RE: Karajan's Bata film contract?
If it was, what about reading it as
"Karajan's *barter* film contract".
Does it make sense?
Not to me :-). I doubt von K. would be making a film contract involving
bartering instead of money.
Does anyone know or can anyone guess what "Bata" is like?
Is it a name of a film company?
I think so, but I don't know why I think so.
Searching for +bata +film at yahoo leads me to
http://w.cba.neu.edu/~hvernonwortzel/syl1338.htm
which is the syllabus for a business course, including the showing of a
``Bata film''. (Search for Bata.) I guess you could write to
hvernon@neu.edu, who authored that page, for more info.
I also see that Timothy Findley, maker of The Wars, came to the Bata
Library at Trent University (in Canada) last fall. That seems quite a
coincidence. I wonder if the Trent people would be able to answer
definitively.
Finally, whenever music and film comes up, I think of Bruno
Monsaingeon. If you are in contact with him, you might try.
Hope this helps.
