🇨🇦 The Film

At the end of the 19th century, an essential connection of mountain culture began as certified Swiss mountain guides were hired by the Canadian Pacific Railway to successfully lead the “Golden Age” of mountaineering tourism. As we come out of a global pandemic the future of many historical buildings and landmarks lies on shaky grounds. With a transition to a more online world, talks of digital preservation come up frequently, but will do these recreations ever imbue the same experience as being there in person?
