In October I posted a piece about Black Zero, a Toronto-based multimedia publisher — founded by filmmaker, scholar, and archivist Stephen Broomer — specializing in the archiving and restoration of Canadian experimental cinema from the 1960s to the present. This former patron of Toronto's experimental film group The Funnel considers such work to be vital, especially so given the fragile nature, and condition, of many films produced decades ago. Broomer's dedication to preserving Canadian underground cinema, especially those titles all but forgotten, is something I very much appreciate given my strong interest in that film form.
Last week I grabbed another Black Zero title, Home for Christmas,, from Bay Street Video here in the great metropolis of Toronto. I give a double recommendation.
Postscript: I've been going through the Blu-ray set, Josephine Massarella — Green Dreams, and have found the content — films and supplemental material — to be impressive. "Film at eleven!"
