Fly Away Home (1996) Dir. Carroll Ballard

Fly Away Home: It is difficult to convey the influence the 1996 film Fly Away Home by Carroll Ballard had on me in my early teenage years. First of all, it was based on a true Canadian story that featured my country's beautiful flora and fauna. It instilled in me a patriotic feeling I don't believe I had experienced before. The filming location in Ontario resembled a piece of land in Quebec's Eastern Townships where my uncle had built a cabin and my family vacationed when I was a child. Those memories were some of my fondest, and Fly Away Home brought them right back to me. It also featured Anna Paquin, a Manitoba-born actress I had come to appreciate in other roles such as the young Jane Eyre in Franco Zeffirelli's 1996 film adaptation. For some reason, the costumes designed for her character by Marie-Sylvie Deveau became a style ideal for me to emulate, and I became strongly aware of my own fashion sense. It still inspires me to this day. Still photography: Takashi Seida
