Directed by Mike Rollo

Logline: La Colle Falls reflects on the consequences of a failed colonial industrial project and its imposing presence in the natural landscape.

Synopsis: At the beginning of the 20th century, a hydroelectric dam was partially built and later abandoned on the North Saskatchewan River near the city of Prince Albert. A century has passed and the concrete structures from this industrial folly continue to frame the surrounding river and forest. Through visual and sonic layerings of water, reflective surfaces, and transparency, this film mediates the consequences of colonial activity over time in a specific, ancient place.
