Film Format: 16mm

  • All Form, No Substance

    A witty exploration of the mid-1980’s trend of excessive film techniques that seem to add very little substance to a film.

  • 24 Store, The

    Before there was “Clerks,” there was this low-budget comedy from Regina about Phil’s Confectionery. The store is being put out of business by a franchise convenience store down the street. Filmmaker Brian Stockton leads a cast of other filmmakers in this charming, low-key comedy about city life on the prairies.

  • Final Gift, The

    A collaboration between the filmmaker and his grandmother, Edythe Stockton. Shot in a single five-minute take, Edythe reads a poignant short story she wrote, based on her time as a minister in a small prairie town. Filmed in Maryfield, Saskatchewan, Canada.

  • Floting of Mike, The

    The year is 1986, the camcorder has just been invented, and the documentary will never be the same! Filmmaker Brian Stockton follows eccentric Regina broadcaster Mike Benny as he spends his last days in Regina before moving to BC. The camera is traded back and forth between the filmmaker and the subject, bringing a new, fresh, casual approach to the documentary form.

  • Revenge of the Blob Thing

    The Blob Thing returns in this long-awaited sequel! Even more depressed than usual, the Blob Thing tries to forget his long-lost love and carry on, but not before trying to off himself a few times.

  • Blob Thing, The

    The very first adventure of the perpetually depressed lump of clay. After watching a horror movie about an evil blob menace on TV, the Blob Thing tries to end it all with hilarious results. A masterpiece of no-budget stop-motion animation.

  • Burial Path

    The film begins with the image of a dead bird. The mind moves to forget, as well as to remember: this film, in the tradition of THOT-FAL’N, graphs the process of forgetfulness against all oddities of remembered bird-shape. The film might best be seen along with “Sirius Remembered” and “The Dead,” as the third part of a trilogy.

  • Centre

    A series of narrative events, stories if you like, but so clustered visually as to have a centre, so to speak, slightly off centre.

  • Clancy

    This is a portrait of the man I choose to call “the greatest I’ve known”: Clancy, whom the fates surnamed Sheehy, personifies for me that which is simply human beyond condition and all conditioning.

  • Creation

    “… almost like the Earth itself – the green ice-covered rocks, the slicing feeling, the compressive feeling of the glaciers. The whole time I was watching I kept thinking that you were a master of the North, the arctic landscape – the dark red flowers in the dusky light, the deep blue light, the tall trees with the running mists, and Jane looking… the ice, the water, the moss, the golden light. A visual symphony…” – Hollis Melton
