Nine (1998)
The year I turned nine I became pathologically afraid that my parents would die. I stopped letting them leave the house at night, even for a walk around the block. I'd call them repeatedly at restaurants if they tried to go out for dinner and once threatened to kill myself if anything happened to them. That's when they sent me to a psychiatrist. This is the story of the year I was nine.

The Moody Brood (2000)
A documentary unlike any other, The Moody Brood explodes the myth of the idealized, normal family-a popular and pervasive post-WWII notion. The film examines issues universal to all families: the effects of community and religion, the influence of siblings, and the moral standards imposed by parents. Award-winning filmmaker Lulu Keating traces the lives of her 10 siblings from their childhood in the 1940s to present day, from a small Catholic community to the world stage. Along the way, she asks some difficult questions: Can we, as adults, shed past experiences? Or do they shape our whole lives?

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.

The Finest Kind: A People's History of the Lockeport Lockout, 1939 (1979)
In the fall of 1939, more than 600 fishermen and fish handlers in the tiny town of Lockeport, Nova Scotia walked the picket line in front of the town's only employers, Swim Brothers and the Lockeport Company. Both fishplants had locked their doors rather than recognize the Canadian Fishermen's Union as official bargaining agent. For eight weeks, as autumn turned to winter, the men, with their wives and families, held firm. It was a bread-and-butter struggle that made national headlines--one of the first major attempts by Nova Scotia fishermen and fishhandlers to win union recognition, and one of the first major tests of the N.S. Trade Union Act, passed in 1937.
