ICYMI: JOAN SULLIVAN: ‘Labrador Cinema’ is a moving tribute to the Big Land’s long filmmaking history | SaltWire
“Labrador Cinema” by Mark David Turner and Morgen Mills covers nearly 200 productions, excluding individual television episodes. - ContributedBy Mark David Turner and Morgen Mills“This is a book about Labrador’s relationship with moving imagery,” Mark David Turner and Morgen Mills write.
Labrador is a place of mind and identity, as well as geography; it’s big, multilingual and isolated. Cinema, too, “is difficult to define” or set within tight, impenetrable borders. The authors have followed “Canadian film critic Jerry White’s concept of ‘any form of moving image arts,’” and have incorporated works from television, film, videotape and computer screens.
The contents are ordered chronologically in 13 chapters, by decade, from the 1900s to the 2020s, each concisely contextualized. The initial images present frame enlargements, flyers and promotional images from, for example, “The Way of the Eskimo” and “Through Eskimo Land” . The 1920s introduces such figures as Varick Frissell, whose “three surviving films are defined by imagery both perilous and sublime.” There’s even a shot of the director on location, “likely in southern Labrador,” perhaps in production for “White Thunder,” the project that would claim his life.
The 1980s, “another bumper decade,” was particularly marked by the release of Nigel Markham and Anne Budgell’s “The Last Days of Okak” , personal stories of survival from the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic, which proved to have an influential, even global, reach.
