Uncle Frank Hidden Lake
N-2021-005: 0060 · Item · [Transferred to VHS 1990 (originally created 197-?)]
Part of Glick family fonds

This item is a home movie made on the occasion of Frank Glick's visit to Yellowknife. The footage includes an Air Canada plane taking off, Prelude Lake (RVs, people boating), as well as machinery, men digging, and trailers at the edge of a lake. At about 9 minutes, the video shows the interior of the Yellowknife Radio store, including staff, racks of clothing, furniture and home appliances; following that are daytime street scenes in Yellowknife (including cars, intersections, police cars, a tall building being constructed with a crane, and the exterior of buildings including Sutherland’s, Macleod's, The Bay, the Tog Shop, the Gold Range, the Museum of the North, Pacific Western, KFC, the Fire Department, and the Frontier Inn). This is followed by footage of a shooting range, Bristol Freighter plaque, Wardair plane, and the welcome to Yellowknife sign. The next scene depicts a trip in the Yellowknife Radio van and a float plane to a mine site.

The Yellowknife portion of the film ends at 26 minutes, and is followed by footage of a trip to Montreal (including Canadian Pacific sign, Le Chateau, Champlain Place Du Canada, CN sign, The Queen Elizabeth Hotel, Laurentienne, Hotel Windsor, Le Pub Sur le Parc, and an "Early Civilizations" museum exhibit.

The final minutes of the video are a mixture of clips that appear to have been recorded off of television broadcasts including a news clip about a bombing, Chilean elections, and the end of Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship. There is no sound from the video, but there is a musical soundtrack.
