Larger Than Life: upcoming aboriginal Canadian concert film

No, it has nothing to do with that horrible Backstreet Boys/Men song.

Larger Than Life is a two-hour concert film that showcases five of the top Canadian aboriginal musical acts.

The diverse talent includes Jason Burnstick, Marc Nadjiwan, Sierra Noble, The Johnnys, and Plex. There’s also a special guest appearance by Bruce Cockburn. All were filmed on stage at the Revival Theatre in Toronto, sponsored by the Aboriginal People’s Television Network. There’ll also be interviews with the artists.

It’ll be shown next week on Wednesday, January 28 in high-definition and digital surround sound at select Cineplex Entertainment theatres across Canada.
