Welcome

“Fairy Creek” covers a period of eight months in 2021, when thousands of activists blockaded logging roads leading to old-growth forests on Vancouver Island, including the Fairy Creek watershed.

Neal Livingston, an executive producer and Nova Scotia filmmaker, says he’s proud to see the excitement Nova Scotians have for the film and the connections they are making to the material.

I recently had the pleasure of viewing Neal Livingston’s 1999 film entitled Suêtes. I’m not sure if Livingston has a knack for making his subjects relax in front of the camera or if he purposely used footage of his less camera-shy interviewees, for all the people who told their stories relayed them in a relaxed and unfeigned manner. Often (his) camera would go into their living rooms, giving the film a down-to-earth tone. Suêtes is another highly original film from Livingston. I imagine documentaries about wind are primarily scientific and do not delve into the cultural impacts of the wind. I doubt many are as funny as Suêtes.

None other than liberal icon Michael Moore has now joined the ranks of the renewable energy-bashers. Working with Director Jeff Gibbs, his long-time collaborator on left-of-center polemics… Moore has, in his new film “Planet of the Humans” (“POTH”) promoted a full-on assault on renewable energy.

Writing for Films for Action, award-winning long-time environmental filmmaker Neal Livingston is even harsher [than the Guardian] in his criticism of the film.

In the four-year history of The Macdonald Notebook, its Seal of Approval has only been granted three times to Nova Scotian food products, but that changes today.

The Notebook is proud to bestow our rarely deployed Seal of Approval on what I think is Nova Scotia’s finest maple syrup, Black River Maple Syrup, produced by Neal Livingston at his operation in the wilds of Mabou, Cape Breton.

On Neal Livingston’s gas plants submission titled, The Environmental Assessments for the Proposed Marshdale and Saltspring Gas Plants in Nova Scotia Should be Summarily Dismissed, and the Projects Cancelled:

Neal that was superb. You should be an attorney in your next life. All valid points.
