Ninth Street Chronicles (2006)
rocks
African revolutionaries, wall-unit redemption, and haircuts by children...fantastic. wonderful self-contained short debut from the wacky imagination of megan martin. battling platoons of adolescents battling with the strife and friction of everyday life cast sideways through the canted lens of a removed but relevant saskatoon experience. deft handling of what is a cleverly invoked rumination on the whats and hows of encountering sexuality in a mundane - and for that, reason, socially and political - context. one of the smartest shorts this side of the moon, with tight technical insight and an edited rhythm that leaves any audience taken with the seemingly petty but entirely monumental machinations of memorialized youth culture and the little idiosyncratic instances we all lived and, importantly, collectively recall and remember.
