Grounders (2020)

Overview

“Grounders is an attempt to capture the elation and confusion of play. The film was shot by several children, friends of my daughter, at nearby Lifesaver’s Park in Hamilton ON. I was interested in a playground game called ‘Grounders,’ particularly the vernacular and malleable quality of the rules. Dispute and debate is constant, but it never seems to devolve into a bad time.” (Derek Jenkins)
