FATHER OF NATIONS is an offical selection of the 2022 Calgary International Film Festival!
2022 celebrates the 23rd year of the Calgary International Film Festival. In that time, CIFF has grown to become the largest Film Festival in Alberta, as well as the 6th largest in Canada. The festival features great story telling from around the world and delivers it to every cinematic fanatic who attends. With a wide selection of film-fare there is something to be found to entertain every patron.
We are delighted to announce that, FATHER OF NATIONS will be making its World Premiere at this year’s event.
After suffering a global, catastrophic event; the world is on the verge of extinction. Attempts to engineer humanity have dulled its sanctity choking out new life. Resigned to hopelessness, Jacob attempts to end his suffering in the wasteland when a man finds him and takes him to Haven, the last settlement with a complicated past. Political unrest forces Jacob and the Haven Rebels to flee to the badlands where each of the survivors confront their mortality and purpose in this world.
FATHER OF NATIONS is the first feature by Calgary filmmaker Aleisha Anderson, whose team transformed our Alberta locations of Southern Alberta from Hilda and Brooks to Calgary and the badlands, into a post-apocalyptic universe, and filmed with an entirely Albertan cast and crew.
