Alberta Number One (Filmmakers in Attendance for Q&A!)
An eccentric documentary crew treks across the vast roadways of Alberta, Canada, to document monuments, museums, and other roadside curios. Armed with only a loose idea of the project’s final form, the wayward director struggles to manage a slew of messy personal
entanglements and rivalries embroiling her collaborators. They look for meaning in the landscape, but their search turns inward as they’re inspired to reckon with their own lives.
Directed with a light touch, this charming cross-country odyssey is part revisionist Western and part road movie. Punctuated by moments of extraordinary tenderness and unexpected violence, it invokes poetry, magic, and prayer to imagine a radical, caring form of wildness on the Canadian frontier. With Liz Peterson, Bebe Buckskin, Ingrid Vargas, Randall Okita, Kris Demeanor, Benjamin Carson.
Filmmakers including Director Alexander Carson and David Ehrenreich (DOP) in attendance for Q&A.

ALBERTA NUMBER ONE (Alexander Carson, 2025 / 83 mins / NR) Alberta Number One is a contemporary revisionist Western. Instead of guns, the characters brandish movie cameras and microphones as they explore the disjointed, sometimes dangerous "wild west" of Alberta, Canada's museums and roadside attractions.
