These video works, created by artists from across Canada, comment upon big box stores and their impact on downtown cores, as well as the issue of consumerism generally. A project initiated to coincide with a local anti-big box campaign, the artists represented here added to their unique pwerspectives to the debate. The Big Box Knockout screening packed a local repertory cinema and influenced Guelph City council's vote against allowing construction of a big box "power centre".
