In a Beautiful Place to Stand Out in the Country (YouTube)
Brought to you by the Archives of Ontario, this lovely clip features the song A Place to Stand, A Place to Grow, the "unofficial anthem of the Canadian province of Ontario". It was shown at Expo 67 in Montreal and won the the 1967 Academy Award for Live Action Short Film.
Given the title and origin of the film and the song, I couldn't resist the obvious: I made a quickie mashup of A Place to Stand - along with other vintage tourism films from the Archives of Ontario - and Boards of Canada's track In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country. It's called In a Beautiful Place to Stand Out in the Country (YouTube).
