  • The Curlers
    The Curlers
    William Davidson 1955 27 min
    The local curling club, one of rural Canada's most esteemed social institutions, exerts diverse influences on the affairs of its members. In this film we see how an ingenious small-town lawyer employs the team spirit to settle a rift between two neighbouring farmers, just in time for an all-important turkey bonspiel.
  • Gone Curling
    Gone Curling
    John Howe 1963 10 min
    This short comedy follows a visitor to the prairies as he slowly discovers the cult of curling. At first, our protagonist doesn’t seem to understand why everyone is so crazy about curling, but once he studies up, buys the right gear, and gets a few lessons, he can’t be stopped. This hilarious short film records the history of a rookie's first game. Even non-curlers will feel the pull of the stones and the flick of the brooms in this choice rink-side view.
