UP RIVER
Roll Out Save Tail, John Woods, BC, 3m, Documentary
In 2010, Technicolor closed its film lab in Vancouver – the first
step of what would become a very quick worldwide retreat.
Within three years, Kodak was bankrupt and Technicolor
closed its Hollywood lab. The day before the wreckers came,
I toured what was left of the Vancouver lab.
Arcadia, Rick Fisher, Manitoba, 5m, Experimental
Arcadia uncovers some unpleasant truths about idealized
pastoral landscapes.
Mend and Make Do
Bexie Bush, UK, 8m, animation
Cup of tea? Come and take a seat in Lyn’s cosy front room, hear
her story of wartime love and watch as her belongings come
alive with the hope, fear and humour of one spirited lady.
Schedryck, Kalli Paakspuu, ON, 4m, Experimental
Shchedryk is designed to pulse with the centuries long
resistance of Ukrainians to colonization. A dance of colour,
tone, line and rhythm, in the spirit of Canadian experimental
animator Norman McLaren, featuring jazz artist Paul Hoffert
in a piano improvisation of the song named, ‘Shchedryk’.
