Hugh O'Connor (1924 - September 20, 1967) was a Canadian television journalist and documentary filmmaker, who worked for the National Film Board of Canada. Recognized as one of Canada's leading filmmakers, he was known for developing cutting-edge technology in his documentaries, including the five-camera, five-screen film In the Labyrinth, one of the highlights of Montreal's Expo 67. The film split elements across five screens and also combined them for a mosaic of a single image. This inspired Canadian filmmaker Norman Jewison to apply similar techniques to The Thomas Crown Affair. In the Labyrinth was the earliest inspiration for the revolutionary IMAX film format.
