Arc'teryx Presents: Sunbirds

The Sunbird, a unique type of person you've probably never heard of, lives in feverish anticipation of the long nights and crystal-clear days of winter. Descending the rocky capes of the Chic-Chocs and sculpting the immaculate snow of the Gaspé coast, this cinematic ode to winter is a reflection on the importance of protecting nature and re-evaluating our presence within it.

Le Sunbird, une espèce unique de personnes dont vous n'avez probablement jamais entendu parler, déploie ses ailes sur l'arrière-pays et le littoral enneigé de la Gaspésie. Ces créatures vivent dans l’attente fébrile des longues nuits vertigineuses et des journées cristallines de l’hiver. Dévalant les caps rocheux des Chic-Chocs et sculptant la neige immaculée de la côte gaspésienne, ils redonnent vie à l'Hiver, racontant son histoire à travers leur présence en ses étendues mystiques. Cette ode cinématographique à l'hiver est une réflexion sur l’importance de protéger la nature et de réévaluer notre présence dans ses grandeurs.

Superbe. Ce film me rappelle à quel point j’aime l’hiver Canadien, et combien il me manque quand il nous quitte.

Amazing videography. Should be a part of training syllabus for new adventure film makers. Thank you for creating and sharing.

The message is incredible. Nature itself, regardless of the generic and simplistic treatment of our politicians, appears irreverent

Can someone provide some information on the technique the guy at 5:10 is using to create his design in the snow? So cool!

The cinematography is beautiful but the commentary is a little pretentious

[wehateworking]

Amazing cinematography but awful boring text, sorry. These images deserved a much better text.
