BUSTER KEATON RIDES AGAIN - ln the autumn of 1964, just over a year before his death, Buster Keaton travelled to Canada to make The RaiIrodder, a silent short that would turn out to be one of his final films. Documenting this mobiIe production in fascinating and unexpected detaiI, Buster Keaton Rides Again offers a rare gIimpse of the comedy legend’s temperament, philosophies, hobbies, marriage (his third), and occasionaIly combative creative process. Canadian lnternational Pictures fondly presents this intimate Iook at one of cinema’s most enduring Iegends. ln addition, this disc includes The RaiIrodder and six other shorts by director – and Buster Keaton Rides Again co-star – Gerald Potterton (The Rainbow Boys, Heavy MetaI).
HELlCOPTER CANADA - Made in celebration of the Canadian centenniaI, this Oscar-nominated documentary offers a stunning aerial expIoration of the country’s vast and varied Iandscape. Featuring impressive widescreen cinematography by director Eugene Boyko, amusingIy irreverent commentary, and even a cameo by The BeatIes, this enchantingIy oddball time capsule brings Canadiana to new heights. ln honour of the film’s debt to the sprawling Cinerama traveIogues of the ’50s, this disc also includes a presentation of Helicopter Canada in the SmiIebox format, simuIating the effect of a curved screen.
