Folk Art Found Me, NFB film production - 30 minutes
Who are these people from Nova Scotia!? And what is folk art!? This humourous documentary allows the artists to explain. They have a raw passionate inspiration to create, entirely without pretension. In one instance, the three Naugler brothers - Bradford, Leo and Ransford from Lunenburg County - tell the story, one by one, of how they switched from auto-body work to sculpture and painting. Other featured artists are Sidney Howard, Wesley Hubley, Eddie Mandaggio, Garnet McPhail and Harry Whitney. Folk Art Found Me celebrates these internationally recognized artists. It snaps along with great wit and is, in the end, an inspiration for everybody.
