Doing this on a yearly basis instead of every two years means we will probably have all the best recent Canadian films at the travel, animation, television drama and childrens films. Vermette, who became involved about 10 years ago, emphasizes quality when he speaks of the future. As it stabilizes as a Canadian short-film competition, as it gets a yearly continuity to it it will probably become, if not the short-film festival for the Canadian film-maker, at least one of very few top, front-line tion committee now determines what is acceptable for competition. Volunteers run the festival, which depends on government grants to survive. The last festival cost $38,000.

Vermette said a consistent percentage of Yorkton residents come to see the public screenings, with attendance between 200 and 450 a night.

Joan Darling, an actress who has become one of the first full-time women movie directors in the United States, still fights the sexual stereotype that dies hard in movieland. When I was in college studying acting, people would ask me to direct scenes, Joan said in an interview. I felt so masculine I couldnt stand myself. I would wear jeans and smoke. I felt tough and powerful and unattractive, and I knew that no man would like me." She became an actress instead.

From the time I was three, I thought that being in the movies meant you could be the person you were playing, she said. I thought you got to be a doctor or a reporter or a rich person for two years or so. She did Shakespeare, off-Broadway, Broadway and television. But people were still asking her to direct. Norman Lear first convinced Darling to direct the pilot and some episodes of the television series, Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.

Then she directed an Emmy-win-ning segment of the Mary Tyler Moore show and was signed for more episodes. But her early doubts lingered. I used to come home 9 CONCERTS AT SINGLE PRICES YORKTON (CP) A film festival of international significance is not the first thing one thinks of when visiting this community of 15,000 in the parkland area of Saskatchewan, 189 kilometres northeast of Regina. Yorkton, with its mix of ethnic backgrounds and its surrounding agricultural economy, will attract a larger crowd for a bull sale than it will for the film festival, said Elwyn Vermette, the 35-year-old chairman of the event. But the level of community support is high, he said, even if the whole town doesn't want to attend the fall event.

The Yorkton International Film Festival, which last year gave prizes to two films that later won an Oscar and an Oscar nomination, was born as a community event. It started as a film council, said Vermette, a high-school media specialist. One of its original objectives was to train projectionists. We had got past the showman stage where the National Film Board had a travelling projector and projectionists and there were projectors in schools and churches and public organi- 1 zations. All of them had the problem of operators so they started to train projectionists.

Shortly after they began operating, they decided they would hold a festival of films. As you train projectionists, you want to see films. The festival has been going every two years since 1947. From the start Antoinette (Nettie) Kryski has had the chore of writing letters to attract films. She said the festival has grown about as big as it can.

More than 300 films were entered in the 1977 edition. It was never intended to have a festival of the magnitude it is today, said Vermette. Two festivals ago we introduced a conference component for the western Canadian film-maker. So that started drawing the filmmakers. We expanded that at the last festival to include not only a conference but an educational component.

It is getting to be a gathering place for western Canadian filmmakers. The next festival will be held in the week of Nov. 12 next year. It becomes an annual event then and filmmakers from outside Canada will be invited to display their efforts but not compete for awards, which include the Golden Sheaf, the festivals grand prize. Were getting the best Canadian films, but we would like the best international films for the benefit of Canadian film-makers.

But upgrading the festival at the international level cuts down on the number of quality Canadian films that we can accept in the competition. Vermette said exposure for films of an hour or less has become a festival drawing card. Some of the films that have taken major awards in the festival have been able to move commercially as a result. A film technician, a performer and a critic screen entries during the week-long event. Vermette said the 150 films the judges were asked to look at last time were too many for them.

It also convinced her that directing was in her blood. I could never give up the stimulation of directing, she now says. Its a hard job and very exhausting. You really are the general of an army. But its so stimulating.

All directors become junkies for directing." Her latest project is a mans story, The Boys of Summer, based on a bestseller about the Brooklyn Dodgers. She credits the women's liberation movement for some of her new freedom to direct films on any subject that interests her.

Star Wars starts war LOS ANGELES (AP) -The forces of 20th Century-Fox are facing those of Universal studios in a U.S. District Court battle over Star Wars.

Fox contends in a federal suit that Universals forthcoming ABC television series, Battle Star Galactica, infringes upon its copyright of Star Wars, the most profitable movie of all time. Universal has not replied to the Fox suit, but production is continuing on the ABC series. and brilliance of the German composer's work, moving into a lyrical slower movement. The brilliant Finale was a showcase for exciting and dazzling cello work. Again on the piano, there could have been more brilliance of tone to complement the cellist.

Two Sonatas opened the program. Marcellos major for cello and piano and Beethovens A major, Opus 69 for piano and cello. The duo met and played together in Salzburg, where the Saskatchewan-born Mahood completed three years of study and where Herrmann became principal cellist. This association led to the planning of the present western tour by the two musicians. The programs began June 16, with four concerts arranged in Manitoba.

The centres chosen were Stein-bach, Winnipeg, Dauphin and Brandon. Tuesdays concert was the final one of four, given in Saskatchwan. Other stops in this province included Grenfell, Regina and Swift Current. The duo continues with four concerts in Alberta, at Edmonton, Red Deer, Banff and Jasper. The general effect of the concert was one of a musical treat.

It is not often that Chamber Concerts of cello and piano are presented. Thus the repertoire is much less familiar than for other ensembles. Nevertheless, the inclusion of the works by Gramattee was of real interest to Saskatoons audience, especially since the Saskatoon Symphonys performance of one of her early works, Llle. The sensitive reading of the Duo Concertante and the La- grima will make the contemporary composer one of the most popular with Western audiences. 74.25 65.25 54.00 20995 stereo Pioneer 8 JOAN DARLING full-time director from MTM and say to my husband, Do I look awful? Do I smell sweaty? I would feel so ugly.

1 Then one day I realized what was the matter with me, she said. I was standing there on the set all day with no artifice. It was strictly me not an actress in a role. As soon as I connected it up, I stopped feeling that way. Last year, Darling directed her first feature film.

First Love, a gentle, explicitly sexual story of a college love affair. The film was a modest financial success and won some good reviews. It was an odd first movie for me, she said. It was such a feminine movie, such a sweet, soft, sensitive story people would expect a woman to direct it. But First Love won her an invitation to set up offices at hardt-Gramatte Duo Concer-tante for cello and piano and the Strauss Sonata in major, Opus 6.

And on this tour, La-grima by S. C. Eckhardt-Gramatte is being premiered in its original version for cello and piano. The first was written in a poetic style, the composer using long, flowing, melodic lines to express deep sadness. Here, Herrmann drew from his Lupot cello some of the most beautiful sounds of the evening.

The middle section began with a passionate outburst of song, then subsided again into the unbearable grief of the opening pas-sages. Pianist Mahood supported the cello with dark, bass lines, but could have used a little more volume of sound to underline the emotional nature of the work. The Strauss Sonata was generally well balanced between the two instruments. The Allegro invoked the fire clude in mid-July, when the performers will begin a 10-week tour. Tahn says the production will portray the Indian culture in a positive way, in hopes of creating a better in-tercultural understanding and having the native culture acknowledged as an integral part of the Saskatchewan heritage.

Tahn is now taking bookings for the summer tour, and hopes to reach as many of the smaller communities as possible.

Track fs ee QlL 00OO ZW'5 Under dash 8-track car stereo Program repeat bottom Fast forward Bass control Review By Muriel Leeper Leeper is a Saskatoon free-lance music writer A brilliant concert duo, Cornelius Herrmann, cello and Miriam Mahood, piano, Tuesday presented a program of Chamber Music at the Saskatoon Public Library. Herrmann, principal cel-loist of the Mozarteum Or-chester in Salzburg, Austria, not only has the incredible speed and technique one would expect, but the artistic temperament to imbue his music with intensity and emotion, when it is needed. Rhythmically, the duo was of one mind.

But although Mahood matched the cellist in lyricism and grace, she lacked his inner fire during the second half of the program. The highlights of the concert for many were the Eck- House Theatre and directed by Andy Tahn. In addition to Suknaski, Tahn has announced the entire cast for the production, which will be based on one or two aspects of the Indian culture and how it is an integral part of the Saskatchewan heritage. Ruth Smillie, Sharon Stearns, Lindsey Lambert, John Dibben, Duane Ahde-mar, Lisa Reitapple and John Agius have been visiting communities in the province, in search of information for the play.
