This experiment in form by filmmaking master Orson Welles has become a touchstone in the development of the “visual essay” format.

Part of our Eyes on Artist Series. In the spirit of respect, reciprocity and truth, we honour and acknowledge that this screening takes place on Moh’kinsstis and the traditional Treaty 7 territory, as well as the oral practices of the Blackfoot confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Îyâxe Nakoda and Tsuut’ina nations, and the Otipemisiwak Métis Government of the Métis Nation within Alberta District 6.
