Winner of GSCA Best Cinematography award

The Great Bear Rainforest IMAX® film, sponsored by Destination BC, took home the esteemed award for Best Cinematography from the Giant Screen Cinema Association (GSCA) 2019 Achievement Awards in Victoria, BC.

Destination BC is proud to have partnered with McGillivray Freeman Films on the Great Bear Rainforest film, to bring the stunning wildlife and environment in this magical corner of BC to viewers across the world.

The IMAX® documentary premiered in Canada February 15 and has since been scheduled to screen in 29 theatres across the globe. It offers a giant window into this pristine British Columbia wilderness, inspiring viewers to book their own trip to British Columbia, driving awareness and consideration of the whole province as a travel destination. Narrated by BC’s own Ryan Reynolds, the film vividly captures many of BC’s iconic experiences from wildlife to wilderness, oceans, mountains, rainforests and Indigenous culture.

“As proud sponsors of the Great Bear Rainforest, we are so thrilled to see the film recognized for its cutting-edge cinematography of our province’s renowned wilderness,” says Maya Lange, Vice President of Global Marketing for Destination BC. “On behalf of Destination BC, I would like to thank the entire production team for inspiring people across the world to come experience the transformative power of British Columbia, and for reminding us all of the beauty that surrounds us in the place that we are fortunate to call home. Congratulations to you all!”

Directed by award-winning storyteller Ian McAllister, Great Bear Rainforest goes way off the beaten path to reveal a land of grizzlies, coastal wolves, sea otters, and more. Found on Canada’s remote Pacific coast, the Great Bear Rainforest is part of the largest temperate rainforest ecoregion in the world. The area has been home to Indigenous peoples for thousands of years.

“To be recognized by the Giant Screen industry with this award is an honour and reflects what a globally significant and spectacular place the Great Bear Rainforest is, with appreciation to the talented film makers on my team that contributed to achieving this award,” says Ian McAllister, Director of Great Bear Rainforest.

 

Winner of Jackson Wild Best Engaging Youth Film award

The Great Bear Rainforest IMAX® film is also a recipient of the Jackson Wild Best Engaging Youth Film award, presented at the Jackson Wild Media Award 2019 in Jackson, WY. The awards recognize and celebrate excellence and innovation in science and nature storytelling, with this particular one being awarded to the program that most effectively inspires an appreciation of the natural world, or issues associated with animals and the environment, among young people in the 6-12 age group.
