Alberta Number One
2025-11-15 14:45 - 16:15 | Alberta Number One, Bytowne Cinema, 325 Rideau Street, Ottawa, ON K1N 5Y4
Join us for a special screening featuring a Q&A with director Alexander Carson!
An eccentric documentary crew treks across the vast roadways of Alberta, Canada, to document monuments, museums, and other roadside curios. Armed with only a loose idea of the project’s final form, the wayward director struggles to manage a slew of messy personal entanglements and rivalries embroiling her collaborators. They look for meaning in the landscape, but their search turns inward as they’re inspired to reckon with their own lives.
Directed with a light touch, this charming cross-country odyssey is part revisionist Western and part road movie. Punctuated by moments of extraordinary tenderness and unexpected violence, it invokes poetry, magic, and prayer to imagine a radical, caring form of wildness on the Canadian frontier.

Alexander Carson

Liz Peterson, Bebe Buckskin, Kris Demeanor, Benjamin Carson
