Carried by the Wind

1999 • 52 min • Russia, Finland
600 km north of Arkhangelsk on the shore of the White Sea is the fishing village of Shoyna. In winter there is an endless night and an icy desert, in summer there is an incessant sun and salty winds that cover the houses with sand up to the roofs. The film is a metaphorical reflection – about Russia, about the eternal trials that have fallen to its lot, about the coveted freedom and about the paradoxical attraction to unfreedom that exists in every Russian person…

Shot during three seasons, Kenuajuak's documentary tenderly portrays village life and the elements that forge the character of his people: their history, the great open spaces and their unflagging humour. Though Kenuajuak appreciates the amenities of southern civilization that have made their way north, he remains attached to the traditional way of life and the land: its vast tundra, the sea teeming with Arctic char, the sky full of Canada geese.

Little Tug's Big Adventure

Little Tug's Big Adventure

1999 • 25 min
Viewers are treated to a busy day on New York harbor in this chipper live-action video. This title expands on the popularity of animated talking-vehicle properties such as Theodore Tugboat and Thomas the Tank Engine by pairing real working boats with distinctive character voice-overs. Little Tug has been in dry dock all winter and cannot wait to get back in the water. He looks like a tugboat but actually does not have an engine powerful enough to perform true tug duties. Nevertheless, Little Tug has plenty of friends on the harbor among them Charlie the lobster boat (who speaks with a Maine accent), Thomas the paddle-wheel boat and Little Tug’s best pal, Rita, a rather reckless speedboat. When Rita (running without a radio or a working fuel gauge) heads out of the small harbor to find big waves to play in, Little Tug loses track of her. His search for, and eventual heroic rescue of Rita leads him into the very busy New York harbor, south of Manhattan. Ages 2-6.
