SUMMARY:The Stand - Star Cinema
DESCRIPTION:As part of THE NFB IN LIBRARIES programming\, the Sidney / Nort
 h Saanich branch of the Vancouver Island Regional Library will present The
  Stand with the participation of the local independent Star Cinema.\n\nThe
  Stand | Filmmaker: Christopher Auchter | 2024 | 95 min\n\nOn a misty mor
 ning in the fall of 1985\, a small group of Haida people blockaded a muddy
  dirt road on Lyell Island\, demanding the government work with Indigenous
  people to find a way to protect the land and the future. In a riveting ne
 w feature documentary drawn from more than a hundred hours of archival foo
 tage and audio\, award-winning director Christopher Auchter (Now Is the T
 ime) recreates the critical moment when the Haida Nation’s resolute act
  of vision and conscience changed the world.\n\nAfter the screening there 
 will be a Q&amp\;A with the filmmaker\, Christopher Auchter.\nChristopher 
 Auchter grew up roaming the beaches and forests of the Haida Gwaii archipe
 lago off Canada’s West Coast\, and his art is rooted in the land and sto
 ries of the Haida people. Auchter’s art practice is fuelled by his close
  connection to the natural environment\, his adventures in forestry and co
 mmercial fishing\, and by the colourful people with whom he has lived and 
 worked. From early on\, he recorded his feelings and impressions as images
 \, and today his filmmaking serves the same function.\n\n\n———-\nFRE
