Does anybody have the "At the Quinte Hotel" short that aired on Bravo Canada a while back? It's a Gordie enactment of the Al Purdy poem. I've been searching for a while but haven't found it anywhere and wouldn't mind using it in the classroom...sort of teach the students that poetry isn't just a bunch of old dead people, but it can be, pardon the pun, hip. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

p.s. hope i'm not posting this in the wrong forum...if i am apologies in advance.

i have the short film on tape, and i'm at a level of technology that really doesn't permit me to give it to you. however, i can tell you about it. ready? ok, gord himself is charismatica as usual, but what i found most interesting was that the whole business was really well produced. there are some good camera shots, and its quite funny from time to time. worth downloading if you can find it.
