The documentary focuses on three of these artists Jeff Wall, Rodney Graham and Ian Wallace who chose photography as their medium, offering insight into how and why their ascent occurred in a city until recently known more for its surrounding forests than its fine arts. <47mn 50s>Language:EnglishNotes:Detailed holdings information: -
