Possum Trot - Documentary

A portrait and documentary that is a testament to the late Calvin Black. This wonder of documentary film comes from an era when there was no digital format obviously.

But similar to today’s foray of hurried action, there was an abundance of interesting documentaries being made. A revolution in Filmmaking was happening due to the advent of ‘handheld’ movie cameras. When we, firmly persons of the digital age, look at the results of this era there is something about their documentary explosion that is very different – it was shot on film. The results are a quality of production that seems to engage and endear the viewer with a different kind of emotion.

“Possum Trot” appears in full on the Dvd in this issue.

Running Time: 28' 00"
