- Facing a potential nuclear renaissance, this moving account explores the legacy of nuclear arms through the lives of 4 young women. First we meet Maki, granddaughter of a Hiroshima bombing survivor who strives to keep the memory of the horror alive. Evelyn is a young student; she is exiled from her home, the contaminated island of Rongelap. Maurea and Annie are young and empassioned activists; one lives in a country torn apart by nuclear colonization while the other lives in an anti-nuclear country where she strives to inspire youth activism. These young women - along with scientists and political experts - introduce us to the film's themes: the rewriting of history, political opportunism, the reality of new nuclear arms, planetary contamination, and the anti-missile shield program.
- This documentary follows the making of a monumental mural mosaic about the West Coast composed of 231 paintings, by over 200 artists from across Canada. Designed by Lewis Lavoie of St. Albert, Alberta, the mural requires that each contributing artist trust the process as the final image remains secret until the unveiling of the completed mural. The documentary profiles the work of Lewis Lavoie and five artists who contribute paintings to the mural, among them world-famous wildlife artist Robert Bateman, and whose visions of the world around them are as varied as the techniques they use to portray it.
- -Why and how do we stay Francophone in Vancouver (in Canada)? A few voluble francophones finally out of the woods are loosening their tongues to give us the answer.
- In June 2006, eleven musicians from Vancouver joined the twenty-seven members of the gamelan Cudamani in the small village of Pengekosan, center Bali, and prepared for a performance of a new work by Canadian Michael Tenzer, composer and ethno-musicologist. For a month, they had to adjust to a totally new physical and cultural environment, meet certain social and protocol obligations, and perform music in a way that had never been attempted. 'Bali by Heart' explores much more than music. It is also a behind-the-scenes documentary with stories of friendship formed, hardship surmounted, and a moving testimony of how Balinese have understood that their culture is their most precious survival tool.
