Between Allah and Me (and Everyone Else) explores the challenges faced by four practicing Muslim women in Canada as they decide to start or stop wearing hijab.

Boy meets girl. But no, it’s not about that or the giddiness of a new romance. It’s about untimely death (no one’s sure of anything these days), true love, soul mates. It’s about the gun and the rose. Genre bending. Heart breaking. An avalanche of colors. Deadpan romance. Lips syncing, singing.

This meditation on cinema’s past from Decasia director Bill Morrison pieces together the bizarre true history of a long-lost collection of 533 nitrate film prints from the early 1900s. Located just south of the Arctic Circle, Dawson City was settled in 1896 and became the center of the Canadian Gold Rush that brought 100,000 prospectors to the area. It was also the final stop for a distribution chain that sent prints and newsreels to the Yukon. The films were seldom, if ever, returned. The now-famous Dawson City Collection was uncovered in 1978 when a bulldozer working its way through a parking lot dug up a horde of film cans. Morrison draws on these permafrost-protected, rare silent films and newsreels, pairing them with archival footage, interviews, historical photographs, and an enigmatic score by Sigur Rós collaborator and composer Alex Somers. Dawson City: Frozen Time depicts the unique history of this Canadian Gold Rush town by chronicling the life cycle of a singular film collection through its exile, burial, rediscovery, and salvation.
