‘OPUS’ WINS FIRST PRIZE IN AMERICA Another International Success for COI Film A ‘Hemi’ Award was presented to the Central Office of Information film, OPUS: Impressions of British Art and Culture, at the Hemisfilm ’68 International Festival in San Antonio, Texas. OPUS gained first place in the short film category of the festival.
First Prizes were awarded to OPUS last year at both the Barcelona International Festival of Colour Films and the United Nations Festival of Short Films in Colombia. It also won a Diploma of Merit at the Edinburgh Film Festival and, earlier this year, a Silver Medal at Argentina’s Festival of the Arts.
The 29-minute colour film was made for screening to overseas audiences through the British Information Services and has already been shown in over 100 countries.
OPUS aims to present an exciting impression of the recent upsurge of young talent in sculpture and painting, drama and ballet, architecture and fashion. There is no commentary, but music by leading modern composers accompanies the film. James Archibald and Associates Ltd. were the production company. The film was directed by Don Levy, produced by James Archibald and edited by Hugh Raggett. David Muir was the lighting Cameraman.
