Moose Jaw: There’s a Future in Our Past
1992
· ⭐ 0 · Votes: 0
A wryly humorous excavation of history and personal memory Moose Jaw is a reflexive view of the filmmaker’s childhood town in the Canadian west as a mythic symbol of nation-building and the ‘manifest destiny’ of North America. With its revitalization motto ‘There’s a Future in Our past” this post-colonial crash site ingests the filmmaker in its museumizing process as a once thriving rail head on the margins of (British) Empire.
