Alpenblick Farm: An Organic Tradition
Directed by: Ben Walker & Lynda Hall, Ottawa, 2009, 5 mins
Alpenblick Farm: An Organic Tradition is a refreshing trip out to a family-run organic farm in the Ottawa Valley. In its intimate portrayal of the bond between the farmers and their animals, it softly pleads the case for small scale farming, and the rebuilding of a more sane food system that respects the skills of farmers, and reconnects us to the source of our food. This is the first documentary in an upcoming series of farm portraits.
Chez Schwartz
Directed by: Garry Beitel, Canada, 2006, 83 mins.
Chez Schwartz depicts a year in the life of Schwartz’s Deli – the unique 75-year-old landmark on Montreal’s historic Main. Filmed through changing seasons, from the quiet of early morning preparation to the frenetic bustle of packed lunch times and never ending line-ups, to the more relaxed ambience late at night. Chez Schwartz is an evocative, cinematic portrait of a small spunky deli known worldwide equally for its atmosphere and smoked meat.
