Welcome to Pine Point

Postby Dexter St. Clair » Sun Aug 21, 2011 3:36 pm

A multimedia portrait of the disappeared Canadian mining settlement of Pine Point. The town was built in the 1960s, but closed down with the mine when the stocks of zinc and lead ore ran out in the late 1980s: literally torn down and wiped off the map. It existed exactly long enough for one generation to live there. The documentary made by Michael Simons, who grew up in the vicinity of Pine Point, and Paul Shoebridge about this former town revolves around memories and the objects that keep these alive.
