Expo Film (this film is my memory)

2021 | 9 minutes | Canada
Director: Penny McCann
Language: English

Using anonymous home movie footage of Expo '67 in Montreal, the artist sets out to recreate a memory that perhaps never existed. Celluloid manipulation and sound decay techniques coalesce to transform a mythic landscape into a sublime expanse of disintegrated memory.

About the pairing:
Immersing viewers in found footage from 1967 Montréal, Expo Film (this film is my memory) is the perfect amuse-bouche for a feature length visit to 1963 Ottawa in Amanita Pestilens.
