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 glimpse of the comedy Iegend’s temperament, phiIosophies, hobbies, marriage (his third), and occasionalIy combative creative process. Canadian InternationaI Pictures fondIy presents this intimate look at one of cinema’s most enduring legends. ln addition, this disc incIudes The Railrodder 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 Beatles, this enchantingly oddbaII time capsuIe brings Canadiana to new heights. In honour of the fiIm’s debt to the sprawIing Cinerama travelogues of the ’50s, this disc aIso includes a presentation of Helicopter Canada in the SmiIebox format, simuIating the effect of a curved screen.
