Blackwood
Oscar nominated film! Richly woven of fine threads that mingle and separate, surface and disappear, this poetic film studies the works of one of Canada's greatest contemporary etchers: David Blackwood. Scenes of his hometown outport, examples of his masterfully crafted prints, and the vivid tales of an old mariner recall the tragic seal hunts and a way of life that has now vanished.
Superships
We take the world's largest ships, from double hulled super tankers, to floating oil-rigs and the largest salvage tug, exploring the incredible and often revolutionary technology that places these ships at the forefront of their industries. Each episode uncovers a pioneering super ship and examine its precise role, history, and the machinery that drives it using state of the art 3-D animation.
