Op-Docs | Dismantling Detroit …

Lately, it’s been hard not to notice all of the articles and hype about Detroit making an artistic and hipster comeback… see, for instance, Is Detroit the new Brooklyn and Detroit Pushes Back With Young Muscles and yet… we should not lose sight of just how bad things have been there (and probably still are)!!

TO in 24

Local filmmaker Dale Hildebrand organized 24 cinematographers to shoot for 24 hours, in hundreds of spots all over town. The result is a 47-minute portrait of Toronto - am to pm, birth to death, with street and aerial views - an exploration of the cultural pulse of the city in a series of elegant and often wide-angled shots. TO in 24 didn’t get around a whole lot locally (one public screening was hosted by then-Mayor David Miller and Bruce McDonald), but a short version of the film made it into the hands of world leaders and international media at the G20 Summit.
