SUMMARY:Coastal Conversations: Film Series
DESCRIPTION:The North Coast Ecology Centre and the BC Environmental Film Festival are collaborating to bring some amazing nature films to Prince Rupert and the North! \nThe films will be shown at the Lester Centre of the Arts on March 5th\, March 19th and April 2nd.\nTickets are $15/night or $35 for all three nights. \nApril 2nd Film: Grizzly Rewild\n \n\n“Grizzly Rewild” (Canada\, 2024\, 52 minutes) showcases five orphaned grizzly cubs being reared at the world’s only grizzly rewilding facility in Smithers\, British Columbia and then follows them being released back to the wild wearing GPS collars. In a ground-breaking study\, eminent bear biologist\, Dr Lana Ciarniello tracks the progress of these bears over the next year to see whether they can survive without a mother to teach or protect them. It’s the first time rewilded grizzlies have ever been filmed readapting to life in the wild. If they survive – grizzly rewilding could become widely adopted and help rebuild North America’s declining grizzly populations.  Grizzly Rewild | 2024 BCEFF\n\nNCECS memberships will be available at each event.\nNorth Coast Ecology Centre Society

This connection links all life\, cycles nutrients\, and defines local food webs. We’ll explore what makes our region unique\, what we know about these ecosystem relationships\, and how that knowledge might us shape the future of our coast.\n\nAbout AllisonDr. Allison Oliver is an aquatic ecologist and biogeochemist for the Skeena Fisheries Commission and lives in the Kispiox Valley. Her experience includes over 15 years of research on carbon and nutrient biogeochemistry\, limnology\, salmon ecology\, and water quality.

This story sheds light on the early research efforts to learn about the southern residents and the hope that Dr. Ken Balcomb created for their future. Counting Orca | BCEFF Online 2025\n‘The Medzih Story: Restoring a Caribou Landscape’ (Canada\, 2024\, 20 minutes) is a short film documenting the work one indigenous community is doing to help restore decades of industrial impacts on the land base as a mechanism to help stabilize boreal caribou populations.

As Dene and Cree speaking peoples who have occupied this land since time immemorial\, the initiative is an example of their everlasting responsibility to respect\, and care for the land and animals that have sustained them forever.  The Medzih Story: Restoring a Caribou Landscape | BCEFF Online 2025\nHope in the Anthropocene (Canada\, 2025\, 23 minutes) delves into the lives of passionate environmentalists in British Columbia as they confront climate anxiety and navigate their complex relationship with hope amidst an increasingly fragile ecosystem.  Hope in the Anthropocene | BCEFF Online 2025\n\nNCECS memberships will be available at each event.\nNorth Coast Ecology Centre Society
