Film Format: Digital File

  • Ripples in the Snow

    “Ripples in the Snow” deals with issues of dislocation, presence, absence and memory. It is also, on a basic level, a document of Britski’s influences – the prairie landscape, his family, and filmmakers Michael Snow, Richard Kerr, David Rimmer and Bruce Elder. Selected screenings & awards: Best Independent Film & Best Experimental Film, Cascadia Moving Images Festival, Canada, 2000; Figueira da Foz International Film Festival, Portugal, 2000; Ann Arbor Film Festival, USA, 2001;

  • Exteriors

    “Exteriors” is a portrait of a young woman and the landscape she inhabits. It is about the walls people construct, real or imaginary. “Poignant and poetic, the work engages our notions of the ‘moving image.’” – Photophobia Film Festival 2000 Selected screenings & awards: Best First Film, $100 Film Festival, Calgary, AB, 1999; Brisbane International Film Festival, Australia, 1999; Vancouver International Film Festival, Vancouver, BC, 1999; Rotterdam International Short Film Festival, Netherlands, 1999

  • You would make a good lawyer

    “You would make a good lawyer” is a film about employment, and the cages we all inhabit. The title is taken from a fortune that I kept receiving from fortune cookies, which seemed to capture the irony of my predicament perfectly. (JB) Selected screenings: Figueira da Foz International Film Festival, Portugal, 2000; Telluride International Experimental Expo, USA, 2000; Award for Best Experimental, Saskatchewan Showcase, Canada, 2000; Vancouver International Film Festival, Vancouver, BC, 2000

  • Transfixed

    “Transfixed” is a meditative film that celebrates the beauty found within the small details of existence. “‘Transfixed’ evokes the boundless joy of the vicarious unlimited experience of childhood, while at the same time reminding us of life’s accelerated velocity and transitory nature.” – Antimatter Underground Film Festival, 2002 Selected screenings: Honorable Mention, Ann Arbor Film Festival, USA, 2003; Reykjavik Short Film Festival, Iceland, 2002; Vancouver International Film Festival, Vancouver, BC, 2002; Yorkton Short Film Festival, Yorkton, SK, 2003

  • Shooting Star

    “Shooting Star” is a film about mortality, a moving x-ray of small and grand gestures alike. “A lovely, enigmatic tribute to Canadian hockey legend Rocket Richard. Jason Britski manipulates images to… create a short that feels like a visual poem.” – Eye Weekly, Toronto, 2003 Selected screenings: Dawson City International Short Film Festival, 2003; Huesca International Film Festival, Spain, 2003; Toronto International Film Festival, Canada, 2003; Split International Film Festival, Croatia, 2003

  • Solo

    A single gal venturing into a bar finds a groove all on her own.

  • Girl Cleans Sink

    A lonely couple meet in a Laundromat, where their clumsy attempt at a sexual liaison leads to revelations, embarrassments, and a little bit of compassion. “Boundary-pusher, CBC radio host and still the coolest VJ MuchMusic has ever had, Sook-Yin Lee directs the surprising and wry ‘Girl Cleans Sink.’ This 10-minute gem stars Pretty, Porky and Pissed Off member Lisa Ayuso as a dyke with a gun who decides to give a guy a try before offing herself. The delightfully deadpan performances of Ayuso and her co-star (Jeremy Finkelstein) lend the film an off-kilter charm that feels refreshingly natural.” – Extra…

  • Granny Queer – The Late Bloomers

    “Slap me silly with a crocheted doily!” Granny Queer and her voluptuous girlfriend Sharlene are enjoying a nice wee Saturday morning lie-in when Granny sees that Sharlene’s bloomers have gone missing from the line. Granny suspects their mysterious new neighbour Mr. Wit has something to do with it, and she’s determined to get to the bottom of the matter. Bursting with audacity, deliciously camp visuals and oddball characters, Granny is here… and she’s Queer! Selected screenings: Anima Mundi Animation Festival, Brazil, 2005; Frameline San Francisco International LGBT Film Festival, 2005; Newfest, New York, 2005; Mix Brazil, 2005; London Lesbian and…

  • Hitch Cock

    Susan would like to cordially invite you to a dinner party to help celebrate her perfect, married life with Steve. Unfortunately, it may not be as perfect as she thinks, as Steve realizes he likes the “COCK au Vin” a little too much. A comedy where not everything is as it seems. “This zany homage/spoof… throws in every Hitchcock pun imaginable. It is deeply silly, full of corny jokes and very, very rude! And even though it’s complete overkill, it will make you laugh.” – www.shadowsonthewall.co.uk Selected screenings: London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival, 2005; Frameline San Francisco Lesbian &…

  • Flying without Wings, Propellers or Jets

    Using found footage, this portrait of self falls in from somewhere over the moon, turns childhood around, pushes through with tunes of a time, and lands in wild fields of plenty.
