Driving into Broadmead Village, it’s difficult to imagine a North West Mounted Policeman bounding towards Rithet’s Bog with Rin Tin Tin leading the charge. But in the late 1930s, that’s exactly what was happening on the site. Now, the Free-B Film Festival is offering locals a chance to discover those little-known moments with an outdoor screening of Death Goes North on Aug. 23. “The film was part of what was called the Quota of Quickies,” said Donovan Aikman, programmer at Victoria Film Festival. “The British were trying to keep out American product, so they introduced a piece of legislation that required 15 per cent of films shown in Britain to be filmed in Commonwealth countries.” Greater Victoria, a relatively quick journey from Los Angeles, was the ideal site for a number of “Quota of Quickies” productions, which were usually tacked on as double features with U.S. films to satisfy U.K. screening rules.
