From experimental non-fiction filmmaker Georg Koszulinski comes a visual chronicle of the Vodou religion as practiced in the rural mountains of Haiti. The Vodou religion continues to be a central aspect of Haitian cultural identity, yet rural Vodou practices remain virtually un-documented. Loa presents Koszulinski’s expressive account of rural Vodou via a portrait of the houngan Etanta Aoleé, who has served the loa, the sacred spirits of Haiti, for over a half century. -Jennifer Morris

The Path of Grey Owl is a new film by Goh Iromoto, shot on location in Ontario, Canada. It follows world renowned bushcraft export Ray Mears through the wilderness of the Temagami region, as he explores the path of acclaimed author and conservationist Grey Owl (also known as Archibald Belaney). While reflecting on the landscape that shaped Grey Owl into the person that he was, Ray further delves into Grey Owl’s message about protecting our wilderness, and explains why this is still so relevant and important in our present day.
