Hello Cynthia and everyone else from LLTI,

Your film search intrigued me a bit, so I thought I'd give it a try on
the 'net.  You mentioned trying Facets, but did you try the Internet
Movie Database (www.imdb.com) and/or Amazon.com? Unfortunately I came up
with little information about purchasing them, but I did find out some
extra info that might help you locate a copy of this film.  Frederic
Back is the producer, and the short is a production of the National Film
Board of Canada.  Search around their web-site and maybe you can find
someone to e-mail for more info.  (http://www.nfb.ca/E/index.html)
I don't think the movie has been released on video, but it never hurts
to ask the producers/film makers.  Good luck!
