"Fisherman's Fall"

We are very pleased to have obtained permission from The National Film Board of Canada to screen a 'Canadian classic' from 1967 - "Fisherman's Fall".
This film, now 45 years old, features one of Canada's best known fly-fishermen, essayist Roderick Haig-Brown, demonstrating the art of salmon fishing in the Campbell River of northern Vancouver Island, against a background of early autumn foliage.
The film, like the fisherman, has eyes for more than the river's surface. The camera looks below, showing what the fish sees and the fisherman senses.
A film of solitude and of harmony with nature.

"Digger: Portrait of a Bamboo

We are also excited to screen the 1990 film "Digger: Portrait of a Bamboo Fly Rod Maker".
For over 50 years, Francis Degere has been making bamboo fly rods in his Adams, Massachusetts home. "Digger," as he is known, spends 100 hours handcrafting each split-cane rod from a single culm of bamboo. His skills and techniques are revealed as he teaches the craft to his apprentice, Fred Moran, thus passing on the torch to the next generation.
Shot in documentary style, this film is more than a document of a man and his craft, more than a how-to guide: it is a tribute to a way of life and work that is vanishing in our modern mechanized world.
This little gem, now 22 years old, along with "Fisherman's Fall", will provide a nice contrast to the other films on our Back Cast FFFF list, which are all the more modern, adventure travel type films that we've become accustomed to seeing over the past five or six years.
