Who can forget such classics as Faces, Delta Plane, Log Driver's Waltz and Trading Post? These short films feature subtle humour and remain surprisingly fresh despite being over 30 years old. Make yourself comfortable as you take a trip down memory lane with quick lessons in Canadian history (Fort Prince of Wales, Bill Miner) and portraits of Canadian personalities (Roger Doucet, Stunt Family).
