A North Vancouver gallery will be taking a film screening to the digital space this November, with a screening and Q&A for Canadian documentary “The Mill”.
The Mill takes viewers into Pictou County, Nova Scotia, and details a community divided over the fate of a local pulp mill. The film portrays the tension between preserving local jobs and addressing environmental pollution.
The documentary creators’ have made use of poster printing, which features a blackened mill set against a yellow backdrop, with images of protest contained in the clouds coming from the mill. The digital screening of the film will be followed by an online question and answer section with director David Craig. Craig is known as a creator and producer of short documentaries dealing with Canadian subjects.
The screening is part of the Griffin Art Projects’ ongoing retrospective on the work and legacy of Garry Neill Kennedy. Kennedy was a prominent Vancouver artist and founder of the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. The tribute features a two-month physical exhibition, currently ongoing, and a series of events, including the screening of The Mill. Craig was a student of Kennedy and will speak on his legacy, as well as the themes and filming process of his documentary.
The Griffin Art Projects’ screening of The Mill will take place on November 15 over Zoom.
