Resumen del Editor

To Vic Sarin, film is a window to magic. Touching people with his art and celebrating the human side comes through in every chapter of this audiobook, just as is comes through in every one of his films. His trailblazing, gung-ho approach to film making is remarkable and inspiring beyond any question of a doubt. His stories about John Lennon, Prince Charles, Christopher Plummer, Paul Gross, Helena Bonham Carter, Dennis Hopper, Indira Gandhi, Adrienne Clarkson, Dalai Lama and many others will captivate film professionals, film students, film buffs, as well as the general public.

In Gung Ho Filmmaking, (known in print edition as Eyepiece: Adventures in Canadian Film and Television) brilliant Kashmiri/Canadian Vic lays out the landscape of his life, focusing on highlights of his over 150 documentary and dramatic films. As a cinematographer, he captured the cinematic beauty of many well-loved Canadian films such as Bye-Bye Blues (Wheeler, 1989), Margaret’s Museum (Zimmer, 1995), and also directed his own award-winning work such as Partition (2007) and A Shine of Rainbows (2009).

The book charts his 25 years at CBC television on shows like The Fifth Estate, The National News, Front Page Challenge, and Telescope, and progresses through his extraordinary film and documentary accomplishments.
