Canned Meat
Created by: Terril Calder Running time: 28 mins Country of Origin: Canada Language: English
Things had gone stale all around Ida Calder and her illusions had expired. All of her hope fermented. When things were no longer looking so lovely for her she decided to lock herself away as not to deface her youthful image. "Canned Meat" is set in a rural Canadian trailer park as we follow Ida on a surreal stop motion animated journey through the depths of her mind and body to discover if there was ever really a person in there?
From Turf Cottage to the Cover of TIME, the Dramatic Life of Holger Cahill A fresh new documentary about the life of Sveinn Kristjan Bjarnarson, aka Holger Cahill, who emigrated from Iceland to Canada at the age of 2, and then arrived in New York at the age of 27; he changed his name, age, and birthplace. He later became acting director of MoMA; his work shifted the center of the art world from Paris to New York. |
