before Jeaving for Germany, Anna Wyman talked about her expenences during the Company's previous tours to China, In- dia and Europe. Europe is home territory in a sense as Wyman was born and raised in Austria. ‘“‘Although the dance forms are quite different in China and in India, they are very appealing,’’ she con- tnues. ‘“‘All) dance forms move and perform to an au- dience, although with dif- ferent styles and techniques. What we all have in common is that dance does not have to speak and it is therefore an international language we all understand.”’ In spite of her encounters with different cultures, Wyman does not see herself using their ideas consciously mo hee choreography “As an artist other cultures enrich you and some of their ideas May pop up im my choreography somewhere,”’ says Wyman ‘“‘But ft don't know enough about China and India and, of course, See page C3 a a a SS Sea A CONCERT OF DANCE WITH THE ANNA WYMAN SCHOOL OF DANCE ARTS FEATURING, A OPECIAL GUEST PERFORMANCE NiGaill Y BY THE ANNA WYMAN DANCE THEATRE CO 7:30 P.M.
