In the early days of IN-SIGHTS, I was influenced by the late Rafe Mair and his Common Sense Canadian partner Damien Gillis.
November 16, a film directed by Mr. Gillis is featured at the Rio Theatre as part of the Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival (VIMFF).
Synopsis
Despite decades of clearcut logging, British Columbia is still home to some magnificent ancient forests, whose rich, intricate webs of life have evolved, untouched, since the last ice age. Safe Haven takes audiences on a journey back in time, deep into the Rainbow-Jordan Wilderness, with the people working to preserve its rare ecosystems and 2,000 year-old trees.
.
There will be a post-screening panel discussion involving:
- Filmmaker Damien Gillis, BC-based storyteller and multi-media producer.
- Biologist Amber Peters, an advocate with the Valhalla Wilderness Society.
- Chloë Dubois, co-founder and executive director of the Ocean Legacy Foundation, a nonprofit working to end ocean plastic pollution.
Tickets can be purchased HERE.
I am looking forward to this VIMFF event. Join me if you can.
