Conceptafilm
is a documentary film production company located in Halifax, Nova
Scotia. We produce social issue documentaries that ask questions
about what we, as a society, value and desire: what matters and
why.
Here are
some of our finished projects:
Damage
Done: The Drug War Odyssey (Nov 2006): Law enforcement officers
are the first to respond when someone slips through a hole in the
social safety net. Everyone who has a stake in that society needs
to know what choices police are forced to make on the job.
Hofmann's
Potion: The Early Years of LSD is a documentary completed
in 2002 that was written, researched, & directed by Conceptafilm
director Connie Littlefield and produced by Kent Martin for the
NFB's Atlantic Studio. It tells the stories of the nice old gents
doing research in the 1940s, 50s, & 60s who really believed
that LSD could change the world. Featuring interviews with Albert
Hofmann, Myron Stolaroff, Stanislav Grof, Humphry Osmond, Abram
Hoffer, Duncan Blewett, Ralph Metzner, Laura Archera Huxley, Ram
Dass, and, in spirit & archival film only, Aldous Huxley, Captain
Al Hubbard, and Timothy Leary.
All
The Right Stuff is another NFB production, directed &
written by Connie Littlefield, completed in 1997. It is an in-depth
look at the economic exploitation of adolescents in our world, as
typified by a trip to the mall with Brendan.
Here are
some projects we have in development:
Ann
and Sasha - a Chemical Love Story
Feed Your
Head: the Crazy Ideas of Abram Hoffer (more info to come soon!)
