Winds of Heaven is a ninety-minute filmic journey into the deep brooding mystery and inner beauty of Emily Carr’s paintings — a lyrical, luminescent and entertaining impression of the life of Carr and her connection to the First Nations people of the Northwest Coast of British Columbia. Michael Ostroff’s direction of John Walker’s award-winning camera and Edmund Eagan’s intimate music brings a sense of movement, grace and energy to the film. Diane D’Aquila’s layered and textured read presents a portrait of a living, breathing, tough, vulnerable, smart and ultimately sympathetic Emily Carr as has never before been brought to the screen.
