What happens

Camera is a 2000 Canadian short film written and directed by David Cronenberg. The six-minute short was one of several made for the special Preludes program in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Toronto International Film Festival. These films, all by Canadian directors, were commissioned as preludes for the festival in 2000. The film was a Genie Award nominee for Best Live Action Short Film at the 22nd Genie Awards in 2002.
