The fonds consists of films created by Alex and Joe Viszmeg. There are five separate films represented in the donation, three directed by Alex and two directed by Joe, though most of the films featured both brothers in some role.
Alex’s films include Corn, Meat, Manure & the Man (an experimental film about Viszmeg’s family farm in Baltimore, Ontario), Little Angels (an experimental film about the search for personal identity), and Lost in Another World. Lost in Another World is a short film project created by students at the Alberta School for the Deaf with the assistance of Alex and other Edmonton-based filmmakers such as Lorna Thomas and Karen Wall. In addition to the edited version of Lost in Another World, there are also two reels of elements from the same project.
Joe’s films include The Conversation (a short film about a night in the life of two couples who have just met) and Before the Last War (an experimental film about nuclear war).
