SUMMARY:Incandescence
DESCRIPTION:Incandescence\, a National Film Board of Canada production\, is an immersive cinematic experience that weaves together on-the-ground footage with extraordinary stories of survival and adaptation that transform our understanding of wildfire. \nWildfires are burning with increasing intensity around the world. Following the rhythms of the seasons\, Nova Ami and Velcrow Ripper’s Incandescence is an immersive cinematic experience\, weaving on-the-ground footage with extraordinary stories of survival and adaptation that transform our understanding of wildfire. The film takes shape from the ancient patterns embodied in fire: destruction\, aftermath and rebirth. From the flightpath of bees to an osprey’s aerial perspective\, floating over the landscape: the Earth comes back. \nThis important documentary provides insight into the devastating impact of the Okanagan wildfires in recent years\, highlighting the personal stories of affected individuals and the environmental consequences that resulted. Join the directors Ami and Ripper after the screening for a community post-screening Q & A. \nThis event is presented by the Capitol Theatre.

SUMMARY:Valhalla Wilderness Society Film Screening – Safe Haven
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to a screening of Damien Gillis and Valhalla Wilderness Society’s new film\, Safe Haven: The Rainbow-Jordan Wilderness. The 30 minute film will be followed by a presentation by Valhalla Wilderness Society biologist and campaigner Amber Peters\, including stunning photography from 25 years of research in British Columbia’s inland temperate rainforest. \nNorth Shore Hall – 675 Whitmore Rd\, Nelson\, BC V1L 6H7. \nDoors open at 6:30pm. Film starts at 7pm. \nAdmission by donation. \nThis event is being hosted by the Valhalla Wilderness Society. The Rainbow-Jordan Wilderness proposal was designed to protect a globally significant Inland Temperate Rainforest near Revelstoke\, BC. Since 2017 Valhalla Wilderness Society has studied the incredible biodiversity of this intact wilderness area that was previously unknown to science. Two years of filming in the proposal’s ancient forest led to the creation of Safe Haven. The film is a call to action for British Columbians to support the campaign to protect three remaining biodiversity havens of the inland temperate rainforest. \nContact info (at) vws.org for more information. \nPlease spread the word and come show your support!
