This thesis provides an historical description and analysis of Labyrinth, the National Film Board of Canada's pavilion at Montreal's Expo 67. The thesis discusses Labyrinth in the context of traditions of multiscreen cinema and immersive artworks; further it relates the pavilion's structure, film content, and role in Expo within the context of Canadian art traditions and the 1967 centennial celebrations. Analysis of the pavilion is grounded in Bruce Elder's treatise on Canadian cinema entitled "The Cinema We Need". The thesis also explains the technological and formal, connections between Labyrinth and the invention of IMAX cinema.
