In an exclusive Canadian premiere, the IMAX film Great North, produced
and distributed by TVA International, will be showing at the Paramount
Montreal IMAX theatre from February to June 2001. The film will
be presented in its original English version and in French as well.
Great North is a large format IMAX film, the beauty of which won
over critics and audiences alike during recent screenings in Montreal
at the World Film Festival, and in London and Los Angeles. The film
was hailed by the Montreal daily newsaper La Presse as "probably
the most beautiful film eve made about the North (...) a masterpiece
of cinematography". Great North introduces Inuit peoples living
in harmony with the harsh elements of the Canadian Arctic, within
the world's largest herd of migratory mammals: the caribou, and
also describes the way of life of the Saami culture of Northern
Sweden.
The unique experience of large-format screen projections take viewers
on an odyssey through majestic polar regions, whose rarely seen
wealth of fauna and nature command respect and wonder. Thanks to
the IMAX process, Great North captures the essence of the Arctic
polar circle, one of the planet's least explored territories.
