Canadian Culture: Special Delivery

Although this isn’t free culture, it’s Canadian culture. I can’t watch videos on the NFB site because it uses a proprietary player. Fortunately for me (and all free software users), NFB makes its video available on YouTube as well. Video on YouTube is accessible with free software, and although it doesn’t license to share it is possible to embed the video here.

This is one of my all time favourite Canadian winter films. It was commissioned by Canada Post, and dates back to the time Canada Post was invested in Canada and had a sense of humour. Although it is a cartoon, it does contain mature subject matter Viewer discretion is advised.

Enjoy this 1978 Oscar Winning NFB short directed by Eunice Macaulay & John Weldon.

BLACK DONNELLYS

SATURDAY MORNING!!

Apollo Cinema

The history of the infamous 1800s feud between the Donnelly family and the town people of Lucan, Ontario is finally being told on the big screen in this highly anticipated local production. After a land dispute went sour, a man lay dead and the Donnellys found themselves in the midst of a growing feud. On one side an Irish immigrant family known for their quick tempers and fighting prowess, on the other side an scorned mob dead set on revenge, and young love caught in the middle . The true story told at last, unbiased and unfettered.
