Hendrik’s tribute to trees at Pigeon Park in Vancouver Downtown Eastside (DTES)

May 20, 2009 Leave a comment

In this video, Hendrik Beune, Director of AHA MEDIA talks about how some trees in Pigeon Park aren’t sprouting new leaves as he feels the trees know that their time is passing ( There is an ongoing Carrall Street greenway project)

 So in honor of the trees, Hendrik gives them tobacco ( which is a traditonal Westcoast Aboriginal/Native custom of honor )

This was filmed by April Smith of AHA MEDIA on a Nokia N95 mobile cameraphone. April is passionate and skilled in making Nokia films by  exploring mobile media production through the camera lens of a cellphone.
