Notice biographique
Born in Toronto in 1927, Christopher Chapman was an innovative Canadian filmmaker and documentarian. He was best known for "A Place to Stand", produced for the Ontario Pavilion at Expo 67 and for which he won an Academy Award. "A Place to Stand" represented the beginning of IMAX technology, and Chapman pioneered the “multiple dynamic images” technique, used in movies including "The Thomas Crown Affair" and "Airport" and later known as the “Brady Bunch effect.” His later work focused on IMAX films and 3-D films, done in partnership with his twin brother Francis. He was the recipient of several film awards and medals; served as president of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts and of the Directors Guild of Canada; received an honorary doctorate from Ryerson University; and was named to the Order of Canada (1987). He married Aljean Pert in 1962; they had one son, Julian, but Aljean died in 1971. He married Barbara Glen Kennedy in 1974. Christopher Chapman died in Uxbridge, Ontario on 24 October 2015.
