CLAIRTONE - A NEW FEATURE LENGTH DOCUMENTARY BY RON MANN
PRODUCED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH BELL MEDIA’S CRAVE
Acclaimed director Ron Mann delves into the captivating rise and fall of CLAIRTONE, an audacious Canadian electronics company founded by Peter Munk and David Gilmour during the vibrant 1960s.
Renowned for their high-end stereos and colour televisions that epitomized iconic mid-century design, CLAIRTONE soared to international acclaim, becoming a symbol of Canadian ingenuity and modernity.
However after six years of spectacular growth, CLAIRTONE's collision with economic challenges led to their dramatic decline.
