Albert Karvonen: Philosophies on Life, Nature and Wildlife Filmmaking (2014)

This documentary follows Albert Karvonen, as he walks the land around his woodland Alberta home, through the four seasons, reflecting on his life, his career as a wildlife filmmaker, and his philosophies on the environment. When the snow lies too deep to walk, he puts on his cross-country skis. He is more than a filmmaker, he is a patient teacher and naturalist, and can identify all of the plants and animals that share the forest. Filmed by his daughter, Ava Karvonen, this is also a story about aging, preparing for death and the legacy one leaves behind.
