William Weintraub
William Weintraub, (February 19, 1926 – November 6, 2017) was a Canadian journalist, author, filmmaker and lecturer, known for his long association with Canada's National Film Board (NFB).
Born and educated in Montreal, Weintraub graduated from McGill University where he had worked on the "McGill Daily".
He began his career as a reporter at "The Montreal Gazette" in the 1950s, later moving to "Weekend" magazine.
His experience in journalism provided the basis for Weintraub's 1961 novel
"Why Rock the Boat?" and his 2001 memoir "Getting Started".
Among Weintraub's contemporaries and friends were authors Mordecai Richler, Mavis Gallant, Norman Levine and Brian Moore.
Weintraub's satirical 1979 novel "The Underdogs" provoked controversy by imagining a future socialist republic of Quebec, in which English-speakers were an oppressed minority, complete with a violent resistance movement.
One planned stage version was cancelled before its premiere, but another version was later a hit at the Just For Laughs festival.
In a film career spanning decades, Weintraub was involved with more than 150 NFB productions, serving variously as writer, producer and director.
Productions ranged from "Canada: Beef Cattle" to historical documentaries to a portrait of Canadian writer Margaret Laurence.
His 1993 documentary "The Rise and Fall of English Montreal" dealt with
the second large Quebec diaspora that began in the 1960s and accelerated rapidly after the 1976 Quebec election.
The "National Post" wrote that he said that Torontonians should express their gratitude to a major benefactor of the city and erect a very large heroic statue at the head of Bay Street of former Premier of Quebec René Lévesque.
Weintraub published four books after his seventieth birthday including "City Unique" (1996), an exploration of English Montreal in the 1940s and 1950s, which received the QSPELL Prize for Non-Fiction from the Quebec Writers' Federation Awards.
In 2003, he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada.

A Matter of Fat
A Matter of Fat is a 1969 documentary film by William Weintraub chronicling the efforts of a 358-pound man, Gilles Lorrain, to lose half his body weight as part of a hospital supervised weight loss program.
In the film, Lorrain recounts his life and experiences, often with humour.
In one 21-second time lapse sequence, Weintraub shows Lorrain's 150-pound weight loss, filmed at two frames a day for seven months.
The film also shows Lorrain's return to his family after the gruelling program, and his conviction that he will be one of one in four dieters who can keep the weight off.
In addition to focusing on Lorrain's story, the film explores what other obese people are doing to lose weight, and hears from medical authorities on misconceptions and practices in the weight loss industry.
"A Matter of Fat" also motivated the film's director to lose weight.
Produced by the National Film Board of Canada, "A Matter of Fat" features narration by Lorne Greene.
The film received four awards, including the Etrog Award for Best Film
Over 30 Minutes.
