Blackwood (1976)
Directed by Tony Ianzelo, Andy Thomson
Overview
This short film studies the works of one of Canada’s greatest contemporary etchers - Newfoundland-born David Blackwood. The artist himself guides viewers through a step-by-step explanation of the etching process. Scenes of his hometown, examples of his own work and vivid tales of an old mariner recall the tragic seal hunts and a way of life that has now vanished.
