National Film Board

What does it mean to lose a colour?

The National Film Board of Canada (NFB) selection at this year's Calgary International Film Festival (CIFF) will feature the world premiere of acclaimed Alberta filmmaker Leanne Allison's Losing Blue, a cinematic poem about what it means to lose the otherworldly blues of ancient mountain lakes, now fading due to climate change.

CIFF will also present local premieres of two dazzling NFB animated shorts: Janet Perlman's The Girl with the Red Beret and Thao Lam and Kjell Boersma's Boat People.
