If you still haven’t seen the local documentary about Sheila Burnford you have plenty of opportunities to do so.
Co-director Kelly Saxberg tells us this fall the City of Thunder Bay is planning to screen the 30-minute piece it for free at the Paramount Theatre, and it’s available online below.
Saxberg says she’s honoured that the film, co-directed by Dianne Brothers, recently won Best Film Overall and Best Documentary at the Equinox Women’s Film Festival in Alaska.
“It’s really exciting, especially because it’s a women’s festival,” Saxberg admits.
The movie is about Burnford’s time in Port Arthur where she wrote the book The Incredible Journey that later went on to become two Disney films. (File Photo)
