Grain Elevator
1981 · Film · documentary · 16 min
Directed by Charles Konowal
This documentary short is a visual portrait of “Prairie Sentinels,” the vertical grain elevators that once dotted the Canadian Prairies. Surveying an old diesel elevator’s day-to-day operations, this film is a simple, honest vignette on the distinctive wooden structures that would eventually become a symbol of the Prairie provinces.

This documentary (as with so many on the NFB site) is a quiet and thoughtful look at a co-op elevator in operation. https://www.nfb.ca/film/grain_elevator/
