by 4 award-winning young filmmakers - Victor Oakes, Richard Wilson, Tracey A Loeffler, Chris Fraser.
Shot on digital video during GIFTS Independent Media Producer's program.
There is no question that Newfoundlanders have a strong cultural identity, but can it survive even a
far-flung island off the western coast of the country? "Newfoundlanders Away" examines the tenaciousness
of this unique Canadian culture through the lives of five Newfoundlanders who have chosen to re-locate.
Through interviews, music and stunning visual footage, this colourful film answers that yes, culture
survives without any question, even 7500 km from home.
Newfoundlanders Away was the runner-up for the 2003 EyeLens fiml festival
