As folks in Canada practice ever more stringent social distancing and self-isolation, Bowen Islander Michael Nankin (a producer, director and writer who moved up from Los Angeles) started a sort of online film festival called "Covideo."

Every day Nankin will post on Facebook (and share with the Undercurrent) a short or clip "with the intent to make our isolation a bit more bearable."

See days one, two, three, four and five. 

Day six: A Matter of Life and Death

"I think this might be the most romantic opening of a movie I've ever seen," writes Nankin. "David Niven and Kim Hunter fall in love over literature, philosophy and burning bombers in Michael Powell's A Matter of Life and Death, 1946. This one is posted for Liz who I married 32 years ago today."
