Local Heroes Festival. Declaration of Independents

by Peter Urquhart

Reverse Shot, Mar. 12 Spring, 1995, p. 44

Peter Urquhart covers Edmonton's screenings of all-Canadian program Declaration of Independents at the Local Heroes International Screen Festival. Urquhart overviews three independent films. He calls Lynch's comparatively humorous documentary Arrowhead and Hazlett's Population 420 " nostalgic ruminations on aspects of "The Canadian Experience"", while identifying Schultz's The Fuhrer Don't Smoke as a less successful social problem film.
