Ports Canada

196916 min 21 secFilm: Documentary

Direction: Albert Kish

Production: Barrie Howells

Produced by the National Film Board of Canada for the National Harbours Board.

Colourful and entertaining in its brisk pace, this is a film to show the function of the National Harbours Board and the operation of ports under its jurisdiction. The funnelling of exports and imports through an international seaport has been developed to a high degree of efficiency and coordination. This film records a typical day at the docks: the routine of moving cargo on and off the big ocean freighters, as well as other aspects of harbour activity. Film without words.
