In 2003 the Montreal artist Norman Leibovitch died and left more than 1100 paintings to his son. Despite having been virtually ignored by his father as a child, Charles has taken it upon himself to pursue his dying mother's wish to have “Leibovitch” recognized as a significant and important Jewish-Canadian artist. Charles and Norman chronicles the life of the artist as seen through the eyes of his son whose only real desire is to become a lounge singer. Charles' narrative is supported by both images of his father's art and his own musical performances. Told with both humour and pathos, film-maker Keith Cunningham's short documentary reflects on the complexity of a legacy and the impact it can have on a person's life.

A remnant of Vancouver's industrial past.

A sprawling labyrinth of wood, brick and cement, originally built for the Restmore Furniture Manufacturing Company. For many years it was also a Woodward's warehouse.

Today it is occupied by painters, sculptors, potters, photographers, and woodworkers who love the place for its open spaces, high ceilings and the odd ghost.

Living History - 1000 Parker chronicles the history of the iconic building as told by the grandson of the original owner and some of the 200 artists who work there.
