    Face March

    • 1984
    • Vern Hume, Alex Poruchnyk

    A grandmother spends one year gathering news coverage of war, thinking about a silent army. The results strip away all of broadcast television’s trappings. All we are left with are people in conflict, people in pain, people afraid for the future, leaders coming and going, and new leaders coming and going. Original soundtrack by Hume and Poruchnyk.

    Renovations

    • 1983
    • Alex Poruchnyk

    Renovation follows an individual’s attempt to purchase and renovate a derelict house in downtown Winnipeg. Through a combination of still photographs and video footage, the tape casually explores the interior of the house and the community in which the house is located.

    Live Wire

    • 1982
    • Alex Poruchnyk

    An exercise of choice in a system where the paradox is that you always have one. The problem of certain alternatives is only realized by people with their backs to the wall.
