SUMMARY:Losing Blue
DESCRIPTION:The National Film Board of Canada presents a free screening of 
 Losing Blue\, to be followed by a Q&amp\;A with filmmaker Leanne Allison a
 nd a presentation by the film’s science advisers Janet Fischer and Mark 
 Olson.\n\nLosing Blue (Leanne Alison | 2023 |16 min)\n\nA cinematic poem t
 hat delves into the impending loss of some of the most extraordinary blues
  on Earth—the otherworldly blues of ancient mountain lakes. Glacier-fed 
 alpine lakes each have a unique blue formed by the mountains and ice that 
 shaped them. These intense colours hold the memory of “deep time\,” ge
 ological processes millions of years old. Now climate change is rapidly ac
 celerating environmental shifts and causing some of these spectacular blue
 s to vanish. Losing Blue is an expansive metaphor for the massive and subt
 le impacts of climate change. With stunning cinematography\, the film imme
 rses viewers in the magnificence of lakes so rare that most have never see
 n them\, pulling us in so that we experience these bodies of water as if w
 e were standing alone on their rocky shores—witnesses to their power and
  acutely aware of what their loss would mean\, both for ourselves and for 
 the Earth. This short documentary gently asks what it might mean to forget
  that the ethereal blues of these lakes ever existed.\n\n\n\nLeanne Alliso
 n is a filmmaker based in Canmore\, Alberta\, known for her award-winning 
 feature-length NFB documentaries Being Caribou and Finding Farley. Both th
 ese films are based on long wilderness journeys in remote parts of Canada 
 that continue to shape her work today. She is the co-creator of the NFB in
 teractive documentary Bear 71\, which is widely considered to be a seminal
  piece in the world of interactive media.\n\nAdmission is free at the door
 . No registration required.\n\n--\n\nFor more information\, visit the orga
