Legendary Montreal producer Harry Gulkin, who recently died at 90, was a bridge-builder, respected as much among francos as anglos. Gulkin, once the president of the Canadian Film Institute and vice-president of the Cinémathèque québécoise, was best known for producing the iconic Montreal-made Lies My Father Told Me (Ján Kadár, 1975). Focusing on the heartwarming bond between a 7-year-old boy and his eccentric grandfather, the film was hailed as a Canadian classic. It is the only Canadian production to win the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film. Gulkin also produced the films Two Solitudes (Lionel Chetwynd, 1978), an adaptation of Hugh MacLennan’s bestselling novel, and Jacob Two-Two Meets the Hooded Fang (Theodoe J. Flicker, 1978), an adaptation of the Mordecai Richler children’s fantasy. After leaving production, Gulkin went on to work as an analyst at SODEC, where he helped spearhead such Québécois offerings as Denys Arcand’s Les Invasions barbares and François Girard’s Cargo.Restaured version by Éléphant : mémoire du cinéma québécoisFREE event.
