Der GlÃ¶ckner

By Berny Hi, Chrystene Ells | 00:15:14 | Narrative-Fiction | 20/01/2017

16mm German Expressionist homage film. From his lonely belltower, the aged GlÃ¶ckner (Bellringer) watches the ravages of WWI on the village below. The eventual destruction of all he knows unveils his own soul in the form of a ghostly young girl, who leads him to transcendence through loss and beauty.

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.

Wanderlust 2: Thunder on the Track

By Walter Forsberg | 00:05:15 | Documentary | 1/1/2004

Inspired by 1990s Stock Car crash videos, this micro-documentary gives a glance into the sensational Saskatchewan Lawnmower Racing Circuit. In the hallowed Winnipeg tradition of image degradation, this work demeans cinematic imagery into a bygone videoscopic era of the movies. VHS nostalgia!

Praying Mantis Up Skirt

By Allison Bile, Jennifer Bisch | 00:02:15 | Animation, Experimental | 01/10/2007

A band of insects wreak havoc over the prairies and silly praying mantis canât seem to keep up.

Belt Buckle / Quonset Hut

By Terry Mialkowsky | 00:01:30 | Comedy, Narrative-Fiction | 01/01/2009

A picture and sound love poem to Saskatchewan. Standing firm against the harsh prairie wind and sun, determined and proud: the belt buckle and the quonset hut.

Tales from the Deep

By Clark Ferguson | 00:14:38 | Narrative-Fiction | 01/03/2012

The film follows a small town rural police force as they try to uncover a series of nonsensical suicides caused by single older men drowning within shallow sloughs.

By Berny Hi, Chrystene Ells | 00:09:49 | Narrative-Fiction | 13/11/2011

VÃ©ronique sits in a gilded cage of romantic expectations, impatiently awaiting her chronically late date. She takes to her bicycle in a burst of frustration and embarks on a ride through a looking glass, where she encounters surreal characters and schisms in reality, and undergoes a definitive transformation in consciousness.
