Events in the Tunnel

Drawn from Super 8 films in the artists' personal archives as well as found amateur 8mm footage, "Events in the Tunnel" presents an absurdist abbreviated retelling of Canada's colonial history as defined by that great colonial trope, the cross-country train trip. In the transitional void of a train tunnel, we witness familiar 19th and 20th century paradigms of white middle-class conformity as represented by images of travel, amusement, and domesticity, with Canadian culture embodied by a chimeric portrayal of the early 20th century painter Tom Thomson.

Directors: Eric Walker, Penny McCann
