Welcome to “Free Film Friday”! Every Friday we will be sharing a short free film for you to enjoy. Tell us what you think, and what you’d like to see us present…
Okay, I admit it. I was really hungry when I went looking for this week’s film. So I typed “chocolate” in the National Film Board’s (NFB’s) search, and only one film came up. One? I thought. They should make many, many more!
After watching How Do They Put The Centres In Chocolates, I’m not so sure. It’s part of a series of “How do they” films by director Don White. We’re basically watching factory workers and machines assemble chocolates for Purdy’s.
Interesting? Yes.
Appetizing? I suppose that’s in the stomach of the beholder. For me, a lot of the stuff looked like puss.
However, I did find the rhythmic hum of the machines quite soothing. I think I could sleep very happily under one of the conveyor belts, as long as I had some sort of protective covering so I didn’t get doused in cookie run-off.

Thank God! Nothing I saw reminded me of puss. That would have been devastating to my psyche! Even though I am not necessarily a chocolate fiend…. but when I do … indulge …. I still want to be transported to chocolate Shangri-la! Interesting film, though sketchy that some of the employees handling the chocolates did not wear gloves….. hmmmm!
