2 Hot 2 Handle

About This Movie

So, ‘2 Hot 2 Handle’ is this intriguing piece that kind of flows between the raw energy of the 2009 Canadian Rockies International Rodeo and these beautiful bronzes from the Glenbow’s collection. The way it contrasts live action with still images creates a unique atmosphere, almost like a visual poem about Alberta’s less mainstream history. Wong’s approach feels impressionistic, nudging viewers to think beyond just the rodeo itself and reflect on cultural narratives. The pacing gives it a contemplative feel, juxtaposing the thrill of the rodeo with the stillness of art, making it a distinctive exploration of identity and heritage.

This film has a rather niche appeal, reflecting a specific moment in Alberta's cultural tapestry. It’s not easy to find, which adds a layer of interest for collectors, especially those drawn to regional art and history. The format history isn't extensive, often circulating within festival circuits and niche collections, making it a curious item for anyone interested in rodeo culture or experimental film. As it stands, its rarity might contribute to a growing interest among collectors looking for something distinct and representative of a certain artistic approach.
