On Sunday, February 15, 2009, filmmaker Daniel Northcott will début his new film, Sketches for Roam (here’s an excerpt of the film), at District 319, a state-of-the-art multimedia facility located in Vancouver’s urban core.
A courageous self-portrait of Northcott’s battle with acute myeloid leukemia, and a study of a personal crisis that offers testament to the need to persevere, Sketches for Roam offers the viewer a subjective, elegiac memoir, & a richly rewarding evocation of the filmmaker’s past and present.
At times harrowing, but more a rapturously moving and a gently melancholic visual poem, Sketches for Roam presents a kaleidoscopic odyssey across four continents that is lushly textured, illuminating, heartfelt, brashly emotional, and an earthquake of docu-collage filmmaking.
Advance tickets are available online at www.thezerohundredblock.com, or in-person at Little Sister’s Book and Art Emporium (1238 Davie Street), Zulu Records (1972 West 4th Avenue), Red Cat Records (4307 Main Street), Ayden Gallery (2nd floor, 88 W Pender Street in the Tinseltown Centre), Highlife World Music (1317 Commercial Drive), and Dandelion Records (228 East Broadway, between Main and Kingsway). A limited number of tickets will be available at the door for the three screenings.
