This film follows Fred Campbell and his mother, Monique, on a deeply emotional journey in Nunavik on the Delay River, a wild and untouched river flowing into Ungava Bay where Atlantic salmon still thrive. At its heart, the story is one of resilience, love, and perseverance—mirroring the salmon that swim upstream against all odds.

As Monique faces illness and the passage of time, Fred brings her back to the North, reconnecting her with the healing power of nature and the memories forged years earlier on a salmon expedition in Gaspésie. À contre-courant is a moving tribute to wild rivers, the enduring bond between mother and son, and the timeless hope embodied by Atlantic salmon.

Contours of Nature follows the poetic life journey of a man shaped by a lifelong passion for fly fishing. Beginning with a formative childhood experience on the stormy shores of the Irish Sea in the 1940s, the film traces how this first encounter with water and wonder grew into a deep, enduring relationship with nature. As the years pass—from coal mines to the rivers of the Canadian Rockies—fly fishing becomes less about the fish and more about patience, presence, and those rare moments when man and nature are in perfect balance.

Through elegant narration and intimate reflection, the film also bears witness to the growing fragility of wild rivers, questioning our impact on the land. Now in his eighties, still walking riverbanks with old friends, the protagonist embodies a quiet wisdom and a powerful message: true passion is not about conquest, but about understanding, respect, and protection.

In Kind was born from Kate and Scotty Sherin’s gratitude for the positive impact fishing has had on their lives, evolving from a simple fishing bet into a deeper search for meaning and connection. Traveling through the Maritimes in pursuit of trout and salmon, they meet anglers and researchers whose lives have also been shaped by this passion. The film celebrates wild rivers, adventure, and friendship, while highlighting the unspoken promise shared by many anglers—to give back to the waters they love through conservation, community, and stewardship, in return.

This Is Ours follows Sarah Nellis and Andrew Murphy, partners in life and business, as they launch Gaspé Coastal, a new fishing lodge in the heart of the Cascapédia Valley. Deeply connected to the rivers and waters of the Gaspé Peninsula, they navigate the challenges of their first season—welcoming guests, guiding, managing gear, and hosting—while staying true to the vision that brought them there.

From chasing Atlantic salmon on legendary rivers to sight-fishing striped bass on coastal flats, the film captures an intimate portrait of passion, commitment, and a new chapter unfolding in an iconic place.

Dislodged is a comedy series inspired by the Miramichi River, once renowned for its Atlantic salmon and now facing a dramatic decline that threatens both the ecosystem and the communities that depend on it. Through an offbeat and humorous lens, the Cultivation Pictures team explores the real challenges faced by anglers and river communities, using comedy to spark awareness and conversation around conservation.

Filmed in the summer of 2024 and supported by the Canada Media Fund, the Bell Fund, and the New Brunswick Film and Television Development Incentive, the project offers an original, accessible take on sport fishing, conservation, and the cultural heritage of the Miramichi River.

In recent years, Atlantic salmon in Quebec have faced increasingly difficult spawning conditions, marking a critical turning point for the future of the species and its habitat. As waterways warm, riparian environments degrade, and human pressures intensify, salmon stand as both a warning sign and a symbol of the fragile balance of our ecosystems.

Through encounters with researchers, biologists, and fishers, the North Shore Group and the Quebec Federation for Atlantic Salmon explore the causes behind this decline—from climate change and disease to aquaculture and habitat loss—while reminding us of our shared responsibility. More than an observation, this documentary is a call to action and a message of hope, asking a simple but powerful question: what if saving Atlantic salmon begins with finally listening to them?
