As part of the Echo Chamber events throughout Strathcona we are pleased to present a screening of a new film project by Adam Huggins, Ilana Fonariov and Jethro Archer.
Someday, All Of This Will Be Yours
The Purple Thistle
260-975 Vernon Dr.
Vancouver, BC
Wednesday November 9th 8PM.
Shot with little time and resources, processed in buckets of questionable chemistry in the darkroom of the Purple Thistle Center in Strathcona, and cut by hand overnight in the Woodwards building, this film is meant as a living document of our neighborhood and just how far that neighborhood extends.
Someday, All Of This Will Be Yours charts the course of the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain Pipeline as it extends from the base of Burnaby mountain across the Rockies and north to the boreal forest of Fort McMurray, Alberta, the center of oil sands extraction.
Captured over the course of two weeks on 16mm by three young gardeners, musicians, and students living in East Vancouver, the film explores rampant resource extraction in both the ecological and social bodies to spark conversation about co-implication and the smokescreen of blame; the interconnectedness of communities across provinces and continents; the relation of the individual to the myriad of acute social, ecological, and political struggles within and outside of one’s community; finally, to suggest Vancouver as the ideal site of resistance to further tar sands and pipeline expansion in the west.
Adam Huggins is a collectivist, herbalist, musician, gardeners, and filmmaker living in East Vancouver, a sweater of the salt of the Great Ocean and a busy-body garlic-peeling hand-processing dumpster-diving propagator of plants and emulsions. In the middle of July, 2011, he asked Ilana to come help shoot a documentary about the Tar Sands. She did. Jethro, their traveling companion, is now in Montreal, via Yellowknife, en route to New Zealand.
The Eastside Culture Crawl gratefully acknowledges the generous support for this programming through the City of Vancouver 125th and the Department of Canadian Heritage.
