Basin Trailer (2010)
The trailer for Basin which will make its Toronto Premiere at the 2010 Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival. A Cree drummer’s beat resonates throughout this visual journey along rivers and highways towards Alberta’s oilsands. The magnitude of the oilsands development project is an undeniable force, as water, workers, and wilderness are sucked forward in a massive environmental contortion. The beauty of the images in this wordless documentary are hauntingly contrasted by the ominous soundscape.
