Jack Shadbolt

A questioning filmmaker from Québec finds out how Vancouver's poets and painters look at life and art. Among the people seen are sculptor Donald Jarvis, painters Jack Shadbolt, Joy Long and Margaret Peterson, and printmaker Sing Lim.

This video is a mini-documentary or news segment made by The Knowledge Network (KNO) interviewing Stephen Arthur on the making of the animated film Transfigured based on transformations of paintings by Jack Shadbolt. It includes an interview with the late Jack Shadbolt. Intended as a “bagger” to air on a live episode of “Studio BC” if time permitted, this television segment was, unfortunately, never aired. Was supposed to air January 8th 1997, released in 2020 by the director.
