Audience favourite and winner of the Best Canadian Feature Documentary Award at this year’s Hot Docs, KONELINE: our land beautiful is a stunningly shot and powerfully realized ode to one of the most striking places on earth, and the people who live there. The Tahltan First Nation has lived in remote northwestern British Columbia for thousands of years; they call their land "koneline," which means "our land beautiful" as well as "our mind beautiful," inextricably weaving human consciousness with the health of the land. Copper and gold mining companies call the Tahltan territory "the golden triangle," while hunting outfitters refer to it as "Canada's Serengeti." With KONELINE, award-winning director Nettie Wild (A Place Called Chiapas, Fix) crafts a breathtaking love letter-in striking CinemaScope and surround sound-that captures the majestic beauty of the land and its people.
Director Nettie Wild will be in attendance for post-screening Q&As at the June 10, June 11 and June 12 screenings.
Co-presented by imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival and The Northern Miner.
