Uninterrupted-VR draws together an icon of the Canadian wilderness with a symbol of contemporary urban life. The original cinematography, coupled with virtual reality and a unique soundscape create an intimate, immersive experience that brings the heart of a river to the heart of the city. Viewers will find themselves alone under a city bridge as images gradually unfurl across the bridge surface, breaking the darkness. City lights shift to become a glittering underwater world and images, concrete and abstract, mingle to reveal a river. The singular homeward journey of Pacific salmon has begun. The juxtaposition of nature with an urban setting inspires wonder as it reveals the beauty of an ancient cycle of life. At the same time the images whisper to the audience a question about the impact of urban living. The migration of salmon, uninterrupted for millennia, now faces increased threat by climate change and urban expansion. Still, this imaginative 24-minute work of art offers inklings of hope that a more sustainable connection with nature can be reached. A Canada Wild Production, with creators: director Nettie Wild, producers Betsy Carson & Rae Hull, and editor Michael Brockington
  • Nettie Wild is one of Canada’s leading documentary filmmakers and a recent recipient of the prestigious Governor General’s Award for artistic merit and outstanding contribution to visual and media arts. Her body of work includes highly charged, critically acclaimed feature documentaries that have brought audiences behind the frontlines of revolutions and social change worldwide, as well as experimental art installations that push the boundaries of documentary story telling. Regarded as an icon of media arts for her courage in addressing complex issues, her signature style engages the viewer’s imagination through the power of art. After witnessing a massive salmon migration, Nettie conceived and directed UNINTERRUPTED collaborating with producers Betsy Carson and Rae Hull, and editor Michael Brockington. Together they created a digitally mapped projection and live event (2017) – a breakthrough in outdoor public art exhibition. Now adapted into a synchronized virtual reality experience, UninterruptedVR brings the wonder of the salmon and the reflection of our relationship with nature into a new medium. Nettie just launched GO FISH (2023), a video triptych co-directed with Scott Smith; and is directing KLAVIERKLANG: Piano music, an experimental performance/music video currently in production with renowned soundscape artist Hildegard Westerkamp and celebrated pianist, Rachel Kyo Iwaasa.
