New cArtographies documentary profiles local artists and their uniquely B.C. viewpoints
The local arts community is about to receive a good review. cArtographies, a documentary profiling B.C. artists directed by Brian Johnson, will debut on Monday (May 17) on the Knowledge Network at 10 p.m. The film features 19 artists from across the province and explores why they choose to live and work within the borders of B.C.
Johnson, a seasoned cinematographer, told the Straight in a phone interview that he was eager to tackle the project. “This for us was totally exciting being B.C.-based,” said Johnson, referring to himself and producer Leah Mallen of Twofold Films. “It’s kind of an enigmatic place to be living and working as an artist. On the one hand, if you have a connection to nature there’s an incredible amount of inspiration to be taken from that. And in Vancouver, the amount of change that’s happening in the city and the influences from Asia-Pacific makes for a really dynamic cultural environment.”
