Haiti

Pantomime evoking the history of movement in humans performed by Suzanne Rivest.

Equal parts dramatic film, investigative report, and sociological experiment, this feature-length picture is above all a community undertaking. Made in collaboration with a group of residents of Gloucester County, New Brunswick, Canada, the film speaks not just to the community it concerns, but equally to those people who wish to recognize the ever-increasing importance of their social reality.

Pioneers struggle to establish a town in the harsh unsettled wilderness of northern Quebec during the depression.

A questioning filmmaker from Québec finds out how Vancouver's poets and painters look at life and art. Among the people seen are sculptor Donald Jarvis, painters Jack Shadbolt, Joy Long and Margaret Peterson, and printmaker Sing Lim.

The village of Pubnico, located at the southwestern most tip of Nova Scotia, is the oldest Acadian settlement. Almost all of the village's inhabitants are descended from a few families who settled on the peninsula more than three hundred years ago. For two and a half centuries, the village of Pubnico lived in complete isolation. Today, its people have only one occupation: fishing.

A film that witnesses the Acadian awakening and the unprecedented popular awareness that manifested itself in 1972 in northeastern New Brunswick.
