Montreal in the 60s by Jimmy Deschênes

Montreal in the 60s by Jimmy Deschênes

Between watching seasons 2 and 3 of Mad Men recently and flipping through vintage vinyl on Monday, I can't get enough of the 1960s. In this 4-minute short, Jimmy Deschênes uses NFB footage with a Pink Floyd soundtrack to capture Montreal in the 1960s. You'll see that the team at Mad Men did their research and really got that sixties look and feel. There is great segment at the end of the Expo 67 Monorail.

The picture on the left is Buckminister Fuller's geodesic dome, which housed the US pavilion during Expo 67. It now houses the Biosphère, a museum focusing on the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River.
