    Ten Minutes to Show Time

    • 1990
    • Alex Poruchnyk

    Alex Poruchnyk went on a pilgrimage in search of lost drive-ins. His quest took him throughout the Canadian west. What he found was a spirit - a spirit that keeps people on the land and surviving on the edge of extinction. 10 Minutes to Show Time melds together interviews, scripted re-creations, and computer animations with original intermission film segments.
