I think Leeper favours the National Film Board of Canada because we've been watching a lot of work by them lately. In the past weeks we've watched TV Tango, Duel, Sand Castle and today I couldn't help but notice the logo appearing before the films by Caroline Leaf. Being Canadian, this makes me happy :-) We produce a lot of good films apparently… 


I have a very limited understanding of how the use of sand on a light table works. I get the concept, but the fact that there are people who do it well amazes me. I've seen acts on America's Got Talent of people who've created incredible images in a couple of minutes, but I didn't know full length films were being produced. I can't even imagine the time and effort it would take to make a movie using this medium.

   

I really enjoyed The Owl Who Married a Goose because it was strange. I guess an owl and a goose fall in love, she has babies, and they all fly south for the winter. My favourite part was when the owl is exhausted from keeping up with the flock, and he humorously collapses into the water when they arrive. The whole plot was weird, and the ending happened so quickly I didn't know what to think. The owl drowned in the water, and the credits rolled. It was very odd, but I just shrugged my shoulders. I know it's Leeper's goal to confuse us, and lately he has been succeeding.
