Painted Land: In Search of the Group of Seven (2015)
Positively an enchanting journey of search and discovery!
Get ready for a breathtaking journey into one of North America's most rugged and beautiful landscapes. This documentary will take you deep into the back country of Algoma and the coastline of eastern Lake Superior. The striking cinematography, the exceptional musical score, the weaving of historical footage and letters with a contemporary adventure search for the rediscovery of lost Group of Seven painting sites kept me spellbound. I love history when you can see a photo or a work of art and then be transported today to the exact location where each was created long ago. This is a special film because it brings a deeper understanding of the motivation of artists, writers, and photographers in their interpretation of the natural world. I found it simply enchanting!
