The Adventure of Faustus Bidgood

Andy Jones stars as Faustus Bidgood, a clerk in the Newfoundland and Labrador provincial department of education who harbours secret dreams of becoming president of Newfoundland and leading the province to secede from Canada. The film contains several levels of what might be termed competing "realities, " oscillating between visions of mundane office work and sequences in which Bidgood accidentally leads a revolution, and containing a film within a film that narrates Faustus' real life and imaginary rise to power.<ref name="Clandfield1987"></ref>
