Welcome to Pine Point

Michael Simons & Paul Shoebridge Canada 2010 min.

This multimedial project draws a picture on the lost Canadian mining town Pine Point. The city was built in the sixties, but when resources ran out in the late eighties the mine had to shut down. And with that the town also perished. Michael Simons, who grew up near Pine Point, and Paul Shoebridge deliver a melancholic portrait full of memories and nostalgia, built on objects and photos.
