- Description (english) Black and white print stock takes on an orange hue as image is disrupted by hand-applied film bleach. Filmed from the backyard and at the Chevron Refinery located on the idyllic and fragile shores leading to Indian Arm near Vancouver. Chemical spills rupture silence across film’s emulsion. It’s late in the day and we’ve waited too long: man vs nature in a battle to the finish. A part of the Iris Film Collective End of the World Film Commission where members were given a limited amount of Orwo black and white print stock to create a themed film. Funded by the BC Arts Council.
