Mr. Right
Dir. Barry Gibson
7:00 | Narrative / Fiction | Colour | January 1988
An episodic film made from the point of view of a misfit who is never seen on camera, but comments bitterly and cynically on what we see, on the people he has known.
This is Living
Dir. Barry Gibson
18:00 | Narrative / Fiction | B&W | January 1987
A film for anyone who’s ever been out of work! Del is up against it in this comedy of errors—out of work, aimless and about to be thrown out on his keester if he can’t come up with the rent money.
Question of Reality
Dir. Barry Gibson
26:00 | Documentary | Colour | January 1997
A chance encounter at a Tim Horton’s in downtown Winnipeg brought filmmaker, Barry Gibson and psychic, David Pandorra together. Pandorra, looking for an audience for his demonstrations, found in Gibson a skeptic about psychic phenomenon, but a believer in chasing a dream. A Question of Reality is a virtual frantic monologue as Pandora attempts to demonstrate the reality of psychic phenomenon. Success and failure at cards and a link to UFO’s underscore a desperate effort to be as famous as Uri Geller. Gibson shows the audience a warm and humorous account of life in pursuit of a dream.
