HOME FOR CHRISTMAS (1978)

Black Zero presents Home for Christmas, a record of a train, bus and ferry journey taken from filmmaker Rick Hancox’s then-home of Toronto, Canada, to his family’s Landfall homestead on Prince Edward Island. The journey occurs at an auspicious time for Hancox, in the last days of his twenties and the first days of his thirties, and his experience becomes an open parallel for those viewers who are separated from their families by a great divide, living their own lives in distant cities, and for whom such a trip, a commonplace, humble, monotonous journey, takes on the epic dimensions of a pilgrimage.
