Simon Fraser University moving images collection
Campus development: audio visual recordings

University profiles: audio visual recordings

Disjointed series of shots taken at SFU. Each section is only a few frames and focuses on the buildings, students and scientific experiments and equipment. Opening shows backhoe removing partly burned trees (presumably clearing for campus). Next shot is of AQ and red mosaic mural in background, and "swamp" in foreground where reflecting pond is now located.

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.
Gaglardi Way: The Road to the Top
A "Portland Cement Association On-the-job Report." Features footage and a narrative describing the paving of Gaglardi Way. Includes shots of SFU campus under construction and a brief interview with Highways Minister Phil Gaglardi. Film ends with vehicles driving the newly paved road.
Item is a short segment from the CBC television production, A Sense of Place: "This series of four half-hour broadcasts, which ran during the month of October in 1966, examined three main examples of new architecture in Canada. They are Vancouver's Simon Fraser University, Scarborough College in Toronto, and Habitat in Montreal." Also held by SFU Library's Media Resource Centre: "Discusses the work of Arthur Erickson and Geoffrey Massey, as exemplified by Simon Fraser University."

"Simon Fraser University Construction, 1964-65" (CBC)
Appears to be several films copied one after the other (scenes silent, interviews with sound). Features the development and construction of SFU from signing official papers and architectural models of campus through to breaking ground, construction, student registration and opening ceremonies. Interviews with key figures (Gordon Shrum, Patrick McTaggart-Cowan, Ron Baker, etc.) throughout as construction progresses. Includes clips of Gaglardi Way paving and brief interview with Highways Minister Gaglardi himself (same interview as in "Gaglardi Way: The Road to the Top"), as well as interview with workers polishing the jade boulder. Several interviewers (presumably all CBC?), including one identifying himself as "Ken Johnson, CBC News, on Burnaby Mountain." No opening or closing credits, apart from SFU's IMC (Instructional Media Centre) noted at start.
Series consists of miscellaneous moving images generally relating to SFU, but which do not fit elsewhere in the Archives' extant collections and for which acquisition was a one-off or unknown.

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.
