Background

 
Commissioned as a presentation for the ‘Terre des Hommes’ annual exhibition held on the site of Expo 67 in Montreal, where it was premiered to the public on July 17, 1969 and presented continuously daily until September 7, 1969 in a 300-capacity cinema (formerly the Canadian National pavilion venue for the 70mm film "Motion"), and subsequently released theatrically in 35mm anamorphic and 16mm letterbox versions.

A many-faced view of humanity, of global man in all his forms and interests. Produced originally in 70 mm (with stereophonic sound) for showing at Man and His World, the Montréal fair that succeeded Expo 67, this film employs the multi-image technique. People of all places, origins, cultures, secular and religious, are here united and seen side by side, creating an impressive, inspiring and challenging portrait. The film's title appears in seven languages. Film without words.

Promotional Text (1969) (transcribed)

 

This is a multi-image presentation of Man himself - man in all his variety, the universal man that Expo 67 did so much to proclaim. Much of the film is taken from film made during or for showing at the 1967 world exhibition in Montreal, but it is an imaginative style of borrowing. Often only details were lifted and enlarged from the original shooting. And in "Multiple Man", several pictures appear on the screen at the same time, so that the audience has the chance to compare. What is compared is the way Man is - in many places, at many occupations, pleasures, pursuits.

This is a film that introduced a new way of presenting films on the screen, a new way of looking at humanity, and that at the same time recalls for many viewers the pleasures they shared themselves when Expo 67 brought them to Montreal and to the world community in the St. Lawrence River.

The film title appears in seven languages (English, French, Spanish, German, Russian, Hindi and Japanese).
