Feature Narrative
Blue Heron
International Feature Film Competition
In the late 1990s, eight-year-old Sasha and her Hungarian immigrant family move to Vancouver Island, hoping for a new start. But as her brother Jeremy’s erratic behaviour grows increasingly dangerous, the family’s fragile sense of peace begins to crumble. Years later, Sasha, now an adult, looks back through memories, home videos, and silence, seeking to make sense of what was lost. ‘Blue Heron’ is a tender, haunting meditation on family, memory, and the quiet distances between love and understanding.
