National Parks Project, Canada, 45 minutes. In honour of Parks Canada’s centennial, this unprecedented celebration of natural beauty spans the country, from Nahanni National Park in NWT, to Gwaii Haanas off BC’s coast. In 13 parks, 1 filmmaker and 3 musicians set out to capture the unique beauty of a region. DOXA presents selections from the original film project. Followed by a live musical performance by Veda Hille Veda plays piano and tenor guitar, dabbles in banjo, accordion, and protools, and has a new love affair going on with a nord electro keyboard and a handful of casios. She writes about the natural world, the trickiness of love, the constant threat of tragedy, and anything else that amazes her.
DOXA Festival: Sunshine Coast
September 30 – October 3, 2011
Raven’s Cry Theatre,
Sechelt (Sunshine Coast)
DOXA is heading out of Vancouver for the first ever DOXA Festival: Sunshine Coast!
Featuring 14 of the most fascinating films selected from some of DOXA’s previous festivals, including the thrilling slam poetry film Louder Than a Bomb and Sundance prize-winner If a Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front.
Paradise. Jerzy Sladkowski, Sweden, 58 minutes. Married 65 years, Hans and Kerstin live in a lakeside cottage, their days filled with trumpet playing, dancing, berry picking, and trips to town. When resistance from Kerstin doesn’t stop Hans from wallpapering (while she’s out), conflict ensues – but a genuine affection and appreciation for their life wins out.
Other film highlights include the inspirational Saint Misbehavin’: The Wavy Gravy Movie and the heart-warming and hilarious Paradise, the story of a 65 year marriage.
In Highway Gospel, skateboarding is a religion. In BC, long-boarding evolved from a group of daredevils willing to risk insane speeds, who helped make the sport legal and build a vibrant community. The film has an unforgettable cast, including Pender Harbour’s Bricin “Stryker” Lyons and Scott “Scoot” Smith.
Also screening will be Highway Gospel, an all-Canadian celebration of the outlaw sport of long-boarding, featuring Pender Harbour’s legendary Attack of Danger Bay, and selections from the gorgeous and celebratory National Parks Project, followed by a special musical performance from Veda Hille.
Youth, Culture, Action is a special program featuring 3 short films about young people using language, art and culture to take their lives in a positive direction, including Sháshishálem Class by Manuela Salinas & Malcolm Paul.
Saint Misbehavin’: The Wavy Gravy Movie. Michelle Esrick, USA, 87 minutes. The joy of activism is embodied in Wavy Gravy. Friend of Bob Dylan, christened Wavy Gravy by B.B. King, Wavy travelled with the Merry Pranksters and had an ice cream named for him. But he was immortalized on stage at Woodstock, promising 400,000 people “breakfast in bed.” Saint Misbehavin’ will leave you with a smile on your face and revolution in your heart.
