GREASE – This 30 minute video production is Al Elsey’s masterpiece. Converted to video format from16 mm film footage taken in 1963, Elsey's narrative takes the viewer through the whole process of oolichan grease production. He shows the fish being caught in the conical shaped nets, then dumped into dug out canoes, and left to rot for ten days in "stink boxes." Then he shows the partially decomposed fish being boiled up and the rendering of the crystal clear grease. This archival production is a heritage gem.
