Arthur Hammond
Arthur Hammond was a British-born Canadian documentary filmmaker, writer, and executive who spent more than two decades at the National Film Board of Canada (NFB). After immigrating to Canada in the mid-1950s, he transitioned from publishing to film, joining the NFB in Montreal during the 1960s.
As a director and producer, Hammond specialized in social, corporate, and political documentaries. He is best known for co-directing the acclaimed media profile Never a Backward Step (1966)—which won the Canadian Film Award for Best Feature Length Documentary—and directing the landmark six-part CBC television series Corporation (1975) and the multi-part historical series Imperfect Union: Canadian Labour and the Left (1989). Hammond also served as the NFB's Director of English Programming before retiring to Toronto, where he lived until his death at age 92.
