Synopsis
Hand processing and tinting/toning techniques transform images of deserted streets and parks into illusory archival footage, shifting an unimaginable present into an unreal past. Photographed on 16mm black and white film and hand-developed in the filmmaker’s bathroom using a DIY developer made from timothy hay and vitamin C supplements, the film’s rich colours are created through hand-toning using concentrated drink mixes sourced from the local grocery store.
Original title Oh Canada Oh Covid
