City Reflections: Vancouver 1907 - 2007 offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing a time capsule of Vancouver as captured by William Harbeck’s moving camera. The film, shot from the vantage point of a B.C. Electric Railway streetcar, immerses you in the daily life of the city’s residents over a century ago. It's not polished, but that's part of its charm. You can almost feel the rhythm of the streets, the clatter of horse-drawn carriages, and the bustle of early 20th-century life. The pacing feels natural, as if you're strolling alongside them. There's something distinctive about seeing these moments unfold, connecting history to the present in such a tangible way. It’s raw, it’s real, and you can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia watching it.
