Nettie Wild’s extraordinary "KONELĪNE: our land beautiful" takes us beyond the Lower Mainland to reveal the stunning landscape to the north, and to chart the tension between a still relatively pristine beauty and the scars that economic development inevitably brings in the form of resource extraction and power lines. What sets "KONELĪNE: our land beautiful" apart is that it seeks to find the poetry of everyone in front of the lens - from diamond drillers to elders who protest against them.
"KONELĪNE: our land beautiful" was awarded the Best Canadian Feature Documentary prize at HotDocs earlier this year.
"North of 49 Movies on Campus" is a series of Canadian films screenings on campuses across the country with support from Telefilm Canada and local festivals. We are thrilled to be partnering with the Vancouver International Film Festival and Telefilm Canada to screen four outstanding productions, November 9 and 16, 2017 and January 18, 2018.
