Curatorial statement:
Taking on a voyeuristic point of view, this interlude filmed in Point Pelee during the 1980s zooms in on people enjoying the views and the abundance of monarch butterflies through the lens of their cameras.

Television spots or ‘Interludes’ were commissioned by Parks Canada and produced by the National Film Board in the 1980s. These atmospheric short films, each of which showcased a different National Park of Historic Site, are distinguished by the way they combine beautiful images with an eerie electronic score composed by Québécois electronic musician Alain Clavier (1929-1998).
By the early 1990s, the Interludes had vanished from television, consigned to the archives of the National Film Board. Despite their disappearance from television, the interludes were stuck in Canada's cultural subconsciousness. By 2010 lo-fi dubs were beginning to appear on YouTube, uploaded by Alain Clavier mega-fans from ancient VHS tapes. And now, in 2021 the full series has been lovingly restored to its original splendor from the 16mm negatives.
