Filming began on June 1st on Site Media’s new film as Winnipeg artist Wanda Koop, director Katherine Knight and cinematographer Marcia Connolly embarked upon a week long voyage on the freighter Birchglen as it journeyed along the St. Laurence River from Quebec City to Port Cartier. The trip ended on June 7 when the team disembarked at Welland, Ontario. The team was hosted by Captain Robert Wilkie. Katherine reports that the trip was ‘amazing’ and that she is very excited by the footage captured by Marcia. Travel is often the inspiration for Wanda Koop’s work and the voyage provided a shared experience for the artist and the filmmakers as they traveled along one of Canada’s most significant and fabled waterways.
