Grant Crabtree

Story of a young boy and his grandpa, a carpenter with a hearing impairment. The young boy frolics joyfully in the rural landscape, but eventually he'll need to learn a lesson from his grandpa about safety, responsibility, and maturity.

Dr. Helen Creighton explores her native Nova Scotia, finding singers and songs in order to document the fast-receding folklore of the early pioneers on her tape recorder.

An exploration of the changing seasons and changes in the way of life on Cape Breton Island, Song of Seasons was filmed and written by Grant Crabtree. Commissioned by DEVCO, a narrative of the film centres around the importation of sheep from Scotland to Cape Breton as part of a community economic development initiative undertaken by the corporation.

This short documentary from the Canadian Artists series presents the art of Emily Carr, the Canadian painter who found exciting subject matter on British Columbia's Pacific Coast, with its giant trees and its Indigenous villages, totems and carvings. When Carr visited the Ucluelet Indian Reserve on Vancouver Island in 1898, the Nuu-chah-nulth people gave her the name Klee Wyck, meaning “Laughing One.” Her canvases are shown here amidst the landscapes and places where they were painted.
