A Bird’s-Eye View Of Canada

Celebrate Canada Day by taking a coast-to-coast aerial photography tour of Canada in Helicopter Canada, a scenic Oscar-nominated documentary (1966).

Helicopter Canada by Eugene Boyko, National Film Board of Canada

Filmmaker Eugene Boyko had a special brace built to strap both the camera and himself in to a helicopter. He shot over an 18-month period, spending more than 540 hours in the air, shooting about 24 hours of footage, and even experiencing a few near-mishaps along the way.
