Next Screening: Rendering Visions

March 5, 2026, 6pm // March 12, 2026, 8pm

Alberta Canada is home to Fort McMurray, a region rich in oil sands and it’s a cornerstone of the nation’s petroleum industry.

But for the creative community of Fort McMurray, the path is less clear.

So, through a series of interviews, local Director Ashley Laurenson asks the question – “What do artists need in an isolated community?”

Laurenson explore the struggles, resiliency and creativity in the region as she compiles heartfelt stories from local artists, historical accounts from arts champions and messages of hope for future artists.

Please note: The screening on 5th March will include an interview and Q & A with the director, Ashley Laurenson immediately following the screening of the film.
