The Sweater (Sheldon Cohen, Canada 1980, 10 min.)
Such a Simple Game (Un jeu si simple, Gilles Groulx, Canada 1968, 28 min.)
Valery's Ankle (Brett Cashmere, Canada 2006, 33 min.)
Josh Romphf (Selznick 2012) came to Rochester from London, Ontario and has stayed for a decade. As a software developer for the River Campus Libraries at University of Rochester, he has utilized his film preservation education to work on special projects for the university, including digital scanning and 3D printing. He sits down with Jared Case, Curator of Film Exhibitions to talk about three short films dealing with Canada's national sport. Though all three can be viewed on their own, the three of them together work to create a sense of the importance of hockey to Canadians and troubling influence of corporatization on the sport and the dangers of expansion.
