a year at the movies... in half an hour

In case you can't identify one or two of the movies, here's a rundown of everything in "a year at the movies... in half an hour" - twelve months, thirty minutes. A different film clip for every day of the year.

There are links to some of my other montages over here.  

And watch for the first six-hour instalment of my 12-hour (and maybe eventually 24-hour) round-the-clock montage of movie clips, an hour per month, January through December from noon to midnight. The first six hours will premiere in September 2023 at the Richmond Cultural Centre, as part of Richmond Arts & Culture Days (exact dates to be announced).
