In his most recent film, bp (pushing the boundaries),
filmmaker BNash has created a tapestry of style and
content as he reveals the essence of the late poet
bpNichol, author of over 300 publications including
books of poetry and fiction, sound recordings, television
scripts, libretti and comic strips. The film is thought-provoking,
experimental, wildly playful and captures the work
and spirit of the late bpNichol (1944-88), who in
1970 was the youngest recipient ever of the prestigious
GOVERNOR GENERAL'S AWARD.
