Eight years in the making, Lois Seigel's documentary paints a vivid portrait of Montreal's gay and transgender population, paying special focus to drag queens and transvestites. Those interviewed include a dancer from the famed Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, and locally famed characters such as Armand Monroe, Guilda, and Bobette.

Greg and Charles, two young men in Montreal, are trying to find creative fulfillment in their professional lives; Greg pursues work as a freelance writer of human interest journalism, while the openly gay Charles takes a job as a dancer in a gay bar.

A fish in pursuit of a banana; a hand with drawers; a show bar, complete with bird bartender; an ear umbrella stand; and a man whose nose ticks like a clock.

Through the use of pixilation, this zany film introduces strange characters and happenings.

"Boredom" consists of a series of images portraying the movements of one character. The character performs acts with no apparent reason or result. His life is his art. We watch him as he lives his day. He walks, he looks, he loves, he dreams. The subject "Boredom" is the title; all images are made as interesting as possible, but they have no exterior meaning.

The film is a small vignette of a carefree but curious individual who assumes nothing in his relationships with other people and merely reacts to the way they react to him.

This short film from the Canada Vignettes series profiles a unique French-Canadian family, the Fourniers, 12 of whom work as stunt men and women for films.

The account of a man without qualities. He's the leftover face in the crowd who collects images, the unwanted images discarded by people without even a glance. He tells us stories as he moves through no particular time toward no particular space.

Spoof focusing on Joe Private as the detective who does everything wrong.

Painting with Light consists of images produced by moving light. Techniques include re-filming slides in an animation fashion. Original slides are time-exposure images of color-filtered light. The experiment questions whether light can be controlled in a manner similar to that of the painter-artist. The use of an optical printed allows some manipulation or extension of certain scenes. Also, unmasked negative printing is intercut to strengthen the "painting" effect.
