By the Time We Got to Expo

About This Movie

So, By the Time We Got to Expo is this really fascinating documentary that takes you on a pretty dynamic ride through Expo 67. The way it mixes archival footage with a mix of textures and forms is just something else. You feel the energy of Canada's centennial celebration and the whole vibe of nationalism wrapped around the fair. The pacing is kind of frenetic, but it works; you’re constantly engaged as it jumps from one visual spectacle to another. It’s less about the traditional storytelling and more about the atmosphere of the time. You get a real sense of what that moment meant for Canada, and how the fair was a canvas for these grand ideas and ideals.
