DOXA'S MOTION PICTURES FILM SERIES
SCREENING AND LIVE PERFORMANCE ANNOUNCED!
The Winding Stream 
The Carters, The Cashes and the Course of Country Music
Beth Harrington | USA  |  2014 | 90  minutes

Tuesday February 16th, 2016 at 7:30pm 
Kay Meek Centre
1700 Mathers Avenue, West Vancouver, B.C.

Screening will be preceded by a live performance by Fraser Union and guest singer Kathy Griffin, who will play a selection of Carter Family favourites. 

DOXA and the Kay Meek Centre are very pleased to present Beth Harrington's  The Winding Stream  - a boot-stomping yodeling great tribute to the Carter Family, founding members of American folk music and legendary progenitors of the grand old folk tradition. From homely roots, the Carter legacy has spanned generations, and the power of their harmonies and heart-felt songs echo through American music to this day. Musicians from John Prine to George Jones to the late great Johnny Cash weigh in on their profound influence and impact. (Cash, having married into the Carter family, with wife June Carter-Cash, provides a particularly poignant take on this vibrant chapter in music history.)

"..enough drama, music and history to fuel a miniseries in [this] thoroughly entertaining and comprehensive account of the Carter and Cash families and their enduring contributions to American music..."  - The Hollywood Reporter

Hadwin's Judgement
Sasha Snow |  Canada |  2015 |  88 minutes

Friday January 29th, 2016 at 7:00pm 
Richmond Cultural Centre Performance Hall
7700 Minoru Gate, Richmond, B.C.

Screening followed by a Q&A with John Vaillant, author of the award-winning novel The Golden Spruce. 

DOXA Documentary Film Festival's Motion Pictures Film Series, with support from the City of Richmond, is very happy to present Sasha Snow's film Hadwin's Judgement, the stunning cinematic adaptation of John Vaillant's Governor General Award-winning novel  The Golden Spruce. When ex-logger Grant Hadwin mysteriously disappeared into the dark waters of Hecate Strait, his story could easily have vanished into the legends and lore of the West Coast. Vaillant's spare and powerful prose immortalized Hadwin, fleshing out the history of the man at the centre of the story. 

"Combined with the story itself, offset by insightful interviews with indigenous tribe members, it paints an intriguing portrait of a tormented man's desperate wake-up call."  - The Montreal Gazette 

"...gorgeously photographed, compulsively watchable." -  The Globe & Mail
