DOC BC PRESENTS CARTS OF DARKNESS
The treacherous mountain roads and discarded shopping carts of North Vancouver become the rivers and boats of self-exploration for a group of homeless "free birds" who have few chances at joy. Murray Siple's documentary adopts the tropes of extreme sports filmmaking; fluid flowing cinematography, intense music, visceral pulse pounding action and irreverent characters unbounded by society's constrictions, to bring viewers deep into a world and deep into people they would normally look away from. Shot in stunning high-definition, and featuring the music of Vancouver bands such as Black Mountain and Ladyhawk, Carts of Darkness is a story of endurance that captures the risk and intensity of life lived on the very edge.
"Former snowboarder and filmmaker Murray Siple sets his sights on a group of bottle collectors in mountainous North Vancouver who take ordinary grocery carts laden with empties down some of the steepest hills in Western Canada. The result is a strange mix of high-octane action, delicate social probing and charismatic characters that's hard to ignore, and incredibly fun to watch." Katherine Monk, Vancouver Sun.
Presented in co-operation with the National Film Board of Canada, DOC BC, and the Vancouver International Film Centre
