Christopher's Movie Matinee (1968). Christopher's Movie Matinee: Directed by Mort Ransen. With Graham Bourns, Jan Casson, Malcolm Dean, Roger Dowker. When a camera crew are sent to document hippie protests in Yorkville, Canada's counter-culture capital, they are charmed by a group of misunderstood kids with their own ideas about what kind of movie to make.

“A very straightforward film about a group of NFB documentarist as they follow a group of hippies revolting against the incoming Vietnam war. Things go astray with the media trying to frame the NFB documentarist as the root cause of the problem AND things cut abruptlyu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eVery interesting. Its much less controlled AND almost like a bunch of film forced into one. There is literally no story in the film. In fact ,at one point they just talk how should the film be filmed. Though, If I would describe the entire experience of watching this film, I would like how that lady from the follow-up documentary the Summer of 1967 (1994). Its about a bunch of kids who barely gets the idea of what they fighting for BUT essentially would help the betterment of everyone involved.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt is an interesting artifact that I feel that the modern twitter activist are very well in. A fight for change that they do not really have the best handle BUT is all in all well meaning AND would change the world for the better.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAn overlooked gem.”
