A short film done in 16mm (two separate rees - film and sound) by a third year RTA student for instructor Bob Scott's Media Applications course. The date of submission of this project is likely March 12, 1971, as indicated on the film can. The film consists of scenes filmed in Ottawa during the October Crisis in the Fall of 1970. While a protester addresses a crowd on Parliament Hill, various scenes are shown: views of the War Monument; views of the police and the army; views of streets and houses; and views of the residence of the Governor-General. The National Anthem and a "Repeal the Act" (i.e. the War Measures Act) chant are heard. The film's duration is 5 minutes and 40 seconds.
On the same reel, several other short student productions also appear, although it is not determined if these were created by the same student. They appear to be unrelated to the October Crisis segment. The total time of these productions is 15:23.3. A videotape copy of these films was made through the School of Image Arts (G. Bottomley - Motion Picture Lab) for reference purposes.
