I just don't have a lot to post about. Yes, my life is that dull.
Yesterday, I went to a screening of two films about/set in Toronto in the 1970s, at the Planet in Focus Film and Video Festival. I saw The Strip, which was actually an urban geography project by two grade 8 students in 1973, Ron Mann (who grew up to become a documentary filmmaker) and Cliff Librach, and featured great footage of Yonge Street at that time. The other was Don Shebib's Goin' Down the Road, which was just utterly fantastic, even though the Library and Archives of Canada completely botched the transfer from 35mm to Betamax (the reels were out of sequence and the transfer was very dark). Shebib was in the audience, along with a few of the cast members and their families, and he was just so utterly gracious about the whole thing that what could have been a pretty annoying experience was almost a cocktail party.
