Suburban Discipline, 3-channel video projection, 6.45 Minutes
"Images from the underside of contemporary suburbia and the banal images of happy suburban family life slide, shift and displace one another on a screen subdivided into 3 discrete environments. Through constantly disappearing and reappearing scenes of driving past today's suburban enclaves and new construction sites, sounds of children playing, the shocking image of a rat drowned in a turquoise blue pool, and scenes from 1950's film and television, Drummond creates a powerful visual essay that mimics a dialectic between nostalgia and reality, and inserts moments of domestic violence into the landscape of suburban myths. -- Lynne Fernie, HotDocs International Documentary Film festival
