This film is available for free from April 11 to August 4, 2024 as part of a collaboration with the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) in conjunction with the exhibition Wanda Koop: WHO OWNS THE MOON.
An ethereal experience of light and weather unfolds within a temporary snow structure built on the frozen Nestaweya River Trail in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Invited by 2023 Warming Huts: An Arts + Architecture Competition on Ice, artist Wanda Koop, designer Thom Fougere and a team of snow experts build a contemporary snow fort that functions as an experiential work of land art. Light and sound reflect and reverberate within a polar vortex at the geographical center of North America.
These online film screenings are presented by the Festival international du film sur l’art and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. The screenings have been made possible thanks to the financial support of the Government of Quebec, the Canada Council for the Arts and the Conseil des arts de Montréal.
