Sarah Fuller: Photographer's Talk Sunday, February 4, 3:30 PM
The National Film Board Stills Division was established in 1939 with the aim to produce and disseminate a scripted idea of Canadian national identity. Landscape took a central position in the creation of the national idea. Sarah Fuller's exhibition Scripted Wilderness aims to explore the staged quality of the NFB images of Banff and how they contributed to the national narrative.
