SUMMARY:Incandescence in New Westminster
DESCRIPTION:Unity of New Westminster invites everyone to this free communit
 y screening of\n\nINCANDESCENCE (directed by Nova Ami &amp\; Velcrow Rippe
 r\, 2024\, 104 mins.)\n\nEvery summer\, wildfires increasingly ravage plac
 es around the globe\, darkening the skies with thick smoke and reducing co
 mmunities to little more than ash and debris. Award-winning directors Nova
  Ami and Velcrow Ripper weave together immersive on-the-ground footage wit
 h first-person accounts from Indigenous Elders\, first responders\, and or
 dinary people forced to react to a rapidly evolving ecosystem. As climate
  change continues to escalate\, full suppression measures have largely fai
 led\, leading to bigger\, more intense mega-fires. But there is another wa
 y. Indigenous knowledge keepers explain that the First Nations people trad
 itionally used controlled burns to regenerate the land. Honouring the expe
 rience of both human and non-human inhabitants\, the film transforms our 
 understanding of fire from destruction and disaster into a kind of profoun
 d illumination\, lighting the way towards new life and hope.\n\nTrailer: h
 ttps://youtu.be/e17xBip25Xs\n\nDiscussion and refreshments will follow the
  film. No pre-registration is required. All are welcome.
