The Pines of Emily Carr is a clever film that merges a shortish cantata written by Jean Coulthard with text taken from the soulful writings of West Coast artist Emily Carr. The audio track has been deftly combined with images taken from landscape paintings and surces that inspired Carr. The result is a film both stark and stirring, as crisp as a Canadian midwinter night.
