“Atlantic native James MacSwain has made more than 20 films over the last 30 years. His voice has become a pervasive and sophisticated contribution to the experimental film community in this country, often literally as his extensive use of voiceover – and his clever scripts – evince a considerable talent as a writer. MacSwain’s particular use of 16mm collage and animation appear deceptively simple, but his films have a lingering depth and poignancy that resists easy categorization.” – Images Festival, 2011 DVD Compilation Contains: 1.
