An estimated one million migratory birds slam into Torontos glass buildings every year.

The film offers a rare glimpse into…

PS Kensington

By Dan Browne | 00:02:35 | Documentary, Experimental | 17/08/2005

One of my first experiments with time-lapse, a roll of Super 8 shot during a Pedestrian Sunday in Kensington Market.

Auto Disintegrate

By Adriene Wyse | 00:08:30 | Drama, Narrative-Fiction | 1/3/2004

Dora walks alone through an impersonal city that moves to the beat of traffic lights and the ring of isolating cell phones. A flirtation with death results in a campy musical dream where perfect strangers offer advice to reconnect with a personable reality.

Zwei Indianer Aus Winnipeg

Two ersatz âIndian warriorsâ chase a beautiful Indian maiden through the streets of Winnipeg but she loves Chief Big Bear. Who is the hunter, and who the hunted in this tableau?

Berlin

By Guy Maddin | 00:01:00 | Experimental | 01/01/2008

Maddin's film incorporates found footage to provide a glimpse of wartime Berlin. Crowds of soldiers march in formation, play instruments and engage in training drills.
