I finally found a full version of McLaren’s Negatives online. WATCH HERE. A ten minute intimate documentary about his life and work by Canadian film-maker Marie-Josée Saint-Pierre from 2006. The editing and composting was done by Kara Blake! Blake and Saint-Pierre co-produced The Delian Mode, an experimental documentary about the legendary Delia Derbyshire (I’ve emailed the website twice about getting a copy to watch but no one replied to me! I need to watch it so badly).
