Outside, Inside, Out

From page B8&

Manager) and Ian Schilt,
who composed and directed
the play’s original music was
also the piano player/man to
be shot and viewer 3.

The script adn the lyrics of
Outside Ipside Out were
heavy with symbolism with
myetof the drama focusing
around an empty door frame.
Searching for something to
trust in, to believe in, sultry
lead actress, Karla Taber,
played by Elena Kirschner,
continuously passed through
the empty frame in search of
herself.

‘“‘There were some very
nice sequences in the play,’’
said Kerr in his adjudication.
In particular, Kerr pointed to

Genocide

THE CANADIAN benefit
premiere of Genocide, the
1982 Academy Award
documentary, will take place
Monday, June 4, at the Ridge
Theatre at 8 p.m. Other ma-
jor Canadian city benefits
will follow throughout this
year.

Rabbi Marvin Hier, the
films co-producer will be pre-
sent for the event.

This is not just another
reminder of what happened
to the Jewish minority or to
the five million people of dif-
ferent faiths, nationalities

and political persuasions who
perished in countries overrun
by Nazi Germany. These
facts are only too well known

the neighbor sequence where
the audience see Karla when
she is just ‘‘pretty paper in a
pretty pox’’ joining in
mindless neighborly chitchat
about apple pie, mowing
lawns and making babies.

“~ However, Kerr, who rates
oral communication as the
most important aspect of
theatre, criticized the cast for
poor articulation. Both the
script and the lyrics were
equally important in this
play, said Kerr, who doubted
whether the audience could,
in some instances, unders-
tand the off-stage voice and,
in particular, the lyrics.

Kerr cautioned the cast to
remember that ‘‘even though
it is rock, it must be ar-
ticulate,’’ and also noted
that, ‘‘when there is a play
with songs, the play can’t

premiere

and have by now become part
of the history of the 20th
Century.

Proceeds from the event
will benefit ongoing projects
of Simon Wiesenthal Center.
One such project is to pur-
chase video cassettes of the
film for use in Vancouver.
The tapes will be available to
schools, churches, institu-
tions and service clubs to nur-
ture continuing awareness.

There are three categories
for participation: $1,000
patron, $500 sponsor. These
donations are tax deductible
and include two tickets to the
Premiere in reserved seats.
Individual tickets are $100
each, also tax deductable.

THE

observed, criticized,
‘dissected or praised

stop for a solo.’” There was a
slight danger of this happen-
ing in Outside Inside Out,
said Kerr.

Interviewed during the
Festival, Kerr observed that
although classical plays are
realizing a revival on the
Atlantic coast, B.C. plays are
largely concerned with ex-
amining feelings and probing
emouons.

In this respect the North
Shore Festival entry, Outside
Inside Out, which portrays
people questioning and sear-
ching for meaning in life
while at the same time
philosophizing that ‘‘life is a
matter of positioning, a mat-
ter of being outside,’’ is
representative of the type of
play which currently appeals
to B.C. theatre goers.

Garden
party

Jurying of crafts for the
fourth annual Garden Party
Crafts and Music Festival
will take place June 11,
(Monday) at the Burnaby
Arts Centre.

The Burnaby Arts Council
have scheduled the two-day
**Garden Party’’ on the B.C.

DECISION

MULTILINGUAL SPECIALTY PROGRAMMING SERVICES
The CRTC approved on 24 May 1984 two applications for
licences for networks to distribute on a discretionary, user-
pay basis, multilingual specialty programming specifically
directed to the linguistic needs and interests of some of the
larger language groups in Canada, other than French and
English. The two new licensees are: Emilio Mascia and Jack
Price, representing a compnay to be incorporated (Latin-
avision), for a network to distribute a national predominantly
ttalian and Spanish-language specialty service (Decision
CRTC 84-444); and Chinavision Canada Corporation (China-
vision) for a network licence to distribute a national pre-
dominantly Chinese-language specialty service (Decision
84-445). The Chinavision decision was approved by a maijori-
ty of the Commission. Said CRTC Chairman Andre Bureau:
‘The applicants and all the interveners at the hearing have
demonstrated the demand and need for these specialty net-
work services in Canada. The services to be provided by
Chinavision and Latinovision should assist greatly in fos-
tering the cultural values and traditions of Chinese, Italian
and Spanish-speaking peopte.’’ These decisions result from
a public hearing held in the National Capital Region on 24
January 1984 at which a total of 15 specialty applications
were heard including five proposing multilingual specialty
services. They also follow the licensing of a video musjc and
an all-sports specialty network service on 2 April, T3984.
White denying applications (Decision 84-446) by World View
Television Lid., Wah Shing Television Ltd. and partners, and
MTV Broadcasting System Inc., the CRTC acknowledged the
Quality of these multilingual applications and the consider-
able effort and research evident in their preparation and pre-
sentation at the hearing. Taking into account economic and
spectrum considerations, the Commission is concerned with
the need to strengthen and develop further the availabitity
across Canada of quality Canadian multilingual broadcasting
services to enhance the overall diversity of the Canadian
broadcasting system

The Commission will soon initiate a public discussion on the
development of a comprehensive policy governing multi
lingual radio and television services. Until this policy review
has been completed, no turther applications for multilingual
services will be considered. Latinovision expects to be in
operation in the tall of 1984 and indicated that its network
service will be available to subscribers nationally, on a
phased-in basis, over the term of the licence expiring 31
March 1989. Latinovision proposed to offer 90 hours per
week of programming predominantly in italian and Spanish-
languages that will respond to the clear demand for greater
amounts of quality programming. Taking into account the
linguistic nature of the service and the availability of pro-
grams, Latinovision undertook, over the term of its licence,
to provide a Canadian content level of 15% (19% between
19:30 and 22:30), to expend not less than 43% of its total
programming budget on Canadian content, requiring Latin-
ovision to adhere to these commitments. Chinavision ex-
pects to be in operation in the fall of 1984 and proposed to
extend its network service nationally, on a phased-in basis
over the term of the licence, expiring 31 March 1989. China-
vision will offer 56 hours per week of Chinese-language pro-
ramming in the Cantonese and Mandarin dialects. The
mmission was satisfied that the Chinavision service,
through its capacity to bridge generations and cultures,
should do much to foster the development ot the Canadian
Chinese community while allowing it to retain its cultural
roots and traditions Taking into account the linguistic nature
of the service and the availability of programs, Chinavision ts
committed to provide Canadian content levels of 10% in the
first year rising to 30% by the third year of its licence and to
expend approximately 37% otf the total program budget on
Canadian programming in the first year, rising to 60% In the
thiid year Conditions of hcence were imposed requiring
Chinavision to adhere to these commitments Chinavision
also indicated tt would distribute onty national commercial
messages on Its network to the exclusion of loc al adver

tising and to imu advertising to a Maximum of three minules
per hour

Chinavision stressed its desire to Co exist with other existing
