Synopsis

Souvenirs is a trio of short films about the city of Winnipeg, which sift through the accumulated layers of history, experience and identity of a place which we, collectively, call home. • Sand and Stone (6:00) digs up the history of hard labour and the urban landscape—the workers who sweated its surfaces and shapes, and the primary materials they used to construct a city. • Watermarks (11:00) travels the emotional currents evoked by the experience of flooding in the lives of city dwellers, and looks for the imprints left behind after the waters recede. • Waiting for the Parade (7:20) transforms the 75th anniversary celebration of Winnipeg in 1948 into a discourse on the city's shifting identities through decades of progress and regress, cynicism and hope.
