Banff Centre Co-production wins Gemini Award

Trio, a co-production with Veronica Tennant and The Banff Centre, won a Gemini Award earlier last week at a ceremony in Toronto. Roger Vernon, director of photography, won Best Cinematography in a Variety, Comedy or Performing Arts Program for his work on Trio.

Trio also received a Gemini Nomination for Best Editing in the same category.

Trio, supported by the Paul D. Fleck Fellowship in the Arts, was filmed in the Rolston Recital Hall at The Banff Centre in August 2001, and features music performed by the Rolston Trio (Shauna, Isobel, and Tom Rolston). Music was recorded and post-production completed in the Audio department at The Banff Centre.

Broadcast on CBC's Opening Night on March 28, 2002, Trio won an Alberta Motion Pictures Industries Association award for Best Vignette. Trio is also entered in competition in this year's IMZ Dance Screen in Monaco, and at FIPA, the International Festival of Audiovisual Programs in Biarritz, France in January, 2003.
