In this article the author focuses on the recent developments related to motion pictures. The author remarks that various national film bureaus, television channels and state-subsidized funds in Europe co-produce a film, which then must feature an actor from each participating country and be performed in a language spoken in none. But on rare occasions, some enterprising person carries a true global brunch from the stage to the movie house. Out of one of these productions, a Wagnerian-length extravaganza titled "The Seven Streams of the River Ota," writer Robert Lepage has carved the mini-brunch.
