You’re Invited to join us Monday March 6th - 7:00 pm for a screening of Painted Land. An award winning documentary filmed in Algoma.
“Painted Land weaves seamlessly the experience of Lawren Harris, J.E.H. MacDonald, A.Y. Jackson, Frank Johnston, Arthur Lismer, Franklin Carmichael and A.J. Casson - with adventures of three modern day sleuths. Historian Michael Burtch, and the writer and photographer team of Gary and Joanie McGuffin are determined to track down the precise locations of these famous paintings.”
“Archival film, letters, journals and photographs of the artists - some of which have never been seen in public - take the viewers back in time. This film weaves this history with a modern day adventure, up mountains, down canyon rivers and over portages with our trio as they try to achieve their own personal quest: to actually walk in the Group of Seven’s footsteps.”
Gary + Joanie as well as Michael Burtch will be in attendance for a Q + A after the film.
