Synopsis

"Considering the fertile creative environment that existed at the Winnipeg Film Group during this period it is not surprising that there was such a volume of production, nor is it surprising that the quality was so high. What is puzzling is that so many of the films explored thematically similar terrain. The filmmakers that had the courage to venture into drama, and the confidence to produce longer and more complex films were marshalling their resources to explore predominantly one theme, isolation." (John Kozak, guest curator)

The second DVD in a historical collection from the Winnipeg Film group, Isolation In The 1980s features four short films from Winnipeg Film Group filmmakers during the 1980s. The DVD is guest curated by John Kozak (Dory, Hellbent) and includes audio commentary with the filmmakers.
