Movies

Fifth Metacarpal
Director
"I broke my hand last summer." A memoir of tenderness hazarded, muted ache, and a fibreglass cast.
Trigger Warning
Director
ACAB An examination of everyday household objects based on a list published in the December, 2016 issue of Harper's Magazine, shot on a camera shaped like a gun.
FAG
Director
"Really, when it comes to gay rights, there's two wars going on. The first war is political, but the culture war is over." - Dan Savage. How do you transgress in 2015? Don't bother. A personal Venn diagram, a conceptual cobbling together of interests and identifiers, a sound and animation experiment rendered in all 260 fonts on my MacBook. Please play loud."
Dingbat's Revenge
Director
Can an experimental animator follow contemporary Hollywood logic? New ideas are out of fashion; everything's a trilogy. Laser-printed onto recycled 16mm film in 2015, Dingbat's Revenge is a coded, stroboscopic manifesto pitched somewhere between abstraction and representation. "Can you feel that? We're done here. Move out of the way or I'm gonna run you over." - Tony Stark.

Director
Four Winnipeg houses as documented by reporter Lillian Gibbons, with illustrations by Arlene Osen.
Bruce's Borders
