Filmpool's 35th in 35 seconds
HD Video , 40 seconds (with credits) , colour, 2012
I took the sort piece of "Happy Birthday" being sung for the Saskatchewan Filmpool at the 35th anniversary of its day of incorporating as a co-operative, and stretched it to 35 seconds. Images from the party including Gordon Pepper, Berny Hi, Brett Bell, Don List, and other staff, board, and members. The balloon on the floor seemed so forlorn that I needed to shoot it. I guess I was feeling that 35 is not as important a year as 10 or 20 or 25, all anniversaries I have been involved in. Celebrating every fifth year can feel a bit desperate. I can't remember my own 35th birthday party. VIDEO
