Synopsis
A film poem about �neighbourhood�. It was inspired by the filmmaker-poet�s shooting images in and around a middle class Vancouver neighbourhood over the period of a year. The act of looking through the camera�s lense caused him to realize what wasn�t there to see. That even though there weren�t any physical fences to keep out the poor, the less �beautiful�, somehow they were missing from the resulting footage. Other, less visible, but nevertheless powerful, forces were at work to very effectively exclude, to create distinct �neighbourhoods�.
The poem explores how these divisions are anything but innocent, as we can plainly see when they become more visible in times of crisis.
