Traces : Expo 2020 Dubaï

2021~ 1 h 15 min 37 secInteractive: Installation

Production: André Picard (National Film Board of Canada)André Picard (National Film Board of Canada)

A coproduction of the National Film Board of Canada and Global Affairs Canada.

In times of change, we turn to our artists and our storytellers for insight and inspiration. What is happening? What lies ahead? What can we do? How can we see a way forward?

Climate change and its presence in our lives as a meta-issue, one that dominates discussion and impedes optimism, has been documented and dissected in seemingly every possible fashion. Often literal, journalistic, hectoring or depressing, the story of what we are doing to our planet isn’t unknown to us. Its telling is often overly familiar.

Premiering at Canada’s strikingly original pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai, the new National Film Board production Traces uses new artistic tools, fresh voices and our innate affection for birds to enchant us and challenge us to think about climate change as something deeply personal.
