This is Simon Fraser University

This is Simon Fraser University

Item is a film featuring the sights and sounds of all aspects of attending SFU in early 1970s, from the bus ride to registration to lectures, lunch, and leisure. Current research, issues of the day and the various departments are presented through original lecture audio. Impressions of SFU by students and staff are revealed in interview-style discussion, coupled with thoughtfully shot footage. Interspersed are artistically shot scenes of a sunny campus with a gentle guitar strum. Unlike more contemporary moving image profiles created by SFU, it is not narrated with a script nor overtly promotional.

Z.S. Kiss

Features a brochure from the opening ceremonies of SFU followed by the names of the architects and drawings of the buildings each architect designed. The film shows brief shots of SFU under construction, and ends with footage of the completed SFU buildings from 1965. Some of the footage may possibly have been shot by architect Zoltan S. Kiss.

SFU: The Next Step

Includes sound bites from classrooms and lectures, and closes with pipe band performing and stills of Convocation Mall. Similar in thrust to the 1986 film, "Simon Fraser University: Meeting the Challenge Together."
