SUMMARY:The Lumberfros & Foresters
DESCRIPTION:Thompson Rivers University will host a free public screening of
  two NFB Films:\n\nThe Lumberfros (Stéphanie Lanthier | 2010 | 1h 11 mins
 ) \n\nIn Abitibi\, hundreds of kilometres from the city\, thousands of wo
 rkers go North\, as did Jos Montferrand and François Paradis. Working as 
 brush cutters\, these 21st-century lumberjacks discover Quebec's boreal fo
 rest. Far from their families\, they spend 5 or 6 months a year in logging
  camps that mirror a new Quebec\, those of French-Canadian descent and neo
 -Quebecers from Africa\, Eastern Europe and Asia. All have come to earn a 
 living in the forest. Filmmaker Stéphanie Lanthier invites us to spend an
  entire season inside this northern micro society. Using a direct cinema t
 echnique in the style of Pierre Perrault\, she documents the lives of the 
 brush cutters.\n\nForesters (Werner Aellen | 1968 | 13 mins) \n\nThis sho
 rt documentary looks at how modern technology affects the forestry industr
 y and the role of the forester in ensuring the sustainability of this grea
 t natural resource. It was in the '60s that people started to realize that
  the forests did not provide an endless supply of wood\, and thanks to rec
 ent developments in the science of forestry\, people are learning how to m
 anage the resources more effectively.\n\n\n\nFor more info\, please visit
