Cold Fronts

Director Murray Siples’ love/hate letter to Vancouver weather captures both the mundane and the thrilling experience of living on the West (wet) Coast. As ragged bits of cloud catch and tear on the local mountains, inside Murray’s studio the work of filmmaking continues. The winter rain colours every aspect of city life, but people cope, wielding umbrellas like swords, clutching coats and hats against the constant deluge. A personal take on one man’s experience of the winter, Cold Fronts is a kaleidoscopic view of the collision point between nature and the city. Meanwhile, the promise of summer endures, like the warmth of the sun kissing your eyelids.
