Just how did Vancouver get the nickname ‘Terminal City’ anyway? Sure, when you’re the last stop on the Trans-Canada railway, or the final port of call on the Pacific Coast, it makes sense, but didn’t anyone realize that they were making the city sound like a dead end? Oddly enough however, it’s that very downer of a connotation that makes the name ‘Terminal Cinema’ so apt for Vancouver’s emerging film underground. These are filmmakers who haven’t found outlets for their work at the city’s highly touted festivals or in its million-dollar Hollywood North industry. The independent creative spirit that fuels Terminal Cinema is happening at a grass-roots level, without much sleep and even less money.  After much delay, Terminal Cinema reforms for its second group showing, curated by filmmaker John Woods and sponsored by Cineworks Independent Filmmakers Society along with Driftwood Brewery.
