Comfort Film Presents:

True Patriot Love: A Double Feature of Canadian Experimental Film

Jack and Olga Chambers: The Hart of London (1970, 16mm, 79m)
"Jack Chambers's 80-minute The Hart of London (1970) is a sprawling, ambitious film that combines newsreel footage of disasters, urban and nature imagery, and footage evoking the cycles of life and death. It is one of those rare films that succeeds precisely because of its sprawl; raw and open-ended almost to the point of anticipating the postmodern rejection of "master narratives," it cannot be reduced to a simple summary, and changes on you from one viewing to the next." - Fred Camper
&
Joyce Wieland: Reason Over Passion/La Raison Avant La Passion (1969, 16mm, 80m)
"REASON OVER PASSION, then, is Joyce Wieland's major film so far. With its many eccentricities, it is a glyph of her artistic personality; a lyric vision tempered by an aggressive form and a visionary patriotism mixed with ironic self parody. It is a film to be seen many times." - P. Adams Sitney, Film Culture

All films will be projected on 16mm.
