unholy amalgam of Raymond Williams, 50s-era Charles Schulz,
and John Waters!" (Wendy Banks)

IT
CAN HAPPEN HERE
(DVD, 47 minutes)
A movie by Jonathan Culp
Cost:
$20.00
There's
never been a movie like this before - a 'reality collage'
about art, activism and madness. Shot largely at the decaying
Weyburn Mental Hospital the month before it closed, this
47-minute video takes on a wide range of seemingly documentary
elements and fuses them together in an abstract, stylish
and highly personal form. From electroshock to government
work camps, from train-hopping to Tommy Douglas, from outsider
art to Walt Disney, "It Can Happen Here" is one
filmmaker's wild and unpredictable ride into the history
of Canadian repression and revolt.
"When
people profess to support non-mainstream cinema, it is stuff
like this that they should be talking about. " (Greg
Woods)

RECAP:
Video Images of the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty
(DVD, 115 minutes)
Shorts by Roberto Ariganello, Jonathan Culp,
Dan Roy, Kika Thorne and TVAC
Cost:
$20.00
The
Ontario Coalition Against Poverty is a groundbreaking and
controversial activist organization whose work has taken
many forms over its nearly twenty-year history. This two-hour
collection also takes many forms, presenting nine grassroots
perspectives on OCAP actions from 1998 to 2005.
In addition to their considerable information value, these
videos challenge the boundaries of 'video activism' as OCAP
is scratch-collaged, split-screened, hyper-contextualized,
and captured in words and action.
"A
fascinating combination of gripping images, creative film/video-making
and historical documentation. Different indeed." (Broken
Pencil)

stunningly screwed-up spectacle - 30 minutes of the craziest,
funniest corporate training videos of all time, followed

shoddy production values! See how hard it is for middle

how to avoid bumping into things! And of course, watch the
fast-food rapper drain the grease while long-lashed hamburger
patties sing a lively chorus. The train is leaving the station!

STUPID
JOURNEY 7: THE SELKIRK ASTROLOGIST
(half legal, 40pp)
Found by Jonathan Culp
Cost:
$3.00
This
is an enigmatic and highly involved pastiche of stuff I found
in a yard in Manitoba five years ago - all of it belonging
to, apparently, the Selkirk town astrologist circa 1930. News
clippings, astrology newsletters, diaries, photos, and an
incredible array of hand-drawn astrological charts referencing
the Winnipeg General Strike, Prime Minister Bennett, missing
amnesiacs, and more. See if you can put the pieces together
to solve the mystery of the man...

(half letter, 84 pp)
Jonathan Culp
Cost:
$5.00
Over
the winter of 2006-2007, Jonathan Culp moved back to the family

This zine is the result - more than 100 reviews of cheeseball
horror movies, Hollywood classics, underground favourites,
and more. Laid out chronologically, the videos flesh out a
personal narrative of illness and angst. The latest installment
