BUSES DON'T STOP HERE ANYMORE by Penny McCann
A Super 8 chronicle of the closure, abandonment, and demolition of the Greyhound bus station in Ottawa, Canada.

Since 2000, Canadian experimental filmmaker Penny McCann has been engaged in creating a body of experimental landscape films that form a sustained meditation on memory, place, and time.
