Grain Elevator
This documentary short is a visual portrait of “Prairie Sentinels,” the vertical grain elevators that once dotted the Canadian Prairies. Surveying an old diesel elevator’s day-to-day operations, this film is a simple, honest vignette on the distinctive wooden structures that would eventually become a symbol of the Prairie provinces.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
