MOVIE MONDAY
BC Day – For B.C.’s 150 – B.C. Boomer Special Event!, 70 min
“First we’ll visit the 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s in B.C. when cigarettes and sun tanning and aimless driving vacations were good things…. We’ll visit the Fraser Valley and Okanagan with two campy 12-15 minute, tourist-attracting, Government made docs called Evergreen Playland presented by B.C. archivist Dennis J. Duffy.
Then, we’ll see The Trips Festival and 1967 Easter Stanley Park “Be In”. As well, psychedelic music with the likes of Gerry Garcia and Janis Joplin bringing the Devil’s music to Vancouver. And an amazing interview with Mayor Tom Campbell taking a firm stand on “those people”. Our guide, Stan Fox, who worked for CBC at the time but who seems to have “gone over to the other side”, was in Vancouver and ventured to the mecca, Haight-Ashbury, documenting the phenomena with a sympathetic camera. “
