Set amongst the rugged forests and shorelines of British Columbia, SILVICOLA examines the web of cultural and economic forces which direct modern forestry practices. A story told through an eclectic mix of characters whose lives and livelihoods are entangled with the forest, this film explores the tensions and dilemmas between commodification and conservation, embedding the viewer within remote spaces and worksites normally hidden from view. A study of both our connection and disconnection with the forest, SILVICOLA is a film which demands a rethink of the divisions between natural and industrial worlds.
