Five good reasons keep this
cinematographer in Canada

From page 24

difficult when the notion is half-
baked or, even worse, non-exis-
tent.

Burstyn has sat behind the lens
for dozens of TV series and feature
films, including Foxfire, Toy
Soldiers, Tales From the '
Monkeyhouse and the CBC

> made-for-TV movie Liar, Liar, but
more often than not he winds up
at loggerheads with directors.

‘I'm not terribly aggressive
with directors — | don’t push
them around, If they’re confused, |
can help; if they’re confused and
arrogant, | have to cobble the film
together sometimes. —_..

“4 worked with one director
who was so busy thinking about
his next film he. forgot to make the
one he was working on,” he says,
shaking his head.

“It's difficult to make a bad

- film; it’s almost impossible to
make a good film. That's why it’s
great to work with a director who
has a clear agenda. There’s much

: better collaboration. The image

and the story are so closely mar-
ried it can’t be just pretty pic-

And while he has yet to work
with Bertolucci, Burstyn has hit it
off with many directors, including
Jorge Montessi (The Odyssey}, Carl
Schenke! (Eye of the Demon, The
Hitchhiker), Phillip Noyce (Dead

Calm, Heatwave) and Paul
Shapiro, who directed The Lotus

Eaters,

Some of his favorite moments,
he says, were on the set of The
Lotus Eaters, a ‘very low
budget’ new Canadian film that
was shot in B.C.

“There was more confusion
but more freedom (than on Amer-
ican productions) — like having
no teacher in the classroom,’’ he
says of the experience.

Burstyn is indebted to
- Hollywood for bringing its
technical expertise north of the

border and credits the Americans
for helping train B.C.’s crack
crews,

He’s also grateful for the boost
they've provided his career.

Burstyn started out as an under-
ground film-maker in Montreal
and moved to L.A, in the late ‘70s.
He lasted seven years and still
maintains an apartment there
part-time, but he’s got five good
reasons why he won't live there
year-round:

“One day | was sleeping in the
back of a van on the way to work
and some guy drove by and put
five bullet holes in the van and hit
the driver in the hand. My entire
grip crew carries guns on their
bodies when they go to work,”’

But that Hollywood helping
hand, he says, has at the same
time choked off B.C.’s indigenous
film industry. ;

“Hollywood comes here and
trains peop!e in a very professional
manner. Bui they've also trained
us out of an indigenous industry.

“To make films, you need large
crews, and Canada can't afford
that. People, and | fall into this
category, have become used to
getting paid a certain amount of
money, and they're not willing to
accept half the pay and work with
less equipment.”

But sometimes taking a pay cut
is worth it if it means working on a
production like The Lotus Eaters.

Burstyn has worked with enougt
film and TV companies to know
when to draw the line.

And he won't do any more films
that denigrate women (His first
feature, he is loathe to admit, was
the mindless Heavenly Bodies,
which was nothing more than the
chance to watch actor Cynthia
Dale sweat in tight aerobic pants).

What films does he want to do?

“4 just want to work on good
movies,” he says.

He’s still obviously looking for
his Bertolucci.
