Hirsch (2010)
Film (Documentary, Short and Biography) Director Objects found by children in an attic tell the story of the father of Canadian theatre, John Hirsch. His deathbed interview is listened to on reel-to-reel by a ten year-old watching his friends and babysitter play video games and unearth Hirsch's belongings.

He is trying to escape Winnipeg, but isn't sure how as he isn't sure what's kept him there in the first place. Perhaps his parent's month long 65th wedding anniversary celebration (despite his father being dead for some years) where he will reenact his childhood (with actors playing his family, except his mother who plays herself) in the old family home at 800 Ellis Avenue, which was above the family's hair salon business, will provide some answers. He recounts some civic events which have affected him and the life of Winnipegers: the 1919 general strike, the destruction of the Wolseley Elm in 1957, and the replacement of the iconic Eaton's building for the new hockey arena in favor of the old Winnipeg Arena.
