Join us on February 24th at 7 p.m. for a book talk with Mary Graham as she discusses her recent publication "A Stunning Backdrop: Alberta In the Movies, 1917-1960" 🎬

Graham will take you through the adventures of a young Peter Whyte, who was at the centre of movie making in Banff in the 1920s.

"A Stunning Backdrop" was well researched in the Whyte Museum Archives, and Graham completed the research for her second book, "The Enduring Magic of Banff in Alberta’s Film Industry, Post 1960" as a Lillian Agnes Jones Fellowship recipient in 2021/22.
