By Jennifer Dysart | 00:08:11 | Documentary, Experimental |

In Caribou in the Archive, rustic VHS home video of a Cree woman hunting caribou in the 1990s is combined with NFB archival film footage of northern Manitoba from the 1950s.

George Bassler’s Perpetual Motion Machine

By Berny Hi | 00:03:30 | Narrative-Fiction | 13/01/2014

Following his family’s untimely demise, prairie homesteader George Bassler bizarrely spends 1945 crafting a Perpetual Motion machine uncannily echoing similarly named inventor Johann Bessler’s 1712 invention, the Perpetuum Mobile.
