Directed by Tracy Peters

Logline: Water bodies grow restless as they awaken from winter's deep freeze.

Synopsis: Fevered is a meditation on the heated drama enacted by lakes and rivers as winter unravels. Piecing together 16mm footage and sound recordings, Peters re-imagines the pulsing of waterways as a metaphorical rhizome swelling outward in a feverish response to global warming.

Director's Statement: In my interdisciplinary practice, I am drawn to threatened habitats that are in the midst of cataclysmic change. What deeply motivates me is resilient behaviour in ecosystems that enable their adaptation to human intervention. For the most part, I carry out my work and research in natural environments where unpredictable weather and ecological surprises allow me to access the voice of the wind, the water and land.
