Canadian award-winning director and cinematographer\, Dianne Whelan\, made this film about her epic journey across Canada on the Trans-Canada trail.

She started out alone\, disillusioned with the state of the world and worried about climate change\, to look for different ways of caring for the land and each other. She ended the journey a bit wiser\, more hopeful\, in love and with a passion to share this story.

Abbott’s new documentary The Magnitude of All Things draws intimate parallels between the experiences of grief—both personal and planetary. Stories from the frontlines of climate change merge with recollections from the filmmaker’s childhood on Ontario’s Georgian Bay. What do these stories have in common? The answer\, surprisingly\, is everything. \nFor the people featured\, climate change is not happening in the distant future: it is kicking down the front door. Battles waged\, lamentations of loss\, and raw testimony coalesce into an extraordinary tapestry\, woven together with raw emotion and staggering beauty that transform darkness into light\, grief into action. \n  \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIVYm31gK5A\n \n Tickets URL:https://simcoestreettheatre.ca/event/the-magnitude-of-all-things/ LOCATION:Simcoe Street Theatre\, 65 Simcoe Street\, Collingwood\, Ontario\, L9Y 1H7\, Canada ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://simcoestreettheatre.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/cbc_themagnitude_ott_program_v031.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20231129T190000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20231129T203000 DTSTAMP:20260503T012130 CREATED:20231031T171214Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231129T141347Z UID:10000067-1701284400-1701289800@simcoestreettheatre.ca SUMMARY:SOLD OUT - The Woman Who Loves Giraffes DESCRIPTION:BTC Film Series Presents: The Woman Who Loves Giraffes\nIn 1956\, four years before Jane Goodall ventured into the world of chimpanzees and seven years before Dian Fossey left to work with mountain gorillas – in fact\, before anyone\, man or woman had made such a trip – 23-year-old Canadian biologist\, Anne Innis Dagg\, made an unprecedented solo journey to South Africa to become the first person in the world to study animal behaviour in the wild on that continent. When she returned home a year later armed with ground-breaking research\, the insurmountable barriers she faced as a female scientist proved much harder to overcome. \nIn 1972\, having published 20 research papers as an assistant professor of zoology at University of Guelph\, the Dean of the university\, denied her tenure. She couldn’t apply to the University of Waterloo because the Dean there told Anne that he would never give tenure to a married woman. This was the catalyst that transformed Anne into a feminist activist. \nFor three decades\, Anne Innis Dagg was absent from the giraffe world until 2010 when she was sought out by giraffologists and not just brought back to into the fold\, but finally celebrated for her work. \nIn The Woman Who Loves Giraffes\, an older (now 85)\, wiser Anne takes us on her first expedition back to Africa to retrace where her trail-blazing journey began more than half a century ago. \nBy retracing her original steps\, and with letters and stunning\, original 16mm film footage\, Anne offers an intimate window into her life as a young woman\, juxtaposed with a first hand look at the devastating reality that giraffes are facing today. \nBoth the world’s first ‘giraffologist’\, whose research findings ultimately became the foundation for many scientists following in her footsteps\, and the species she loves have each experienced triumphs as well as nasty battle scars. \nThe Woman Who Loves Giraffes gives us a moving perspective on both. \nAbout Blue Mountain Watershed Trust\nAll proceeds go to the Blue Mountain Watershed Trust \nThe Blue Mountain Watershed Trust Foundation (the Watershed Trust)\, Ontario’s first watershed trust\, was formed in 1994 to protect natural areas in Collingwood and the Blue Mountains from development pressures of many kinds.

The Last Guide and short film\, The Long Today. \nThe Long Today “When filmmaker Niobe Thompson’s father turned 70 he found a ‘river’ on a map\, repaired one of his old wood canoes\, and invited his family to help him celebrate the big day. Only a few of them turned up.” \nThe Last Guide “Meet Frank Kuiack\, the last traditional fishing guide in Algonquin Park. Kuiack carries a lifetime of stories and wisdom about the Algonquin. His magnetic personality\, skills on the water and knowledge of the park’s intricate lakes and trails has inspired two novels. When Kuiack was eight-years-old\, a group of American anglers offered him $5 to show them where to catch fish – and he’s been making his living as a fishing guide ever since. At 84-years-old and recently diagnosed with bone cancer\, Frank’s health has taken a turn for the worse. While he’s attempted to train guides over the years and pass on his knowledge\, the physically demanding nature of the job has turned away most potential apprentices. Kuiack’s niece\, Sharleen\, has shown a unique ability to go toe-to-toe with Frank on the water but\, despite her ability and love for her uncle\, she remains unsure how to carry on his legacy or whether she desires to be the next “Last Guide.” \n \n Tickets URL:https://simcoestreettheatre.ca/event/the-long-day-the-last-guide/ LOCATION:Simcoe Street Theatre\, 65 Simcoe Street\, Collingwood\, Ontario\, L9Y 1H7\, Canada ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://simcoestreettheatre.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/BTC_Film.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20230426T190000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20230426T203000 DTSTAMP:20260503T012130 CREATED:20230405T210928Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230405T211020Z UID:10000025-1682535600-1682541000@simcoestreettheatre.ca SUMMARY:BTC Film Series: The Hidden Life of Trees DESCRIPTION:The Hidden Life of Trees\nBranching off of his bestselling book\, renowned forester and writer Peter Wohlleben guides us through his most precious ideas and understanding of how trees work in this enlightening documentary.
