Lida Moser (1920-2014) the hero of this animated documentary, was a New York photographer who travelled throughout Quebec during the summer of 1950, on assignment to Vogue and Look Magazines.
Filmmaker Joyce Borenstein recorded Moser remembering her journey sixty years later. Moser took over one thousand photos of a society and place that was on the cusp of modernization.
Lida Moser’s artistic vision inspired Borenstein to create this auteur documentary which interweaves animation and time lapse shooting with the photos.
