"For some, film is not entertainment. It is more of a way of dealing with life. Film reflects and amplifies conflict, giving it the potential to aid in articulating emotional occurrences and ambiguities. For some, it is also an artistic "blow hole," venting passion and expression visually (and audibly) on the screen. For Dianne Ouellette, film is all of these things, and on top of them, a catharsis."
Rob Lokinger, 'A Touch of Red' - Premiere Screening,
Regina, Saskatchewan
December 12, 1997
SYNOPSIS
december is one woman's journey into herself and an embrace of her life.
december is a personal reflection on some of my past experiences which lead to turning thirty. The film, december, is optically printed from various super 8 and 16 mm film stocks to 16mm. This combination gives the film a grainy but beautiful texture, and a feel that is well matched by Kim Nakrieko's narration and Rob Lokinger's enticing soundscape.
