Environmental crises and isolation loom large in Human Traces, which has been selected for the Discovery section in the of the prestigious TIFF. Produced by WIFT-member Nadia Maxwell and starring fellow WIFT-er Sophie Henderson, the film tells a complex story on a huge canvas: soon after the arrival of a mysterious young man, contact with the outside world is cut off for a husband and wife who are trying to return a remote Subantarctic island, 1000 kilometres from human life, to its natural state. It's director Nic Gorman's first feature, and we're looking forward to its November 16 release in New Zealand.
