John Paizs – Oak, Ivy and Other Dead Elms (1982)

In the second instalment of “The Three Worlds of Nick”, Paizs’ silent hero sets off to college where he meets Brock West (Winnipeg journalist and rocker Peter Jordon, aka Rocky Roletti). Unwittingly, Nick becomes involved in attempts to restore an old campus hangout and in the dirty political tricks swirling around a hard fought student election. The film successfully weaves the tone of college hijinx movies through the clever spoof of electoral trends, suggesting how easily old fashioned ethics can turn into fashion.

The film once again features it’s director, John Paizs, as the silent character Nick. But this time, Paizs’ character takes the back seat to a young Peter Jordan who is most notable for his work with the CBC, including the show “It’s a Living”. Guy Maddin also has a small cameo in this short film. Directed by Winnipeg filmmaker John Paizs.
