Интересные факты

Determinations is a Canadian experimental documentary film, directed by Oliver Hockenhull and released in 1987.

Production

The film blends news footage with sequences of animation, shadow dance and spoken-word poetry performance, and scripted dramatic vignettes, blending both traditional and avant-garde filmmaking techniques. It features a punk rock soundtrack with music by artists such as D.O.A., Subhumans, Carmen Reittich, Scott McLeod,

Pat Chird and Gerry Hannah, and poetry performances by Judy Radul.

Hockenhull noted that his intention was not to glorify or excuse the actions of the Squamish Five, but to illuminate the larger cultural blind spots that exist around violence and war. He also told the Vancouver Sun that "I hate the term experimental film. It's just a ghettoization of works that don't fit the mould. But the mould needs to be broken.
