The huge tar sands in Alberta are a potentially profitable resource, but the environmental impact could be heavy and long-term.

Director

From the very beginning of his career, Peter has created films deemed impossible to make, yet readily appreciated once they exist. A key figure in the critical wave of 80’s Canadian filmmakers, Mettler produces works, which elude categorization. Melding intuitive processes with drama, essay, experiment or documentation, his films hold a unique and influential position in creative expression not only in film, but also in new art forms where cinema and other disciplines merge.
