518    Originally produced by Films We Like in 2010. 
520    On the eve of her 70th birthday, Canadian writer Margaret 
       Atwood set out on an international tour criss-crossing the
       British Isles and North America to celebrate the 
       publication of her new dystopian novel, The Year of the 
       Flood. Rather than mount a traditional tour to promote a 
       book’s publication, Atwood conceived and executed 
       something far more ambitious and revelatory—a theatrical 
       version of her novel. Along the way she reinvented what a 
       book tour could (and maybe should) be. But Atwood wasn't 
       selling books as much as advocating an idea: how humanity 
       must respond to the consequences of an environmentally 
       compromised planet before her work of speculative fiction 
       transforms into prophesy. Atwood's odyssey is now captured
       in Ron Mann's new film, In The Wake of the Flood. Rendered
       as a fly-on-the-wall cinéma vérité, In The Wake of the 
       Flood mixes new footage, archival materials and evocative 
       animation in featuring Atwood on the road and at home as 
       an aging but buoyant literary rock star spreading a 
       message of warning and hope as she staged and participated
       in the novel production. In each community she visited, 
       Atwood joined volunteer performers in a loose-knit, grass 
       roots production drawn from the text of her novel. With 
       its mystical, Blakean overtones, Atwood’s theatrical 
       dusplay acts as a neo-pagan ritual that seeks to shake the
       human race into an awareness of the fragile natural world 
       and our vital connection to it. To bring her novel into a 
       live setting, Atwood collaborated with Los Angeles 
       composer Orville Stoeber to write a new style of 
       devotional music influenced by the related genres of 
       country ballads, gospel, jazz and folk. Each performance 
       included a cast of local readers and singers taking the 
       roles of different characters in key scenes from the 
       novel. The events were primarily staged in cathedrals, 
       adding a grand visual element to the proceedings and a 
       layer of ceremonial gravitas. From Edinburgh and London to
       New York City, Toronto and Vancouver, Atwood emerges as an
       earthy sentinel whose rare sensibility is always in the 
       foreground: a life and art coalesced into a unity of 
       medium and message.
