Going beyond gallery walls and onto the screen, Walk With Us offers a unique insight into the minds of two of Canada’s most internationally acclaimed visual artists – Janet Cardiff and Georges Bures Miller.  In the past, they have made a name for themselves creating ‘Audio Walks’ and other sound-based art which asks viewers to actively participate.

Walk With Us begins with a video walk created for the Hebbel theatre in Berlin and veers off to the creation of a composition along walls of the Penitentiary in Philadelphia and then again, like a circuitous path, we witness the tuning of their acclaimed choral piece 40 Part Motet. The documentary draws us deeper and deeper into the world of these brilliant artists, as we see them at their home in the Okanagan Valley and explore with them  their theatre- based works that ultimately resulted in “The Paradise Institute” - a piece that won them the top price at the Venice Biennale in 2001.

Since most of Cardiff/Miller’s pieces are site specific, it has been very difficult to experience the wide range of their work.  Walk With Us changes that and allows the viewer to experience these mesmerizing works as if fully present.
