Filmmaker Paula Kelly was artist in residence at the City of Winnipeg Archives last year. During her tenure she dug through some of the hundreds of boxes to find rare film footage and photographs from Winnipeg's past and brought them together to look at our changing identity.
I was lucky enough to have been a small part of that project and able to see the outcome - three short films: Sand and Stone; Watermarks; Waiting for the Parade.
Collectively, they are called Souvenirs and it is now online. You can view them here.
Kelly's next project keeps with the theme of examining Winnipeg's identity but fast forwards a few decades. BlogWinnipeg will be a short film about the city as Winnipeggers see it but instead of 8mm film it will be done using new media.
