Trains of Winnipeg - 14 Film Poems (35 mm/Betacam/DVD/iPod, 89 minutes) is a feature-length film cycle that will have its Ottawa premiere as part of the Canadian Film Institute¹s intimate Cafe Ex series co-presented with SAW Video. It has been screened at film, video, and media arts festivals and galleries throughout North America and Europe, including Berlin's transmediale and the International Film Festival Rotterdam.

Straddling the borders between the balkanized worlds of cinema, visual art, music and literature, the 14 films in this major cycle employ a wide variety of non-linear digital and filmic formal experiments in depicting suburban and urban dystopias, in essays exploring the politics of form and the form of personal politics, as well as in audiovisual tone poems celebrating the raw joy of moving pictures, sound, colour and light. Winner of the New
Vision Award at the Copenhagen International Documentary Festival.
