Summary:
124 minutes, color stereo in french with english subtitles. In Play Time, Tati's character, M. Hulot, and a group of American tourists attempt to navigate a futuristic Paris constructed of straight lines, modernist glass and steel high-rise buildings, multi-lane roadways, and cold, artificial furnishings. In this environment, only the irrepressible nonconformity of human nature and an occasional appreciation for the good old days breathe life into an otherwise sterile urban lifestyle. Modern industrial technologies, accepted as necessary by society, are represented by Tati as obstructions to daily life and an interference to natural human interaction.

Summary:
Rappel historique des premières constructions des Autochtones et de celles des pionniers qui étaient en harmonie avec leur environnement. Ce film, réalisé trois ans après la crise pétrolière de 1973, présente quelques innovations en planification urbaine illustrées à partir de l'exemple des communautés minières de Fermont au Quéébec et de Leaf Rapids au Manitoba. Ces villes ont été planifiées en fonction du climat nordique et de l'utilisation minimale de l'automobile. Du côté innovation architecturale, on voit la construction de la maison solaire Provident House à Aurora en Ontario, ainsi que la maison The Ark à l'Île-du-Prince-Edouard qui permettra un mode de vie autarcique.

Summary:
In Immemory, Marker uses the format of the CD-ROM to create a multilayered, multimedia memoir. The reader investigates “zones” of travel, war, cinema and poetry, navigating through photographs, film clips, music and text, as if physically exploring Marker’s memory itself. The result is a veritable twenty-first century Remembrance of Things Past, an exploration of the state of memory in our digital era. With it, Marker has both invented a literary form and perfected it. System Requirements: Mac OS X 10.4.11 or later, including 10.5 Leopard.

Summary:
Award Winning Director Guy Maddin (The Heart of the World) continues in the freewheeling, genre-bending tradition that has made him one of Canada's most intriging and internationally respected artists with his latest work, My Winnipeg. My Winnipeg is a documentary (or docu-fantasia, as he describes it) about his hometown. Equal parts mystical rumination and personal history, city chronicle and deranged fantasy. My Winnipeg -which is framed as a goodbye letter - blends local myth with childhood trauma. A deliriously layered provocation, My Winnipeg is outrageous, informative and wildy entertaining.
