Postcards from Canada

Haig, Don, (film producer.). Bochner, Sally, (film producer.). National Film Board of Canada (Montreal), (film producer.).

Summary: Sweeping in from the frozen vistas of the Arctic to the frenzy of rush-hour traffic, from deep within the Canadian Shield to the orbiting Radarsat satellite, Postcards from Canada takes us on a whimsical and fact-filled trip through this magnificent nation. Narrated by Peter Gzowski, Postcards from Canada shows us the wonder of the wilderness, the impact of Canadians on the land and the ingenuity we have shown in turning huge obstacles into advantages. This is a film to watch over and over again. To learn more, to see more, to hear more. Shot in stunning 35 mm, Postcards from Canada updates the popular 1967 film Helicopter Canada with breathtaking images and aerial photography. And like postcards themselves, these snapshots of Canada are tantalizing glimpses that will make you "wish you were here"--and be glad that you are.
