Drama

If you erase the people of downtown America, the effect is bizarre, not to say disturbing. That is what this film does. It shows the familiar urban scene without a soul in sight: streets empty, buildings empty, yet everywhere there is evidence of recent life and activity. At the end of the film we learn what has happened.

    However this was actually achieved, it's quite an affecting short feature that depicts a Montreal completely devoid of people. There is no-one on the streets, on the trains or in the offices. The parks are empty, the malls silent. Only a telex suggests offers a potential explanation. At this point you start to notice that it's not just a lack of people - but there are no cats, dogs, or birds either. The audio track provides us with the sounds we ought to be hearing when we visit a football stadium, a playground or a bedroom - but still, not a living thing in sight. There are still trees, though... Eerie!
