8 Frames Per Second (1986)

High contrast black and white photography, a subjective camera and a quirky sense of humour contribute to this extraordinary portrait of the filmmaker’s neighbour Sophia, a working class woman from Cape Breton with opinions she’s not unwilling to (loudly) share. Clarke’s highly personal film is at once familiar and dispassionate – an innovative documentary which moves as kinetically as any action film.
