Colin Low
Blackwood
Oscar nominated film! Richly woven of fine threads that mingle and separate, surface and disappear, this poetic film studies the works of one of Canada's greatest contemporary etchers: David Blackwood. Scenes of his hometown outport, examples of his masterfully crafted prints, and the vivid tales of an old mariner recall the tragic seal hunts and a way of life that has now vanished.
My Financial Career
An animated cartoon film from Stephen Leacock's witty account of a young man's first brush with banking. When he goes to make his deposit he is so overawed by the institution that nothing he intends to say comes out right. Oscar nominee!
City of Gold
Oscar nominated film! A vivid recollection of the Klondike gold rush at its frenzied height, this film uses a collage of still photographs to compare Dawson City of the gold rush, when the gold from its river beds flowed freely through the stores, taverns and dance halls, with the more tranquil Dawson City of the present.
