Take One

Take One (1966-79) was a Montréal-based film magazine offering criticism and news about international, Canadian, and Hollywood cinema. Founded by Peter Lebensold, Adam Symansky, and John Roston—alumni of the McGill Film Society—its creation coincided with the burgeoning Canadian film industry, which Take One placed in global context. Articles included essays by filmmakers themselves, such as Brian DePalma and Richard Dreyfuss. The magazine concluded its run in 1979 after publishing 81 issues, but remained sufficiently influential that a 1992 Toronto-based magazine took the same title in homage to the original.

‘Images courtesy of Seville Pictures. 14 rl AA . i : If Carl Bessai were an animal, he’d be a jackrabbit: quick, alert, accustomed to taking chances. Instead, he is a Vancouver filmmaker, which is helpful because I’ve come to his office to talk about film, specifically about Emile, his latest movie. He fidgets in his chair like a man unaccustomed to sitting still, crossing and uncrossing his legs, slipping his socked feet underneath him. His untucked blue T-shirt precisely matches his eyes and the blue frames of his glasses. When our conversation turns to the loaded topic of the film’s funding, he runs his hand through his spiky blond hair. “Putting the money together for Ezmile was a nightmare,” Bessai recalls. “It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done.” DECEMBER 20038 — MARCH 2004 CARL BESSAI’S MOST EXCELLENT ADVENTURE IN MAKING EMILE WITH SIR IAN MCKELLEN
