Alberta Number One Movie

Alberta Number One Movie Trailer HD - Plot synopsis: In ALBERTA NUMBER ONE, an eccentric documentary crew treks across the vast roadways of Alberta, to document monuments, museums, and other roadside curios. Armed with only a loose idea of the project’s final form, the wayward director struggles to manage a slew of messy personal entanglements and rivalries embroiling her collaborators. They look for meaning in the landscape, but their search turns inward as they’re inspired to reckon with their own lives. Directed with a light touch, this charming cross-country odyssey is part revisionist Western and part road movie.

ALBERTA NUMBER ONE asks: What is the contemporary role of museums, institutions that often perpetuate representations of cultural authority? Are these public places complicit in maintaining unequal power relations and existing stereotypes? In the development phase of the film, seven accomplished Canadian artists joined Carson as writing correspondents and collaborators: Benjamin Carson, Bebe Buckskin, Kris Demeanor, Alexandra Lazarowich, Randall Okita, Liz Peterson, and Ingrid Vargas. All of the collaborators stayed with the film, six are featured in the film as the characters they researched and Lazarowich stayed on as Executive Producer.
