We are thrilled to have Project Grizzly back at Hot Docs Cinema! This screening is being re-presented due to the epic blizzard which snowed out our last showing in January.

An inventor goes face to face with Canada’s most deadly land mammal, the grizzly bear, in this Canadian classic that gained cult status, not to mention praise from director Quentin Tarantino and a loving parody on The Simpsons. After creating what he hopes is a grizzly-proof robo suit, Troy James Hurtubise ventures into Alberta’s Rocky Mountains on a quixotic quest to face a grizzly bear, testing his armour—and courage— along the way.

Join director Peter Lynch for a special post-screening Q&A.
