Each summer, anglers from around the world come to swing flies for the Dean River's legendary fish as bears roam the shoreline and the river runs cold and clear. Oly, however, is just as content chasing toads as wild steelhead. Photo credit: Chase White

Oly's Dean

Internationally acclaimed earth artist David Popa travels to Alberta to create ambitious ephemeral artworks on the frozen surface of Abraham Lake using only natural materials. What begins as a search to reconnect with the reason he creates becomes a deeply personal journey of renewal, uncovering the story of his father, the impermanence of his work, and why the most meaningful art is often the first to disappear.

Renewal

Stories of Resilience is a short film showcasing lived experiences in the aftermath of the 2024 Jasper wildfire and follows Paulette Dubé and Greg Deagle as they turn to writing, photography, and painting to reconnect with themselves, their community, and the landscapes they call home. Through creative expression and reflection, their stories illuminate both the challenges of living in an era of climate uncertainty and the qualities that help communities navigate change together.

Stories of Resilience - Voices from Jasper

Set on an island in Greenland, 600 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle, this intimate vérité portrait follows two young Inuit coming of age. Created in close collaboration with a local children's home and filmed in Greenlandic, the story traces identity, tradition, loss, and resilience. Sila observes a fragile passage between deep cultural roots and an uncertain, rapidly changing world.
