HOT DOCS: The National Parks Project

"Stunning and inspired, this ambitious omnibus film barely fits the big screen. Fifty-two filmmakers and musicians explore our country’s rugged wilderness, translating the landscape into cinematic form to mark Parks Canada’s centennial."

When Parks Canada was formed in 1911 it was the first national parks service in the world. 100 years later Canadian artists from across the country have created this documentary to capture the majesty of 13 of our national parks, one in each province.

This film has gone RUSH meaning no more advance tickets are for sale.
So that means that :
a) should be a great film!
b) If you don't have a ticket + want to go you can probably still get in, you will have to line up outside the Royal and around 8pm Hot Docs will open a box office for the remaining tickets.
