Magdalene

By Cathy Hall | 00:06:04 | Drama, Narrative-Fiction | 1/1/1985

The emotional and mental life of a homeless bag lady obsessed with Marlene Dietrich. A comical but sympathetic glimpse into the imaginary world of a woman who is beautiful in spirit, but sad of heart. Jarringly close to our own realities, and our own limitations in life.

Bernie, a squeegee kid who struggles to survive in the city, finds a friend in Mo, a veteran of the streets who chooses to live and paint in the alley. The Alley is a story of friendship and compassion between two unlikely street people, an old man and a young teenager.

Riff Raff

By Rob Haacke | 00:03:00 | Experimental | 1/2/2004

Riff Raff is a real life glimpse of city panhandlers and the lives they lead. This hand-processed film presents rough urban outcasts in a distinctly luminous style.

…life happens

By Mark Borowski | 00:22:00 | Narrative-Fiction | 1/1/2005

Matthew Young, an Aboriginal street poet chooses to move back to Winnipeg to search for a new existence. He is growing weary of the street life and the perils it poses. He must overcome his personality traits to find a job and a place to call his own.

Sister

By Ervin Chartrand | 00:12:00 | Narrative-Fiction | 01/01/2007

A young boy curious about where his older sister goes at night ventures out with a friend late one evening to uncover the truth.

Welcome

By Daniel Gerson | 00:08:30 | Narrative-Fiction | 01/01/2008

Scuttling through the decrepit and impoverished city streets that comprise his only playground, a young boy lives in social peril. The stark, vérité, imagery reveals the alienating effects of urban neglect; places where nature has started to reclaim what society has squandered. Welcome was filmed on location in Winnipeg's crumbling and disenfranchised Chinatown district.
