First Engine, The

By Ian Campbell | 00:06:33 | Animation, Documentary | 01/03/2015

At the dawn of the 20th century the horse was supplanted by a new means of power. This new invention is making itself known across the prairies of North America. Soon it will make its presence felt in a most radical way.

Isolated Gestures

By Kent Tate | 00:12:11 | Documentary, Experimental | 15/06/2014

There are places that we seek, and there are places that find us. One can never know for sure which comes first; the seeking or the finding. Often the unexpected moment occurs, the unforeseen discoveries, the meaning of which is informed by how one perceives that moment.

George Bassler’s Perpetual Motion Machine

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

Following his familyâs untimely demise, prairie homesteader George Bassler bizarrely spends 1945 crafting a Perpetual Motion machine uncannily echoing similarly named inventor Johann Besslerâs 1712 invention, the Perpetuum Mobile. Based on actual events, this film explores obsession with employing mechanical devices to trick time and make everything last forever.

A visual meditation on who we believe ourselves to be as humans, what we expect of each other and how we connect.

Floating World, The

By Ian Campbell | 00:08:32 | Experimental, Narrative-Fiction | 01/06/2012

A man emerges from a heavily forested area of northern Saskatchewan to discover that all the people in his home town have disappeared.

The 1980s saw the birth of prairie post-modern cinema, a Winnipeg art movement that gained major international acclaim.
