Hanging out the open door of an airplane\, he flew above unmapped mountain ranges – capturing iconic images with which he could make maps\, pursue scientific inquiries\, discover first ascents\, and inspire people. More than eighty years after Washburn first photographed Denali from the air\, climbing buddies Renan Ozturk (MERU) and Freddie Wilkinson look at some of Washburn’s images and have this crazy idea: rather than go up\, their dream is to go sideways — across the range’s most forbidding peaks\, the Mooses Tooth massif. It’s a decidedly new way to explore the same landscape Washburn first discovered. As they pioneer the route over the course of two expeditions\, enduring freezing bivies\, cut ropes\, and rock fall along the way\, their desire to be the first to complete the audacious line grows into an obsession. While the climbing action unfolds\, Washburn’s own incredible story comes to life through stunning archival footage and recreations. Filmed over a period of five years\, THE SANCTITY OF SPACE brings together visual elements of the highest order – from Washburn and Adams’s stunning large format black and white photographs to state-of-the-art helicopter cinematography to space photography – with an unforgettable story spanning generations. It’s both a white-knuckle adventure tale\, and a celebration of the spirit of exploration. \n  \nFunded by: City of Barrie\, Ontario Trillium Foundation and Telefilm Canada \nSponsored by: Busch Systems\, Digital Giants\, Lehman & Associates\, Netgain\, Plumbtech Plumbing Inc.\, Sigma Engagement Systems\, and Venable Park Investment Council Inc.

He went to Marquette University and Harvard Law School and has been a trial lawyer for over 40 years. In 2011\, Robinson began raising his then 13-year-old nephew and\, as a Black man raising a Black son\, struggled with what to tell his son about racism in America. How\, he wondered\, did we get here? And when he started looking at American history\, Robinson was shocked by what he had not known. For the past 10 years\, in community centres\, concert halls\, houses of worship\, and conference rooms across America\, he has been sharing what he learned. In WHO WE ARE — A CHRONICLE OF RACISM IN AMERICA\, Robinson faces his largest audience\, asking all of us to examine who we are\, where we come from\, and who we want to be. Anchored by Robinson’s 2018 performance at NYC’s historic Town Hall Theatre\, the film interweaves historical and present-day archival footage\, Robinson’s personal story\, and observational and interview footage capturing Robinson’s meetings with Black change-makers and eyewitnesses to history. From a hanging tree in Charleston\, South Carolina\, to a walking tour of the origins of slavery in colonial New York\, to the site of a 1947 lynching in rural Alabama\, the film brings history to life\, exploring the enduring legacy of white supremacy and our collective responsibility to overcome it. \n  \nAwards: 5 wins\, 8 nominations\nNominated – Best Documentary\, AARP Movies for Grownups Awards\, 2022\nWinner – AAFCA Award\, Best Independent Film\, African-American Film Critics Association (AAFCA)\, 2022\nNominated – Best Documentary\, Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival\, 2021\nWinner – Bridging the Borders Award\, Special Mention\, Palm Springs International Film Festival\, 2022\nWinner – Golden Space Needle Award\, Best Documentary\, Seattle International Film Festival\, 2021\nWinner – Audience Award\, Documentary Spotlight\, SXSW Film Festival\, 2021\nNominated – New Directors Competition\, Best Film\, São Paulo International Film Festival\, 2021\nWinner – Films for Change Award\, Woodstock Film Festival\, 2021 \n  \nFunded by: City of Barrie\, Ontario Trillium Foundation and Telefilm Canada \nSponsored by: Busch Systems\, Digital Giants\, Lehman & Associates\, Netgain\, Plumbtech Plumbing Inc.\, Sigma Engagement Systems\, and Venable Park Investment Council Inc. \n

Like any good detective story\, it’s also a morality tale.” – Mark Feeney\, Boston Globe \n  \nTHE LOST LEONARDO is the inside story behind the Salvator Mundi\, the most expensive painting ever sold at $450 million. From the moment the painting is bought for $1175 at a shady New Orleans auction house\, and the restorer discovers masterful Renaissance brushstrokes under the heavy varnish of its cheap restoration\, the Salvator Mundi’s fate is determined by an insatiable quest for fame\, money and power. As its price soars\, so do questions about its authenticity: is this painting really by Leonardo da Vinci? Unravelling the hidden agendas of the richest men and most powerful art institutions in the world\, THE LOST LEONARDO reveals how vested interests in the Salvator Mundi are of such tremendous power that truth becomes secondary. \n  \nAwards: \nNominated – Best Documentary Feature\, Critics’ Choice Documentary Awards\, 2021\nNominated – IDA Award for Best Cinematography and Music Score\, International Documentary Association\, 2022\nNominated – Bronze Horse for Best Documentary\, Stockholm Film Festival\, 2021 \n  \nFunded by: City of Barrie\, Ontario Trillium Foundation and Telefilm Canada \nSponsored by: Busch Systems\, Digital Giants\, Lehman & Associates\, Netgain\, Plumbtech Plumbing Inc.\, Sigma Engagement Systems\, and Venable Park Investment Council Inc. \n
