Next month, Reel Movies takes Adventure Centre theatre audiences through two complete film series, beginning with The Shining Mountains Wednesday and Sunday March 4 and 8.
Produced for History Television and National Geographic, The Shining Mountains is a documentary shot over four seasons. The series journeys through time, in a quest to understand and celebrate the unique ecological mosaic of the Rockies, creating a sense of wonder and stewardship in its future. Weaving back and forth, from present to the past, Shining Mountains explores the natural wonders, cultural heritage and future of the Rockies in a well-paced and sometimes controversial composite of visions. Today's foremost thinkers and elders speak to their care and concerns for this extraordinary environment. Shining Mountains draws on narrative from eminent scientists, adventurers, aboriginal elders, resource managers, conservationists and developers, all of whom are under the spell of the Great Divide.
