DOCUMENTARY FEATURE. The film traces Robert Davidson's artistic career from his youth in Haida Gwaii and Vancouver studying with masters such as Bill Reid, and follows his education in the arts and in the history of the Indigenous Haida people from whom he is descended. It highlights the summer of 1969 when Davidson carved and raised a totem pole in his home village for the first time in nearly a century, marking the start of a "renaissance" for Indigenous art in popular culture. Davidson looks back on his 50 year career, his struggles as a child of the Canadian Indian residential school system, and his work as an activist for climate change and human rights.

Haida Modern

This documentary beautifully explores how the artist Robert Davidson brought back the culture of his Indigenous Haida people through his art and activism.

The Legacy Film Festival on Aging celebrates the aging process as profound, often challenging, & always courageous. Will we age “gracefully”, crankily, painfully, defiantly? We portray this unique, ever-changing experience honestly, artfully, always with compassion and love for their subjects.

Here's what's coming up soon. Can't make it? No sweat. Many live streams will be available for on-demand viewing as well.
