FLAK - A short film by
Ron Mann
Buy it now! (Was $9.99, Now $7)
"It cannot be doubted that we live in a complacent time..."
So says the introduction to this recently re-released work of angry, political drama, which Ron Mann made when he was just 16 years old.
In 1970s Toronto, a group of young men living in the shadows of a gypsum plant discuss the political options available to average citizens in a post-1960s world. To combat the befouling of their air, some advocate for "proper channels," others for bombs. Through raw, 16mm black-and-white footage of heated arguments, distractions and daily routines, and with a mournful soundtrack, Mann gives us a portrait of political frustration from 30 years ago which looks eerily like a cross-section of the same attitudes and issues that fuel today's headlines.
