Reel Green ™ Screening Series: THE MAGNITUDE OF ALL THINGS
On November 9th , Reel Green™ presented THE MAGNITUDE OF ALL THINGS as part of our Reel Green™ Screening Series, where we feature Canadian filmmakers that are leading the way in telling climate stories. Focused on bringing community and industry together to learn and connect with filmmakers through climate stories, spanning both narrative and factual content formats, the Reel Green™ Screening Series aims to further conversations and progress surrounding climate change.
Over 70 people attended the event hosted at Science World. The evening commenced with the screening of the short film GREEN CANVAS, skillfully directed by Shahla Islam.
The feature film, THE MAGNITUDE OF ALL THINGS, brought attendees through an “exploration of the emotional and psychological dimensions of climate change,” as well as personal and planetary experiences of grief. Following the impactful screening, the event concluded with a Q&A featuring the director of the film, Jennifer Abbott, and moderated by Hans Dayal, Chair of the DGC-BC Sustainability Committee and Production Manager.

About the Film
THE MAGNITUDE OF ALL THINGS (2020) (86 min)
In Jennifer Abbott’s cinematic journey, the Sundance award-winning Director (The Corporation)draws intimate parallels between the experiences of grief—both personal and planetary. Stories from the frontlines of climate change merge with recollections from the filmmaker’s childhood on Ontario’s Georgian Bay. What do these stories have in common? The answer, surprisingly, is everything. The film takes us around the world to witness a planet in crisis: from Australia’s catastrophic fires and dying Great Barrier Reef, to the island nation of Kiribati, drowned by rising sea levels. In Nunatsiavut, melting ice permanently alters the landscape, while in the Amazon rainforest, Indigenous people fight a desperate battle against oil and mining extraction.
