Hand-processed film imagery, tinted, toned, and transformed, is combined with memory fragments of a rural past to create a visual poem about family, place, and time. Filmed at Philip Hoffman's Independent Imaging Retreat in Mount Forest, Ontario, with an atmospheric sound design by Edmund Eagan. The film's title refers to the lot and concession number of my great-grandfather's farm in Westport, Ontario, as recorded in the 1911 census. The voice is a fragment of the past, taken from a recording of my father, Leonard McCann, who passed away in 1992.
