Millefiore Clarkes

A compassionate new documentary from award-winning filmmaker Millefiore Clarkes. It centers on Evelyn Christopher, a 94-year-old farmer who still wakes up at dawn to work her fields. She grows vegetables, stacks firewood and doesn’t really care for contemporary society.

This short documentary takes a look at the changing face of PEI's agricultural industry. Once famous for its spuds and red mud, this tiny island province now has higher than average cancer and respiratory illness rates. Is there a link to industrialized farming? Rather than dwelling on PEI's worrisome mono-cropping practices, Island Green dares to ask: What if PEI went entirely organic? The stirring words of PEI-born poet Tanya Davis are coupled with beautiful imagery and poignant stories from the island's small but growing community of organic farmers, reminding us that we can rob the land only so much before it robs us of the nourishment we need for life. Island Green is ultimately a story of hope and a healthy promise.

In this dreamlike journey across the North American landscape, Stalking Love weaves together seemingly dissimilar realities. The human relationship to "love" is explored through the perspectives of the prostitute, the homeless man, the preacher, the business man, and a myriad of others.

This lyrical, dramatic film explores the anguish that climate change and a global state of uncertainty can impart upon the human psyche.

Portraying the uniqueness of intergenerational relationships, three young artists (a dancer, a musician and an animator) weave their work with tales of hardship and humour told by three grandmothers.

Musician Catherine MacLellan—the daughter of Canadian singer/songwriting legend Gene MacLellan—grew up surrounded by her father’s music. He committed suicide when she was 14. The Song and the Sorrow follows Catherine as she journeys to understand her father and face her own struggles with mental illness. Through archival footage and intimate interviews with friends, family members, and musicians who knew and played with Gene—including Anne Murray, Lennie Gallant, and the late Ron Hynes—the film reveals a troubled and loving man who was never at ease with fame or money.

A lyrical gaze at the city of Toronto as seen one September not long ago.

Moments before boarding a plane to Toronto, the Director's boyfriend handed her the challenge of documenting her six day journey. The result is a six minute sense-weaving experience.

A brief impression of everything. An attempt to glimpse oneness, in the face of escalating world division and disassociation. A lyrical film culled from footage accumulated over more than a decade of productions, old family archives, and stock sources.

In Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada, there occurs a daily natural phenomenon. At dusk thousands of crows appear, as if out of no where, in the sky over the city, and flock to Victoria Park at the water’s edge. They amass in such numbers that they turn entire trees black and fill the sky with a symphony of haunting cries.
