Oscar C. Burritt

Oscar C. Burritt (1908–1974) was a Canadian cinéaste, cinematographer, documentary film director and editor, and television film consultant. In the 1930s, while working as a lino- and carpet-layer for his family's Vancouver business (Burritt Brothers Carpets), he became keenly interested in international cinema, eventually becoming a self-taught expert on the subject. Burritt's filmmaking efforts began with some accomplished amateur films made in the years 1938–1944. Later, as a film professional, he served in key roles at Vancouver Motion Pictures, Shelley Films, and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Toronto television station, CBLT.
