Divine Comedy in Castlegar

"Tom McGauley, formerly a student at SFU, has returned to his home town in the Kootenays, working as postman and viewing life through the eyes of a poet. Through Tom's friend, seventy-eight year old George Padowinikoff, we get a glimpse of Doukhobor history, which is so much a part of the life in Castlegar. The main thrust of the film is to present the totality of "heaven, hell, and purgatory" that is anybody's life." [http://troy.lib.sfu.ca/record=b5527063~S1a]

Disposable

Also held by "Moving Images Distribution" in 16mm format: "Disposable is an experimental narrative in black and white with post colour tinting. It metaphorically contrasts North American "disposable"cultural forms such as video, Polaroid, and graffiti with more enduring cultural traditions in Europe. With a juxtaposition of music from Nega-vision and Beethoven, and pop absurdist dialogue, the film satirically comments on America's consumerism and amnesia about history. Award: Best Film, Berlin Short Film Festival" 14 min., 1984 [http://www.movingimages.ca/catalogue/Experimental/Experimental_b.html#RTFToC10a]
