Ever the Land ever a favourite

A year after its premiere at the 2015 New Zealand International Film Festival, Sarah Grohnert’s Ever the Land has clocked up its 25th film festival selection with confirmation of a return to Canada.

Last year the film was selected for the Vancouver International Film Festival. Having travelled extensively since then, Ever the Land will head to Toronto for October’s Planet in Focus Environmental Film Festival.
