What happens to a person’s self-image when physical forces outside of their control alter the borders of the body? What does it mean to be the observer? This work refers to emotions many of us choose to avoid; humiliation due to lack of control, a sense of being exposed, or being As the light returns to our corner of Eden, out of one’s element. We don’t enjoy being vulnerable, but lets take a few hours this weekend to enjoy the light created wanting to yearn, being free from gravity, and escaping are all dreams we commonly hold. We are occasionally by some passionate people. driven to take risks to experience something beyond what we know. Although people can’t fl y like birds, there are moments when we can be at home in the air. Thanks to all who come out and to all who helped bring this event together!

  • To the Top of Parks Canada
    To the top of Parks Canada As Parks Canada’s centennial celebrations were getting underway, the agency’s chief executive officer, Alan Latourelle (pictured in Torngat Mountains National Park in Labrador), sat down for a conversation with the editors of Canadian Geographic. The complete interview appears here: CG Give us a sense of what the centennial of Parks Canada means for the agency. A.L. For Parks Canada, and for Canada, it is really celebrating the first national park organization in the world. This is a country that had the foresight and leadership to be the first to build an exceptional system of natural and heritage places. J. B. Harkin [first commissioner of the Dominion Parks Branch in 1911] and others before us set the way for a system plan that is representative of our country. So, for me, it is a celebration of who we are as Canadians and of the foresight and leadership of past heads of Parks Canada and past prime ministers. CG How do you go about celebrating that? Tell us about some of the events planned for 2011 that will bring that to life? A.L. It started this weekend with Winterlude here in Ottawa, where the opening ceremony included a project called the National Parks Project. Fifty musicians and filmmakers from Canada went through our national parks last summer and each produced a one‐hour documentary. Some of the best were being showcased at Winterlude. We want to connect Canadians to their stories, to our national parks, to our national historic sites, and invite them to celebrate with us.

Massive amounts of 35mm film were packed neatly in unwieldy padlocked metal cans and sent to a world’s worth of neighborhood cinemas. During my tenure at a local multiplex, a particularly long movie about a boy wizard resulted in a particularly massive film print. I managed to get this print halfway up a particularly steep staircase before tumbling bow-tie first down to what I feared was my doom but was, in fact, a conveniently placed pile of industrial sized bags of Orville Redenbacher. After that, I left it to our fearless projectionists to struggle them up the stairs to dimly lit projection booths. There, hunched over miles of celluloid, they would work into the wee hours of the morning – steady hands and bleary eyes assembling a new adventure. Such was the weight of storytelling. And the enormity of it made sense to me. Should one be able to lose the life and times of Charles Foster Kane if it slides down into that little space between the entertainment center and the wall? Emily Beck FARGO THEATRE Should the battle against an evil galactic empire be shipped in a standard packing envelope lined with those delicious little bubbles? Executive Director Isn’t it only fitting that the epic journey to return The One Ring (back to the fiery chasm from whence it came) be so enormous it could topple a teenager in an usher’s tuxedo made entirely of polyester? But the world turned.
