Aviature
Cinema and aviation took their first steps and took off around the same time. In their own way, the marvelous modern machines that are cameras and airplanes brought humans closer to their dreams. It’s no surprise then that filmmakers became fascinated with aerial feats and those bold enough to conquer the skies.
Guest programmer : John Harbour
This short film takes a look at Saskatchewan’s air ambulance service, organized and operated by experienced flyers who provide speedy hospitalization and treatment to the ill and injured. Within 15 minutes of receiving a desperate phone call for help from a remote area, a plane is on its way, guided to the patient with the help of landmarks such as a coal bin or a thin column of smoke on a northern lakeshore.
Documentary about bush pilots who criss-cross the skies, flying from the boreal forest to the tundra of Northern Quebec. An endangered species, bush pilots fly their floatplanes over lakes, rivers and forests every day.
