Seven Sisters

Seven Sisters

1989 • 6 min
Seven Sisters is a multi-screen video installation shown on seven different monitors of various sizes, similar to the Seven Sisters mountain range in northwestern British Columbia. MacDonald first encountered the Seven Sisters mountains in the 1980s when he was invited to northern British Columbia for the Gitksan and Wet'suwet'en land claim case, in which the Gitksan and Wet'suwet'en First Nations took the government to court in an effort to regain jurisdiction of their territory that was being destroyed by clear-cut logging. Created in 1989 using aerial footage taken from several vantage points, Seven Sisters showcases the grandness of the landscape with lively mountain goats and beautiful flowers and plants. However, it’s also a document of the devastation that clear-cut logging had on the area, indicating that if action is not taken soon to protect this unique environment, perhaps this will be the only way to see it.

Saga sachets (Légende du Val de l'Ourthe et du Val de l'Amblève)

1989 • 20 min • Belgium
Saga sachets is a beautifully visualized, fantastical tale that weaves a mythical legend about storytelling. Writes Jacques Louis Nyst, "The satchel sagas are very light envelopes taken about by air streams. They arrive shortly before spring in the Ourthe and Amblève Valley, where they settle upside down. In this position, they whisper to the Planet Earth stories they collected during the year. The earth is attentive to them, it garners these stories in the deep of its memory along mysterious channels. The earth's memory is a deep sanctum where deep calm reigns... Out of this mirror of darkness the earth draws the images that it will later express in the guise of landscapes. Landscapes are born of stories told."

Red Earth

Red Earth

1989 • 50 min
Song Xiebao from the Xinjiang Yili Television Station adopted an approach reminiscent of “the father of documentary,” Robert Flaherty, and his style of “romantic ethnography” in the production of Red Earth, which depicts the everyday life of three generations of a Uyghur family living beneath the Flaming Mountains in Xinjiang. Much like Nanook of the North (1922), the characters in the film are all staged portrayals, and the narrative is deliberately arranged, aiming to present a traditional way of life as understood by the filmmaker—one that reflects what they perceive to be the enduring customs of the local people over the centuries.
