SHORT SYNOPSIS BORN FROM A DESIRE TO CREATE TOGETHER IN SPITE OF CIRCUMSTANCE, 11 INTERNATIONAL FILMMAKERS COLLABORATED VIRTUALLY TO BUILD A STATEMENT OF FEAR, PERSISTENCE AND HOPE. “WE SHALL NOT RETURN” MAKES A CASE FOR A BETTER TOMORROW, ONE THAT WORKS FOR ALL OF HUMANITY, NOT JUST THE FEW.

THE FILM STARTED OUT AS A SINGULAR, DEEPLY PERSONAL EXPLORATION OF FEAR FOR OUR COLLECTIVE FUTURE, AND A REACTION TO THE IDEA OF ‘RETURNING TO NORMAL’. IT BECAME A TESTAMENT TO THE WILL OF CREATIVITY. A BEAUTIFUL COLLABORATION BETWEEN A GROUP OF FILMMAKERS ACROSS CANADA AND THE UK, EXECUTED WHILST WORKING REMOTELY, IN ISOLATION AND OBSERVING REGIONAL LOCKDOWN RULES DURING COVID-19.
