What the Darkness Cannot Extinguish: The Storytelling Madness of Clifford George
Director: Kenneth J. Harvey . Newfoundland & Labrador . ~75 mins
A feature-length documentary celebrating the life and work of Trinity Bay artist and storyteller Clifford George. As a visual artist, George’s work ranges from painting signs to his signature colourful coastal paintings, and his beloved work eventually led to him becoming a medical artist with the Health Science Centres. As a storyteller, he’s widely renowned as a true Newfoundland original and a wealth of folklore knowledge—casting a spell on you with every word he speaks. Director Kenneth J. Harvey is a master of the Newfoundland biographical documentary, so you know this one is essential viewing.

Free Fall Director: Nicola Heidi Hawkins . Producers: Nancy Dahn, Timothy Steeves . Newfoundland & Labrador . 14 mins
Newfoundland’s Duo Concertante perform the Juno-nominated classical composition “Coeur À Coeur” by Canada’s Alice Ping Yee Ho. This piece is conceived as an imaginary conversation between two voices: exchanging inner thoughts, and it pairs beautifully with the footage of northern gannets at Cape St. Mary’s.
Post-Screening Q&A in the Second Space Featuring Kenneth J. Harvey (NL) ~30min
