Waterwalker Synopsis
Restored from Kodak Ektachrome 16mm negative to 4K!
WATERWALKER is a feature length collection of Bill Mason's best canoeing shots from a life spent filming and photographing the wilds of Algonquin, near North shield country and north of Superior rivers and lakes and shorelines. It has become a classic of canoe filmmaking. As a filmmaker, depicting himself in the wild, he was and still is the best. As self styled "wild guy filmmakers" Les Stroud and Kevin Callan have come after Mason, but pale in comparison to Mason's craft and use of light to illumination gorgeous wild places. The opening shot, filmed in low dawn light of morning with the majestic Natch cliffs on the Petawawa River in the background is pure painting & artistry with a camera.
