This 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.

2025-11-08 19:00 - 22:00 (America/Vancouver) | Nelson United Church, 602 Silica Street, Nelson, British Columbia, V1L 4N1, Canada
A documentary exploring the complex relationship between Jews and Palestinians in Israel-Palestine and the transformative journey that follows when they are faced with meeting ‘the other’ amidst the difficulty of the extreme violence, military occupation, inequality and propaganda. It provides an extraordinary example of what we are all capable of as humans. It speaks to overcoming dehumanization, propaganda, trauma and “othering”, and people’s moral courage, risk, vulnerability and commitment to seek the messy complexity of the truth.

Soon after its World Premiere at the Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival on November 12, Revelstoke will get to see the new, stunning documentary 1910 – The Uncovering. Principal photography for the 27-minute Film took place in July and December of 2024, showcasing key local locations: Revelstoke Railway Museum, Parks Canada, Rogers Pass, and Revelstoke Museum & Archives. In addition to surprising Vancouver connections, the film includes insightful interviews with local experts Tomo Fujimura, Cathy English, John Woods, Sylvain Hebert, Doug Meyer, Ed Palasz, Karen Matthews, and a cameo appearance by Taiki Fujimura. It also includes the skilled camera work of Revelstoke residents Tom Poole and Francois Desrosiers.
Using new information and graphic techniques, this Film describes the tragic avalanche that occurred at the Rogers Pass summit in March of 1910. It remains Canada’s deadliest, with 58 railway workers losing their lives. This documentary project also delves into the lives of two unlikely friends today, a downtown Vancouver businessman and a Japanese-born ski guide, brought together by their unique connections to the story and shared passion for researching the mysteries and injustices of this event. During production, the team was surprised by a 1910 victim’s great-grandson’s first-ever visit to the sites, from Tokyo.
