Thompson produced the film with his longtime partner, Alexander Hammid, and showed it at the 1964-65 New York Fair. Silleck described Be as a simple film that sought to convey the joy of life, and he said the multiscreen projection, while not a new technique, inspired the Canadian filmmakers who went on to create Imax films, the big-screen shows that seem to bring the audience into the film. Mr. Thompson later directed and produced several Imax films. Mr.
Thompson also directed the 1957 movie N.Y.,’’ an abstractlook at a day in the life of New York City. He shot it through special lenses, prisms and mirrors, giving it a look that was a touch cubist and a touch dadaist, Silleck said. Born in Titusville, Mr. Thompson was a member of the Directors Guild of America.
