David Suzuki confirmed for RIFF 2011

Reykjavik International Film Festival will screen Sturla Gunnarsson's Force of Nature: The David Suzuki Movie within the section of docs revolving around environmental issues. Mr Suzuki will attend the festival and participate in a seminar organized in relation with the film's screening.

David Suzuki, iconic Canadian scientist, educator, broadcaster and activist, delivers a ‘last lecture’ - what he describes as “a distillation of my life and thoughts, my legacy, what I want to say before I die”. The film interweaves the lecture with scenes from the places and events in Suzuki’s life, creating a biography of ideas forged by the major social, scientific and cultural events of the past 70 years.

Sturla Gunnarsson is one of Canada’s most prolific and accomplished filmmakers, moving with ease between feature films, documentaries and television drama. His work has received scores of international accolades including Genie, Gemini and Emmy Awards, the Prix Italia and an Oscar nomination. His films include AIR INDIA 182, BEOWULF AND GRENDEL, RARE BIRDS, SUCH A LONG JOURNEY, GERRIE & LOUISE and FINAL OFFER.
