Runs on a loop approximately every 22 minutes.

"Wanderings in the delta" is a 2-channel video shot in the Fraser River delta in the winter. From both the fog and the clarity of the light on the delta, the film draws lessons about the human relationship to the animals who call it home--above all birds--and our capacity to know about their existences. It patiently observes these animals, and the landscape where they live, as it changes before our very eyes and ears in the wake of historical and ongoing human encroachment into an ecologically important, biologically magnificent, and woefully under-protected, area.

This screening of Wanderings in the delta is presented as part of Facing Ecological Grief, a FREE day of speakers and panel discussions on Saturday, April 29, 2023, from 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM (PDT) here at SFU Goldcorp Centre for the Arts, sponsored by the David and Cecilia Ting Endowment at SFU, in partnership with the SFU Faculty of Environment and SFU Vancouver.
