Throughout the entire “Listen Up NWT” project with the Gryphon Trio last season, from launch concert to three-week school tour of six communities to rehearsals and show at Yellowknife’s Northern Arts and Cultural Centre, we were followed around by a documentary film crew led by PJ Marcellino. This weekend at the Yellowknife Film Festival, a 30-minute preview of the film Way Up North will be screened, along with live music and a Q&A session.
If you’re in Yellowknife, check it out and let me know what you think! I wish I could be there — we launched the project one year ago, and I have such vivid and happy memories of the whole experience, I would be thrilled to visit the North again and again. Not sure when the complete film is due to be finished, but this screening will give you a significant taste. Click the Yellowknife Film Festival link for information and tickets.

I’m delighted to see how the widening ripples of this interesting project continue to expand outwards and are touching more and more people in different ways and mediums!
It also for me brings back countless wonderful memories!
